I love this whole entire album and I got to say this is one of my all time favorite songs by them. the instruments the layers, till's vocals, the meaning, the video and the clarity of the instruments and till's voice in this song and album is just on another level.

Till Lindemann does write the lyrics..All 6 of them in one way or another decide on the lyrics and what makes it or doesn't make it...all 6 have to agree...so if Till writes lyrics to a song but 2 of them dont like it then Till will rewrite it until they do. "their approach to songwriting, which consists of Lindemann writing and singing the lyrics over instrumental pieces the rest of the band have completed beforehand." "During the recording of the songs for the Mutter Album...For one song, not known which, Till wrote 24 different lyrics before finally, everyone in the band agreed and it finally made it on the album" So that means that they all have a say and they all contribute in the way a song finally comes out. For ex. in the song "Spieluhr" Till had originally written in the lyrics that the child was going to die but the rest of the band members finally convinced to change the lyrics so that the child survives in the end.

Just some remarks: The several times mentioned "Schwarze Mann" ("black man") is known as a child fright figure in the German-speaking area ("Wer hat Angst vorm Schwarzen Mann" = Who does fear the black man). Depending on the region and time, it was understood to mean different beings: a dark shadowy figure or a man dressed in black. As a metaphor, the "bogeyman" reached a "peak" as personalization of evil, savagery, and the unknown in the course of colonization, and in the process also acquired a racist connotation. In this context, I find the consumption of those sweets (German so-called "negro kisses") at the end during the end credits very interesting, which work through this "black man" symbolism. Also the colors usage is interesting (Black/White/Red representing the Nazi-color Spectrum). I also found it interesting at the end of the credits that when the TV was destroyed, the color came back into the picture. Further, I noticed that the pie-like plots seen from above correspond to the "political symbol" at the lectern where the singer, wearing a straitjacket, gives his speech. After these borders & plots collapse during the wild shoot-out, the politician, unleashed by the straitjacket to spread his propaganda/fear. Cheering on the cheerleaders is the equivalent of pitching an idea/product and the dancers are slammed with money to sell the bricks and guns to the landowners. This Clip has many layers and can be interpreted in many directions. I see there is a statement on xenophobia and populism/media

Russians also work in my current company. I met Russian soldiers as a child. They were very kind to us. Gave us badges. I find it very sad what is happening right now. I am not an enemy of the Russian people. I only wish for peace between the peoples of the world. But at the moment there is a lot of hate being stirred up. I hope it will be over soon. Many people die every day because of the will of individuals who have stones in their chests.

Und dann erzählt man ihnen, dass Lindemann Dichter ist. Das ist quasi ein Schalter, der den Menschen zeigt, dass die Texte von Rammstein nicht nur bedeutungsvoll sondern auch speziell sind. Alleine die Wortwahl der Texte ist, meiner bescheidenen Meinung nach, sehr gehoben.

Finally. One of the few reactions i'm really looking forward to.

When they were shooting at the screens, they were actually watching their neighbors. You can see them installing surveillance cameras on top of the walls, facing each other (interestingly, the cameras are also connected with red wire). So i think they were scared of their neighbors because on the screen they could see them with guns. Also, the cheerleaders in the background cheering them on while shooting in my opinion supports the theory that the government wanted this to happen. The people are supposed to be scared of each other, as a measure of control.

Been a fan from the beginning. The album Zeit is a master piece. Angst is a fantastic song, but for some reason Zeit is one of my favourite songs of all time. I really love the lyrics in this song and the arrangement of the music 🎶🤗 Love your reactions to Rammstein songs 💕 Thank you

I knew you would love this one!!! So happy that you understood and appreciated all of the symbolism in this video. The breakdown in this song is sick. Two areas I interpreted differently (and that’s the beauty of Rammstein; there are so many ways you can interpret their music): 1- in the breakdown where they start shooting the tv’s; if you notice, you’ll see that each of their cameras is pointed toward their neighbor, and you’ll catch on Paul’s tv that he sees Richard with his gun. My interpretation there is each of them is so fearful that they turn on each other, so them shooting the tv’s is them attacking each other, essentially. 2- at the end where Till destroys the tv and the color comes back; I interpreted that to be them deciding to stop listening to the propaganda being fed to them (whether it be by the media, government, whatever). So, each time he hits the tv a little bit of color comes back, like the fog is being lifted and they are able to see clearly again and not be brainwashed with whatever was being fed to them. Very poignant video. Absolute masterpiece. Looking forward to your other reactions (please do Lügen!!!). 😁 You da bomb, keep doing your thing.

