Lyrics of Rammstein song “Angst” and English translation

I think the lyrics are based on Martin Ney, the Germany “Black Man” serial killer and of course it’s mixed in with the angst of society in general.

From Martin Ney’s wiki: Between 1992 and 2004, Ney murdered three German boys and has been linked to the sexual abuse of 45 others. Ney wore a mask and dark clothing when committing the crimes, leading him to be known as the Masked Man or the Black Man. He carried out his offences in camps, private homes and school grounds.

Yep.

They’re calling out people insisting something is evil because the internet tells them it is.

Racist blue left wing non germans keep translating der schwarze Mann as black man and insisting racism and refusing to accept that what rhe bogeyman is called there and has been before they had ever seen an African

‘Red means this red means thatched is a colour theme. The entire band is connected to computers and controlled by a man in a straight jacket with brainless crippled cheerleaders cheering it on telling everyone to hate what the newspaper and media tell you to hate, and the newspaper tells you yo hate who you believe is right wing/red/nazi.

That’s you people. Rammstein is accurately depicted brain-dead racist the sky is falling left wingwrs who regurgitate what they read without thought.

I believe it’s a representation of the division of Rammstein in the video. White picket fences that separate Rammstein members. The fences turn into walls with barbed wire fence around it. If you saw the walls and fence from above it would look like that circle. With the center circle being the hate and media they consume. The TV’s and computer they use are in the circle. Red is the predominate color in the video besides black and white. Red was the color Nazi’s used. Republicans in the US.
Other countries with Red? China, former Soviet Union (now Russia), Denmark, Switzerland, and worst of all, Canada.

As on the 2023 live tour, the introduction ‘lyrics’ are simply sounds, shown on screen as “huh”

The cheerleaders are limping and only stepping forward with their right foot. That may be an over-analysis on my part, it may be intentional by the band. Right foot = right wing. Very similar to the effect of “dann schlägt es links.”

Very cleverly they use German to English translation for wordplay. “Schwarzen Mann” translating to bogeyman in this context, but a literal translation is “black man.” At the surface it’s a song about the fear of the unknown. A deeper dive and it’s commentary on racism and putting up walls within society. The video spells this out so blatantly. Zombie cheerleaders bringing guns, there are literal brick walls replacing picket fences, a black woman and her child in rags surrounded by barbed wire. An insane person speaking from a podium. The video starts with the band sitting at a table with plates — eating what is fed to them.
