Mein Teil (English) Lyrics
The Master Butcher
He likes me so much he could eat me up
Soft parts and even hard ones
are on the menu
what you eat
and you know
what it is
My part no
Because that's my part no
My part no
I'm bleeding heavily and feeling sick
Although I have to fight to stay awake
I keep eating while in convulsions
and so nicely flambed
and so lovingly served on porcelain
And with it, a good wine and gentle candlelight
Yeah, I'll take my time
You've got to have some culture
what you eat
and you know
what it is
My part no
Because that's my part no
Yes it's my part no
It will cut through hosts of angels
Feather-flesh will shriekingly fall
from the top of the clouds onto my childhood
My part no
Because that's my part no
My part no
my 'part' = my dick!
this song is about a case of cannibalism that recently occured in germany. somebody put an ad on the internet in which he was looking for somebody to eat and he found somebody. they met and the cannibal killed and ate he other one. the lawsuit took quite a long time since the victim actually was perfectly ok with the fact that he got killed and the judges were unsure whether to convict him because of murder or not. in the end i think he was convicted and got a life term. in an interview with rammstein i heard one of the guys say that he actually thought it was better to eat someone you know and who agrees to be eaten than to kill and eat an animal that has never been asked if it wanted to be killed.
@sonne_mond yeah, The last comment of the very last line of your analysis sounds like like you are describing their keyboardist, Flake. He is a well-known vegetarian. Its interesting, because Rammstein is full of contradictions. Till, the lead singer, in contrast is a well known hunter.

Yeah, very disturbing background to the song...easily Rammstein's most demented song.
I read about this song somewhere... Think it was Kerrang!... Based on the German internet cannibal Armin Miewed, who got life (I think) for Canabilising Bernd-Juergen Brandes. According to guitarist Richard Kruspe- Bernstein, its a love song :-S. Very demented and disturbing, What Rammstein do best...
I think I prefer it in german, its less scary then
hey sonne which one said it was better to eat a willing human then an animal anyway
so is it cannibalism and s&m? in the video he's getting a bj by an angle.
This song is about cannibalism. scary but its a brilliant song
Cannibalism, a most lovly way of life don't ya think?
ick. catchy song though.