The meaning of this song is really deep and I actually love how direct they are with these lyrics. The "black man" is sort of a word play because it is both a german synonym for "boogie man" but in the context of this song it can also be understood literally. Germany and Europe in general have seen large amounts of refugees in recent years which sadly led to a lot of racism in the media and in politics. Many politicians used fear of foreigners to profit in elections and I really like how they portrayed that in this video. The whole message and video were really strong but I also LOVE the music, especially that last bridge with Till's ragin voice. I am so happy that Rammstein just never get old and that their music keeps evolving without dropping their main sound

The german word for boogie man literally translating to black man can be taken literally beyond the context of this song. It's not a coincidence, this usage of the term is absolutely rooted in racism. Even if many people (children) probably use it without actively thinking about it. Which is what I think Rammstein wants to draw attention to in this song by using the term in this way.

i think this song has a more direct reading. they are portraying the word state as today with a more detailed look at europe. the racism and rise of the extremes right parties; the closure of the borders; the resume of the arms race... what really strikes me is how everything is allowed through the cheerleaders, a notorious usa symbol, and how they fit perfectly in the video like they are there but cannot really notice them or pay attention to them. you just don't think about it until you start writing; after all why cheerleaders would be present to a politc speech, sell bricks and weapons ? i think the main characters of this video are the cheerleaders, after all everything that happens woudn't happen without their actions.

Жыл бұрын

Rammstein are just political mainstream idiots.

You're absolutely right about the "bogey man" equivalent, however, it's kind of a double meaning in general. Historically, it was a saying while playing hide and seek. The seeker would say: "Who is afraid of the black man!" The hiders would answer: "No one!" Then the seeker would ask: "And if he comes for you?" And then the hiders would answer: "Then we are running away!" and this was the start of playing hide and seek for children. Historically speaking, the "black man" might really have referred to the grim reaper, however, after the short colonial era of the German Reich and especially nowadays there is a different connotation. That's why you would normally not hear this expression anymore, at least very seldom. One of the things that might slip into the double meaning is the fact that the band members eat Dickmann's at the end of the video. In Germany, Dickmann's has always been called "Negerküsse", which translates to the N-word and then "kisses". Up until the late 2000s, there wasn't really any other name for it. So a couple of years ago, Dickmann's ceased calling them in this racist way and they found different expressions for their product. However, conservatists and people from the far-right are still nuts about this and try to call them with this old rather racist name whenever possible in order to trigger those "leftist snowflakes". For a German, it's pretty apparent to me, especially with the refugees in the video, that most of it targets certain right wing movements within Germany. The right wing movement had a lot of success in the years between 2015 and 2018 due to the larger number of Syrian refugees coming to Germany. A far-right party named AfD ("Alternative für Deutschland"), formerly a 4%-party, got into the Bundestag in 2017 with 12.6%, mainly because of their anti-refugee policy which was presented with all types of fear-induced scenarios ("refugees are rapists", "refugees are terrorists", etc.). Apart from the fact that art is always subject to personal interpretation and that there is no "right" or "wrong" interpretation, as a German there are some motives in here that are easily recognizable from our own zeitgeist.

I predict you will cry at how beautiful and perfect they are & how they make you feel. And that's still just the tip of a huge iceberg. Sorry I went on there, but I was impressed that I should. Many blessings and hugs!

Absolutely.. I felt exactly the same. Album of the Year. Angst and Zeit are incredible pieces of art. So much Power. So much emotion. So many layers of „truth“

Zeit made me cry. Zick Zack made me smirk. Angst made me shiver.Talking about theatrics and intensity...damn. They´ve already set such a high bar in their history and yet here they come outdoing themselves again. Your reaction says it all...

