Buy Rammstein song “Führe mich” on Amazon
| Du bist mir ans Herz gewachsen | You have grown in my heart |
| Wenn ich blute hast du Schmerzen | When I bleed you have pains |
| Wir müssen uns kennen | We must know ourselves |
| Ein Körper, zwei Namen | One body, two names |
| Nichts kann uns trennen | Nothing can disunite us |
| Ein Zweilaib im Samen | A twinbody in semen |
| Wenn du weinst, geht es mir gut | If you cry, it’s okay with me |
| Die Hand deiner Angst, füttert mein Blut | The hand of your fear, feeds my blood |
| Führe mich, halte mich | Lead me, hold me |
| Ich fühle dich, ich verlass Dich nicht | I feel you, I won’t abandon you |
| Du bist mir ans Herz gebaut | You are constructed at my heart |
| Zwei Seelen spannen eine Haut | Two souls span one skin |
| Und wenn ich rede bist du still | And when I speak you are silent |
| Du stirbst wenn ich es will | You die when I want |
| Wenn du weinst schenke ich dir | When you cry, I give to you |
| Kinder der Angst, Tränen von mir | Children of fear, tears from me |
| Führe mich, halte mich | Lead me, hold me |
| Ich fühle dich, ich verlass Dich nicht | I feel you, I won’t abandon you |
| Zwei Bilder nur ein Rahmen | Two pictures, only one frame |
| Ein Körper doch zwei Namen | One body, yet two names |
| Zwei Dochte eine Kerze | Two wicks, one candle |
| Zwei Seelen in einem Herzen | Two souls in one heart |
| Führe mich, halte mich | Lead me, hold me |
| Ich führe dich, ich verlass Dich nicht | I lead you, I won’t abandon you |

I hear clear BDSM references in the text. The same in “Ich tut dir Weh”. (And lots more lyrics)…
My German is not that strong, sice its 30 years since school where I thankfully chose it over French (for 5 years). So my interpretations could be more what spills the heart
While every single Rammstein song seems to have hidden metaphors of several kinds and the lyrics are to be interpreted solely by the listeners themselves, based on the lyrics,
“Wir müssen uns kennen
Ein Körper, zwei Namen”
I believe that the lyrics are constructed surrounding the idea of one being intact with different personas of oneself.
“Und wenn ich rede bist du still
Du stirbst wenn ich es will”
These lyrics could describe the event in which one speaks, though, anything they say is being lubricated, while their inner dialogue doesn’t make a sound, thus, creating the illusion of an inner demon being restricted, or simply inner thoughts being restrained from being spoken. These lyrics could describe anyone ranging from split personalities to psychopaths.
There are number of metaphors that could be overseen within this song which is why it never fails to remain in my top 5 favorite songs by Rammstein.
Always had the feeling that this song and Ich Tu Dir Weh are actually about the on stage persona vs real life Till. But hey, there are always a million different ways you can interpret Rammstein lyrics.
i reckon it’s a song about the human conscious, and it referrers to the mental tug of war that goes on in the head of a person torn between their morality, and hedonistic desires, like the the god and the devil, good and evil, the frontal lobe and the amygdala, whatever you want to call it.
I first heard it in Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac and since then it’s
been strongly associated with this movie, that’s why the lyrics have
completely different meaning to me 🙂 I prefer the movie version of this
song, where Till sings Nymphomaniac in the chorus.
i thought this song is about the Führer Hitler
I’m fairly confident that this is about someone with split personalities, someone who has two sides to him like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or possibly someone battling addiction.
“Und wenn ich rede bist du still”
This line in particular shows that only one of the two is in control at a time (the dominant personality/state).
“Zwei Bilder nur ein Rahmen
Ein Körper doch zwei Namen
Zwei Dochte eine Kerze
Zwei Seelen in einem Herzen”
This continues the theme of two objects existing in one containing entity, rather than one object being composed of two distinct entities. If the lyrics were about a relationship between two different physical bodies the opposite would be true (e.g. “one soul, two bodies”).
my interpretation from “Halt” ;
it is not to siamese twins but it treats schizophrenia
Good additionally take in the movie “Fight Club” at suffering schizophrenia Edward Norton and Brad Pitt as its other ego Tyler Durdon
thats awesome, i think this fascinator lyrics try to tell us about conscious and unconscious
I think it’s about leading a double life. There’s two parts to you, and one is dominant and wins in the end.
I think it might be interesting to mention that the song has been featured in Lars von Trier’s movie Nymphomaniac. Therefore it might be connected to the relationship between our consciousness and our basic instincts, ego and id.
