I think this song is amazing and I love the lyrics to all their songs. For a song about masturbation the lyrics are incredibly powerful and amazing.

It sure is a song about masturbation, and a good one at that. I think any guy or woman for that matter can relate to the events in the song. How you notice a person that “arouse” you and how you “lock” her/him in your imagination (as the lyrics put it), where he/she becomes a willing subject (no resistance) and you well, play it all out in your mind. It also refers to that not all our sexual thoughts are kosher, where sometimes we can be rough and hard (even borderline rapist) and also how masturbation is a double-edged sword which is not always a fulfilling event, but can be an act of frustration and anger. Relationships can be hard to be in, and also hard to get. But in our imaginations we are führers of our own life and not least the opposite sex.

I like the song alot, and think it’s lyrically one of the strongest on the album. Whilst Pussy is a tongue-in-cheek song about sex as a commodity and a stab at american prejudices against germans (and other europeans) this is far more poignant and does not rely on shock tactics and humour. Rammstein at their best, imho.

Its only in his imagination that she doesn’t defend herself. Since she continues crying, he figures that her eyes need to be closed, thus making her willing, since it worked for him. So, in the story, the man is of the opinion that in order to have sex, he must seem friendly and proper (speak well and be friendly). The sun is his own personal light that he shows upon the bodies, and the sun makes these bodies glisten with help of the warm water, which is warm due to the sun’s heat.

There is one thing I don’t understand: when this song, and this one only, leaked on the internet (as far as I can remember, it happened in July) there was a big fuss and everybody was mad at everyone. But now, when the whole album is available through torrents, rapid share etc. no one says a word…

“The water theme is all through out Feuer and Wasser as is the singer’s apparent feelings of rejection and inferiority. He is in this girl’s shadow so all he can do is clumsily reach out and grab for her with wet hands. In liebe, he’s still watching a woman, or women in the water, still feeling isolated, inferior, unlovable, but this time instead of just impotently reaching out as the object of his desire slides past, he takes matters into his own hands and “makes” her love him.”

Just a short note with that explanation. Water when used as a theme refers to deception. For example think of a spear fisher trying to catch a fish and the fish isn’t really where it is looking at it through the water.

What I’m getting at here is water is both being used as some sort of separation, but also it is being used as deception, which can be seen in the song Hafisch. But water is definitely being used as a reoccurring theme throughout the entire album, or more so deception and seclusion.

Warmes Wasser
Schöne Leiber
Wie sie glänzen

This is suggesting that for someone who has been so love deprived, the water is being the theme of deception. Where the women are in the water, and “shining, or glimmering” which is making them beautiful. However this is not the case. The person seeing the women is so love deprived that he actually is clinging on to these women for the fact they are women.

Thats a short example of what i mean with reference to the lyrics. It re-occurs throughout the song and i could give a full explanation if you don’t quite understand what i mean, but i think that example should suffice.

Dude, on the meaning, the marraige part, totally know what that’s like. You really try to keep that person any way you can; even masturbating to the idea of being with them when they really don’t want you that way. Some things are just not meant to be.

It’s not all about masturbation. The beginning of the song is the real event that leads to masturbation.

I know the direct translation of “Liebe ist für alle da” is “There is love for everyone,” but can this mean something else? Does it have a double meaning?

I love the explanation at the bottom of the translation! A true,true fan I must say!

This song is about masturbation..

in the sentence: who wants to fuck has to be kind, kind is not the proper word… Till says muss freundlich sein that means he should be friendly

Ich sperr sie ein in meine Fantasie Actually means “I confine/jail/cage/lock her (up) in my Fantasy. Einsperren is the actual verb, but Till doesn’t place the separable prefix “ein” at the end of the sentence where it should go.

Grammatically, the sentence ought to read “Ich sperr sie in meine Fantasie ein,” but he’s taking artistic liberty with the lyrics.

And “Formen” does mean form, but here it would mean something along the lines of “shape” or “contour” (talking about a woman’s body).

German isn’t the easiest language to translate into English. I’ve done a lot of German to English lyric translations before and it can get tricky, especially when you don’t know what the lyricist was thinking at the time!

ooh on my 1st post i meant
Shouldn’t IT be She doesn’t protect herself

and
i think Und rede fein should be And talking fine instead of And talks fine

She doesn’t protects herself
Shouldn’t be She doesn’t protect herself