This album is pure art from start to finish and can listen to it all day without getting tired of it. Do enjoy your Rammstein concert as I have seen them live and they’re pure art in person❤

I tottaly recommend you to listen to ZAZ - Le jardin des larmes feat. Till Lindemann . It is a duet of Till from Rammstein and a french singer ZAZ. Simply beautiful.

First of all, i love your reaction Videos so mutch. The words you choose and how you choose them. Absolutely great. You explain the videos with devotion and such a great voice, please keep it up and gladly more of many great Rammstein songs. "ANGST", what a board this title and politically as well as socially more topical than ever #noWar. Since you like listening to Rammstein while playing sports, do so with this title. It makes you 20% better, that's how I feel anyway, incredibly good and motivating.

This is the best reaction I have seen on this song!! I love your eye and feel - your conclusions! Have fun at the concert! 🙂

For sure the album of the year. And I can't wait either too go to their concert i Hamburg. Thank you for your, always, amazing reaction

When the clock counted time to zero on a premier, my heart was beating so fast.

I can just imagine the Viking clap will register on richter scales when they play this song in big stadiums! Been a fan from the 90´s and i honestly think this is their best album. Im totally blown away by it.

Once again a masterful review Aileen. Rammstein have once again proven they have no peers (except maybe Nightwish). Yes their style may have changed, but they have been around for a very long time and to remain relevant change is required. With the skill they possess, we really are experiencing a golden era and there is not enough publicity for this impressive band. Nothing changes as new listeners always are stunned by the sheer power and theatrics regardless of album. It would appear that they may not come to Australia which is very sad and we are incredibly envious of the other countries. We know everyone who gets to see them are in for an experience of a lifetime. Please keep reviewing and a review of the concert that you are going of possibly the most exciting band of our time. Thank you

They better come back down under. Been a fan since ‘97. Saw them in ‘01 (Sydney and Melbourne) and waiting patiently. Lol Agree with all your comments above also.

I just love your reactions! You nail it, always! 👍👍👍

I think the most common interpretation of Angst is that it is a song about xenophobia. In the video the characters are building walls out of fear, arming themselves out of fear, and destroying what they have out of fear.

And eventually, even the demagogue TV is shot to pieces by the all-devouring paranoia, leaving just a black hole of nothing.

That was remarkable. Really the best I've heard from them in awhile, just my opinion, and the video is really powerful. The world has gone completely mad, I'm glad someone has the guts to comment on it Great reaction!

Rammstein was always great at making music as well as giving people something to think about. Music like that is so needed in modern world.

This is a masterpiece!!! The first time i heard this song i got pretty emotional and had to take a break .But now I just cant get enough of this song . I also love your reactions a lot because you speak from your heart and dont hide your emotions I really enjoy watching your videos.

First time I heard Puppe was when I went to Rock am Ring and a friend played it on his stereo. I literally got jumpscared once Till went ham 😂 love that song!

7:59 That visual is much more benigng than you thought, It's kinda like fear eating itself in the end. It's a positive message, the people have woken up finally

Can’t wait to see Rammstein in Minneapolis, been waiting 3 years for this show and it’s finally happening! 🔥🤟🏻😈🤟🏻🔥

That song is my favorite on the album and to see you react to it when I love your reactions is just wonderful. I love it!

You should listen to the Rammstein song "Puppe". Its so heavy.... 😱

The return of colour was so powerful. I took the Black and White as a symbol of the polarisation of society. When Till destroys the TV the colour slowly returns to symbolise how there are more shades and areas where community can come togther even when they have differences of opionions on topics.

Thank you for sharing these reactions and your feelings. I very much appreciate it.

„Schwarzer Mann“ has two meanings here. On the one hand it is the bogeyman, the unknown fear that is conveyed to us from the outside via the media and propaganda. On the other hand, the unfounded fear of black men as foreigners is also meant. Love it!!

I agree. The double meaning is very strong, as is the nuclear family/cheerleader imagery, and I think it is as much a comment on the racial divide in the USA as it is about a 'boogyman' scaring children.

If you haven't reacted to Puppe yet then you really shoud check it out. Tills' vocals are very similar as in the end of this video!

Angst means fear... Rammstein are my boys from the very beginning

I’ve seen many of their shows since the late 90’s. Every time it’s a great show. When they play Feuer frei, no matter where I’m at I can feel the heat from the flames.

