Rammstein Halt lyrics with English translation

Indeed, one of the best (if not THE best) on there. It’s a shame it was relegated to the bonus disc – it could easily have replaced B******** and may have been played live.

I love almost all the songs on this CD, but this I think is by far my favorite. Great music, poetic lyrics (as always), and a showcase for Till’s amazing, thundering voice… quite a powerful song. Saw them in Quebec in July (unbelievable experience), and hope they return for a North American tour soon. Wish they’d perform this song too though.

This song, and/or Fuhre Mich should have replaced Pussy. It’s one of those songs by Rammstein that piss me off. Seriously, they need to go out of their way to cause controversy. Can you try to NOT do something like that Till?
Not only that, but this song is better anyways. In fact, it’s awesome.

Another great example of Rammstein’s amazing lyrics. This song reminds me of my own phobias of crowds and loud/sudden noises, so I feel like I can really relate to this, even though I know it’s not about that at all.
Amazing song. I love the power of Till’s voice when he screams “HALT!”

Thank you for uploading these lyrics – I’m decent at German, but I had trouble understanding 2nd verse.

It has to be about someone who is tormented by bullies then shoots the tormentors and himself.

Anyways, great song, I love the beggining were the sound is a bit vague but goes off into a hardcore beat. My favourite line in the song is when he sings…

“HALT! Bliebt Stehen!!”

I would just like to add a Gaia interpretation, as well. The lyrics could definitely come from the perspective of a personified earth with all of us little lice humans tormenting her/him with our beating hearts and ever increasing numbers. I like to think of this via Final Fantasy VII. Get ready for WEAPON. ;D

I love all there songs, and this is a good one. It even brings up a point that none of the schools do anything about. The school system is blind to bullying unless you have connections, have money, you’re popular, or you have a parent working at the school. Its sad but i see it everyday, disgusting somewhat.

In Weisses Fleisch, Till explored the mind of a schoolyard psychopath — the kind who stands quietly in the shadows and stares unblinking as you pass by, picks up a stray cat on the way home from school and tortures it to death, forces himself on little girls.

In Halt, I think, he is exploring the mind of a different kind of schoolyard sociopath — one whose psychosis was triggered by bullying and torment rather than a genetic predisposition.

I read somewhere that this song is about Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold (Columbine shooters) is it true?
cuz it sounds like it could be about them.
I know they loved Rammstein, or one of them did. just wondering 🙂

Wow….
Of course, I’m the only one who thinks this because I’m such a hippie 🙂

I happen to think of this song as in nature….I guess sort of like an animal’s point of view, like the bullying part to be part of how humans do whatever they want with them.

Although I’m not disagreeing with anyone’s ideas, it is just what I think.

Adios!

No one tortures me for fun,
Into your hearts I’ll let the sun,
My choice was an easy one,
I’m going to go home and get my gun

it just came to my mind 😀

to me this seems like a racial thing…. if you look at it the narrator could be German itself

no, hyde. he killed the man because of the mans fake or dead(blind) eye. the heartbeat was a side effect of his ‘disease’ and it tormented him after the man died. he could not stand the heartbeat so he ripped up the floorboards to show the police where the body was.

And have you even read the novel? The one in it killed the old man because he couldn’t withstand beating of his heart, and Till sings “Ich kann es nicht, nicht ertragen!”. That’s just one connection, and I believe there are surely more of them between these two compositons, so many more that it’s highly unlikely to be just a random..

I don’t think this song has anything to do with Poe. The only similar theme is the heart which I think Till uses this to say that he is offended that these people are even allowed to live rather than a guilty conscience. I think this is my favorite song on the album.
