It's (of course) subject to individual interpretation, but I always thought of the crosses and the dead as a metaphor for extinguished relationships. If love is a war, there is always someone who dies at some point. In my opinion, that's why he used the second person plural in the lyrics - he adresses the ones who are at "war" now, the ones who are in a relationship right now. And I would also guess the lyrical subject is someone who was left behind in a relationship, "talking" to his old flame and the new lover. That's pretty much on point with the theme of the whole album ("Herzeleid" = "heartache"). In the lyrics of the title song it says: "Save each other from heartache For the the time that you are together is short For even when you are one for many years Once it'll seem like minutes to you." According to an interview with Richard at loudersound, both he and Till went through hard breakups at the time. All band members were kinda frustrated (early '90s, they all came from the GDR which was no more, high unemployment rates in the area of the old GDR and all of a sudden everything you have been socialized with was worth nothing), so this is something that might have contributed to the classic Rammstein-style and the lyrics. At a time where kitschy schlager music was played all over the place and literally every evening in the german TV, I always saw Rammstein's love songs as some kind of dark parody. And "Herzeleid" is full of all types of perversions of love. This really was quite scandalous at the time.

Thank you so much!

This is the first song on the first album. In this song, Rammstein simply introduces themselves and their music to the listeners.

You’re one of the best reactors. You’re very genuine, observant and obviously moved by the works and artists you evaluate. Keep up the good work. 👍😄😎

Agreed!

Flake is such a humble guy. He says sentences like "I thought, well we are rock stars now, I should wear sunglasses".

You're Rammdicted. It's different from addiction because addiction can be cured ❤️‍🔥

This song, and the song 'Du riechst so gut' were Rammsteins first Hits in germany in around 1995, from the Album Herzeleid. It was also the first song i ever heard from them, and it was a musical style i never heard before, being hooked from second one. Tip: If you ever need to walk somewhere, and get there fast, put Rammstein on some headphones and start walking.

Another awesome Rammstein reaction from you, thanks 🙏

Me fascina bastante tus reacciones y mas sobre una de mis bandas favoritas, saludos desde Bolivia 🇧🇴 estaria encantado con un saludo tuyo 😁😄😅

I went to this tour. This was the second song they performed. They were not messing around with this production! It was a greatest hits tour not just in terms of the tracks but also all of the pyrotechnics they'd used across the years. I'll be seeing them again in two days!

seeing rammstein for the 5th time in a month - GOAT live bands🤘🤘

bin begeistert von dir, wie du mit den Songs deine ganzen Gefühle zeigst. Grüsse aus Munich.

Well done ! I am very impressed by your channel here. I have been a Rammstein fan since the late 90's, and I am finally getting to see them live at Gillette Stadium here in Mass. on 9-9...soooo excited ! And so very pleased to see someone as mesmerized by these guys as I am...Enjoy the journey dear...

Usually I don’t like it that much when reactors don‘t say anything during the video but your facial expressions during the video say more than most words can say. Loved this reaction. Hope you do more Rammstein. 😊👍 Edit: I just watched all your Rammstein reactions and I love the way you react to them. 🫶

Best explanation what they want comes from Paul: "Boys just want to have fun". The original comes from Cyndi Lauper, but it explains everything Rammstein does. And they follow german goals: If you do something, make it perfect.

One of my favorite songs! I sooo wish you were here in California...I have an extra Rammstein ticket for Sept, would love to take you to see them live!

Hello Pandora. One of my favorites at the moment.. Rammstein feat. Sharleen spiteri - Don't Die Before Me. Maybe you like the song.

Please react to Klavier. There's no official video but there is a recording from Berlin which is awesome.

Hello Pandora

👍😍🤘

When applicable, i recommend doing the live versions of the early stuff from the Live Aus Berlin 1998 show or Völkerball. I got all the Live Aus Berlin songs on my channel( shameful self plug 😅) but for Seemann I recommend the 100 Jahre performance from 1996 , which has a 4k version on here. It is there 100th show as a band so you'll get see their humble beginnings. For the song "Rammstein" there is a 4k version on here from the Live Aus Berlin 1998 show. "Asche Zu Asche" and "Du Riechst So Gut" is best from Volkerball same with "Sehnsucht"