"Schwarzer Mann" is usually translated to Boogeyman, youre right about that, but in the context of the song and video its more likely a play on words, actually meaning "the black" man instead of the usual translation. Could also be a placeholder for every fear media wants us to be hyped up about.

Thank you for the great reaction video. Heard the album today and my personal Highlights are “Zeit”, “Zick Zack”, “Angst”, “Giftig”. But “Schwarz”, “Dicke Titten” and “OK” are good songs. Better than the last album but not as good as “Mutter” the best album so far in my opinion. It’s equal to “Reise, Reise” a great album too.

This is the first video I watch from you and I already love your reactions and the reflects you do in the meantime 😁. Rammstein are so good and I am a super big fan of their music!!

Stumbled upon your channel. Awesome videos. I watch them while doing cardio. And I see you’re a ghost ambassador! Will definitely start using your code!

I really love the new album! Nearly every song is a masterpiece. They experimented with new things and just did it right.

love Rammsteins New Album, this Song is so great! and you can perfectly see how America detoriated into madness and fear-mongering these last years, now people are shooting at kids for playing hide-and-seek or knocking on the wrong door by accident, its horrifying

i love that you are actually analyzing the Video, it deserves it. thanks for that, this has been really interesting for I understood it a little differently - nice to see a different point of view.

It's also my favorite of the 3 new songs I've listen (didn't hear the album for the moment) but lots of symbolism in this video as usual with Rammstein. They are very critical against the modern media, society and world but I need to rewatch the clip to find small details. The sound is also incredible, Till's voice goes in the same incredible range of the Puppe song on the previous album and it's so impressive when he sing with this voice. Can't wait to see them live for the first time this summer and I hope this song will be on the setlist. I hope you will continue to discover some of the old Rammstein's videos and songs, there's also a lot to think about it. From Europe, with love, thanks for your smile, keep the amazing content

You're certainly right when it comes to the origin of the word "schwarzer Mann" (German Boogeyman), but as this meaning was lost, many associate it with the literal color of the skin nowadays. That's the reason why the children's game of the same name (it’s basically playing catch) is not played anymore at schools (or at least not called this way). As this is common knowledge in Germany, Till used "schwarzer Mann" in his lyrics literally as part of his criticism towards narrow-minded people who are afraid of foreigners (or at least people who don't look caucasian). The video underlines the meaning of the lyrics. It becomes even clearer when you take into consideration what the band is actually eating in the video. At the end it's a sweet called "chocolate kiss" in Germany but it used to be called "n***o kiss". There was a whole debate about it if it's alright to say it or not while it was obviously always racist. I also think that they have so-called "Zigeuner (gipsy)-Schnitzel" on their plates. Also a word that isn't used anymore but it was the same debate as with the sweets at the end. All in all, the word "schwarzer Mann" was used deliberately by Till because it fits the narrative of the song.

Best song from the album and surely one of my favourites ever. Video is great aswell

This is Ramstein ! Lyrics and Video !!! best Band ever !!!

Rammstein are a COLOSSAL band: pure art, poetry, creativity, true and brutal. Love them from the beginning, love them till the end.

I love this entire album and I have been a fan since Herzeleid. What I got from this video and song is both the Bogeyman reference as a metaphor in this for Otherism, but also literally afraid of The Black Man, as well as leaning heavily into disdain for the working class (the chimney sweep reference to the Schwarzen Mann mentioned in another comment ). The cheerleaders seem to be the support for government and social propaganda, which as an American, rings very heavily here. Fear of the neighbor, the pushing of violence and isolationism, how they shoot their TV's and then it brings them to a hell-like space. I had to laugh when Till was propped up in front of a podium in a straight jacket by said cheerleaders, again as an American, and plugged into the propaganda machine. The refugee mother and child surrounded by razor wire watching Rammstein watching them and eating a sweet which had a very questionable name into the 00's in some areas. How, as Till destroys the method of delivery (the TV), the color progressively goes from b&w to technicolor to full color spectrum .. Every time I watch this, I see something new. Rammstein never fails to render me speechless.

