Rammstein Führe mich lyrics with English translation

did anyone else think pregnancy and possible abortion? i mean, i quickly glanced thru the comments and saw one or two.

i thought of pregnancy with these lyrics:

“You are constructed at my heart
Two souls span one skin
And when I speak you are silent”

with some violent exceptions i won’t mention, when you have sex, part of your heart is in it, your emotions. whether it be love or lust, your emotions are definitely in it. Two souls could be two different people on “one skin” ? obvious. “One body two names” = the woman carrying the child and has picked out a name for it.

i thought abortion or miscarriage when i read “When I bleed you have pains” and “You die when I want.”

just my interpretation. 🙂

Nothing to do with sadomasochism in my humble opinion.

I think this song is written in first person as a woman may experience love. For those who like references, see “the woman in love” chapter in The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir. (Although written in 1949, filled to the brim with generalizations and not PC at all, still contains many truths and worthwhile reading.)

This song seems to refer to the Ego(consiousnence) communicating to the Id(animal instincts). Till says that one shutsd up when I speak, this seems to mean that the Id is quiet when the Ego is active. These are all traits of humans and we have both the Id and the Ego within us.

-thats my input.

RAMMSTEIN

Not a problem, would work except for the reference to the double helix of the dna strand in the first verse “twinbody in semen”. Ooh! Does our conscience come from our dna?My experience of prejudice has been that it only exists as a way to hold onto mates. Our evil relates to our ability to reproduce; thus our conscience as well. I think it is a possibility:) We fans our hilarious, this is a SONG; we are the one’s who give these deeper meanings to it. Hell, it could refer to how hate and love fill our hearts and love kills hate when we feel it,etc. So? The song is a beautiful masterpiece with layers of meaning to the one who listens, that is why it’s a masterpiece.

Can it be our conscience? We can’t abandon it, but still it’s silent when we speak and sometimes we let it to lead us.

i meant-the process of becoming one. (not: the “proces of unity”) Sorry

i would agree with cinamon revenge. There seems to be two persons involved, one dominating, the other submissive. This explains the change from Wenn du weinst, geht es mir gut
Die Hand deiner Angst, füttert mein Blut to Wenn du weinst schenke ich dir Kinder der Angst, Tränen von mir. All the “biologicalW references seem to metaphorically allude to a loss of personal integrity. This just makes the metaphor much, much stronger. Regarding the “seemen” refrence, it doesn’t contradict this since it simply refers to the proces of unity, and loss of identity. Anyway, the song is great. We can all agree on that one

Over the past few weeks, I’ve turned my girlfriend into a Rammstein fan. I played the song for her and showed her the translation of the lyrics, she likes the song a ton. Her view is the song is about a baby or child. The “two names one body, two souls one heart, two pictures one fram, two wicks one candle” represent the parents’ contributions to making the child.

Yeah, DarkFairy003, I think it’s as simple as that.

My favourite song on the album, after Wiener Blut.

I thought this song was about when to people have sex they are “one” 🙂

@RAMMSPIELER
“Also, they must be twins because they are a “twinbody in semen”, suggesting they are in the same womb, with the same father.”

& RAMMKRIEG:
“Ein Zweilaib im Samen” Joined by semen… Hense, the same person, if this song was about split personality that reference wouldn’t be necessary.

– I disagree, don’t you know what an allegory is? It’s just a figurative expression… don’t take it literally.

I guess no one read the links of Erich Fromm’s book I posted before, so I’ll retell it quick (sorry for grammatical mistakes or bad expression, English is not my mother tongue)

I think the song is about this:

SYMBIOTIC UNION

biological union: Mother-Child – they’re two, yet one; they need each other.
psychological union: the bodies are independent, but they depend on each other psychically.

PASSIVE FORM OF THE SYMBIOTIC UNION = masochism; the masochist escapes the unbearable feeling of isolation by attaching himself, and making himself part of another person, that is leading and protecting him, that is so to speak his life, and without that person he can’t live. The masochist is nothing but a part of the person that he is submitting himself to. That way he becomes a part of the person’s greatness, might and security. The masochist is taking no decisions, he is never alone and never independent.

ACTIVE FORM OF THE SYMBIOTIC UNION = sadism; control of another person. The sadist escapes his loneliness by attaching another person. The sadist is dependent on the person who is worshiping him, the same like that person is dependent of the sadist; They can’t live without each other.
The only difference is that the sadist is commanding, using and humiliating the masochist, while the masochist is letting himself be commanded, used and humiliated.

– Both forms are unions without independence and integrity.

“Ein Zweilaib im Samen” Joined by semen… Hense, the same person, if this song was about split personality that reference wouldn’t be necessary.

“Du bist mir ans Herz gebaut
Zwei Seelen spannen eine Haut”
Two souls span one skin. Two people in one body, that’s what confuses people, but if you refer to the reference I just made above, Rammstein seems to be alluding more in a physical sense than a metaphorical one, you can’t really make a metaphor out of the word “semen”.

“Two pictures, only one frame
One body, yet two names”
Two people in one frame, that’s a dead giveaway. This songs about simese twins, not split personalities. If it were about split personalities, there’d be more metaphorical references rather than blatantly saying things like “joined at the heart, joined by semen, etc”.

@Udeeksh: Definitely Till.
@Kazzandra: Excellent idea – it sounds like one twin is trying to keep the other alive, and states that the other has ‘grown inside’ him. I think that’s another likely explanation.
@Rammstein7: True, R+ often aren’t obvious, although alot of songs on this album are: Rammlied – a tribute to themselves, Wiener Blut – the Fritzl case, Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da – inrequitted love, rape. Also, they must be twins because they are a “twinbody in semen”, suggesting they are in the same womb, with the same father.

Siamese twins partially makes sense, however: Du bist mir ans Herz gebaut\You are constructed at my heart. This means that the thing he is talking about isn’t a physical being. Based on this line, I’d go with the split personality… Let’s not also forget that siamese twins is too obvious: That is NOT how Rammstein work….

The song reminds me of these words by Milan Kundera:

Love is a desire for that lost half of ourselves.
