GAY!!!

[Indelible]

i like rammstein, but that was a bit bizarre.

what is the song about? what are they trying to say with the video?
how do the words relate to the video?

i think the video would have been better without the groping huddle of guys and the ass shots

if it only showed rammstein naked behind their instruments i think it would be tolerable.

the song by itself: cool

[Indelible]

oh, and what's with that new hairdo of the singer!?!

long hair with a shave down the middle??

still looks psychotic as usual tho.

Well, the guys in Rammstein have a penchant for making odd videos...

Mann gegen Mann means literally, man against man, so....

Here's a rough translation of the lyrics:

$1:

Fate has smiled upon me
And has made a present for me
Threw me onto a warm star
Close to the skin, far from the eye
I take my fate into my own hand
My desire is fulfilled

Where the sweet water dies
Because it is spoiled in the salt
I keep the Little Prince in mind
A king without a queen
When a woman strays to me
Then all the world becomes confused

Man against man
My skin belongs to men
Man against man
Like attracts like

Man against man
I am the servant of two lords
Man against man
Like attracts like

I am the corner of all rooms
I am the shadow of all trees
No link is missing in my chain
When the desire pulls from behind
My gender curses me as a traitor
I am the nightmare of all fathers

Man against man
My skin belongs to men
Man against man
Like attracts like

Man against man
But my heart does freeze on certain days
Man against man
Cold tongues that strike

Bridge

I am not interested in balance
The sun shines onto my face
But my heart does freeze on certain days
Cold tongues that strike

Man against man

Rammstein has a history of double meanings. I liked the one where they were fat boys better and Amerika rocked. This one the tune is great but the video is disturbing, but that is what they do best.

[Blue_Nose]

On a scale from 0 to pretty gay, that was pretty gay.


Was the singer wearing high heels?

[xerxes]

It's probably best not to ask...

[Scape]

Oh yeah baby. Be glad it wasn't this guy

[Indelible]

yup, those were definitely pointy-toed stilettos.

bizarre

Destiny smiled on me
and gave me a present
Threw me on a warm star [1]
So close to the skin, so far from the eye
I take my destiny in my own hands
My desire is manned

Where the fresh water dies
because it taints itself in salt
I keep the Little Prince in mind
A king without a queen
When a woman is mistaken about me
then the bright world is confused

Man against man
My skin belongs to the gentlemen
Man against man
Birds of a feather flock together
Man against man
I am the servant of two masters
Man against man
Birds of a feather flock together

I am the corner of all rooms
I am the shadow of all trees
No link is missing in my chain [2]
when lust pulls from behind
My sex calls me a traitor [3]
I am the nightmare of all fathers

Man against man
My skin belongs to the gentlemen
Man against man
Birds of a feather flock together

Man against man
But my heart freezes on some days
Man against man
Cold tongues that beat there

Gay-ah [4]

I'm not interested in balance
The sun shines in my face
But my heart freezes on some days
Cold tongues that beat there

Gay-ah
Man gayfor man [5]

[1] "Warm" means the same as the English word "warm", but also is slang for "homosexual". Thus, the star is either warm or gay, or both.

[2] "Glied" can mean both "link" (of a chain) and "member" – that is, "penis".

[3] "Geschlecht" can mean "sex" or "gender", but can can also be short for "Geschlechtsteil" which means "genitals".

[4] The screaming ("Ah") has been combined with "Schwuler" to make "Schwulah". That, or it's similar to "playa" as opposed to "player", just changing the ending to sound "hip".

[5] Gegen and "gay gen" sound the same. The former means "against", the latter "gay for".