Rammstein is only getting better, imo. Till's song writing as of the past album and this newest one has gone leaps and bounds over anything he's written previously. And the band's sound has become more intellectual and refined.

I like the chanting of "du" through-out the whole song. Implying that you are your own bogeymen at the end of the day.

Love your take on this song 😀 Been really enjoying this album.

Uma pena não ter legendas no vídeo. Sou brasileiro e não falo inglês... Gostei muito da forte mensagem que esta música carrega e realmente temos que nos atentarmos sobre essas questões. Sou neto de um alemão com uma afro brasileira e isso significa muito pra mim

A song about media propaganda through the internet and its effect This is another song into which everyone can interpret what they want. Some see it as a reference to the US (cheerleaders, typical US suburban middle class, in golf club dress, mowing the lawn, barbeque and quick unlimited access to guns. Some on internet conspiracy theorists. Some on Nazis, because of the colour scheme. Others to Orwell's 1984 because of the aesthetics of the video. Probably also a good metaphor for the conspiracy theme, everyone sees what they want to see. There are also allusions to racism, refugees from Africa and the Middle East, illegal immigration from South America, Trump, storming the Capitol, George Floyd, politically correct language and the ambiguous German term der Schwarze Mann (the black man) from the children's game. This term was originally coined from the Black Death the plague in Europe in the Middle Ages which one should not get too close to as a warning for one's life. To put it briefly with a famous Rammstein Song in this video: We're all living in America....so it's just the normal madness.

Wow! Love your reaction. I have similar feelings about the video and song and every time I watch the video it gets better. Rammstein is the best.

Beautiful. Just beautiful. As all of your reactions. Rammstein‘s Angst is a work of art.

Black man or bogey man? As a german, i think the intention is BOTH. Of course the bogeyman, but also picking up the fear of the Europeans from all that african refugees that may come to disturb us here in our fine, self-pleasing life with more than enough to eat, to drink, to amuse....so putting up more and more barricades, armor, even at last killing - maybe each other because of FEAR. Fear leads to violence....

I really appreciate that you took the time to review the lyrics before commenting. "Black Man" is easily misunderstood without knowing the meaning in german. It is what they are playing with. Easy to be misunderstood in the direct translation. Boogeyman is the direct translation. But coold be easily misunderstood as an race motivated meaning. I really look forward for your future reaction videos.

Your reaction and analysis is amazing! I love watching your Rammstein reaction videos! Much love from germany!

Loving your channel right now...this is one of my favourites on the album (AOTY for me so far)...everytime I watch this video I notice new things...the clip you describe is spot on and I also noticed the security camera's be put on in place also have red wires attached... highlighting the government is watching (boogyman) ☺️ keep up the great work...one of the best reaction channels I've come across... ☺️👍

Hallo Aileen, thanks for your Rammstein reactions. I am German and I think this song is about the fear of Europeans of refugees from Africa. This fear is driven by the media, news etc. Very interesting is the end scene. The members are eating sweets that had a racist meaning. in former times these things were called "Mohrenkopf" or "Negerkuss". So they are eating a black mans head while seeing people from Africa sitting in a camp, maybe after they have crossed the sea to come to Europe. Schwarzer Mann has a double meaning here (of course... it's Rammstein).

I think the thing most frightening about this video, is that it does not exclusively apply to germany. The right wing has got us frightened all over the world, and they're seizing power.

What an amazing and very insightful and detailed commentary for this video. I definitely share your feeling of bein very emotional after this song/video

I love that you love Rammstein! Frigging awesome, aren't they? Insanely talented and expressive and insightful, with a sound and visuals that can make a dead soul feel something. So good. And, you are an absolute doll.

Hey. Greetings from Germany and a big R fan. Your interpretation while hearing this for the first time is pretty good! I hope you will have a great time seeing them live. 🤘

Love your reviews Aileen! 😍 I'm also a fan of Rammstein, saw them 5-7 in Nijmegen, also the same experience, much emotions hearing their music 👍

One of Rammstein dopest tracks for sure every record they have dropped has been 🔥🔥🔥

I’ve listened to every song on every album they are by far my favourite band but this song in particular hits a spot none others do the meaning and interpretation is impeccably impeccable
