Was macht ein Mann was macht ein Mann der zwischen Mensch und Tier nicht unterscheiden kann was Er wird zu seiner Tochter gehen sie ist schön und jung an Jahren und dann wird er wie ein Hund mit eigen Fleisch und Blut sich paaren Was tust du Was fühlst du Was bist du doch nur ein Tier Was macht die Frau was macht die Frau die zwischen Tier und Mann nicht unterscheiden kann Sie taucht die Feder in sein Blut schreibt sich selber einen Brief entseelte Zeilen an die Kindheit als der Vater bei ihr schlief Was tust du Was fühlst du Was bist du doch nur ein Tier |
What does a man do what does a man do who can't tell the difference between human and animal what He will go to his daughter she is beautiful and young and then, like a dog, will mate with his own flesh and blood What do you do What do you feel What are you but only a Animal What does a woman do what does a woman do who can't tell the difference between animal and man She dips the feather in his blood and write herself a letter lifeless lines to childhood when her father slept by her What do you do What do you feel What are you but only a Animal |
This song is about paedophiliac incest. The lyrics say of the father, “You are just an animal.” The daughter eventually kills the father and writes her story in his blood.
I liked it better when I didn’t understand the lyrics. Now I’m sad
Yeah, I feel that. Same with “Spring”.
I have a feeling that in a way it also means all humans…we shouldnt forget that we are all first an animal and then 2nd to that we are human(a type of animal)
memorized this song
This song is more healing for abused children than years of therapy ever could.
…Was macht die Frau
was macht die Frau
die zwischen Tier und Mann
nicht unterscheiden kann…
On the one hand, that father deserved what he got. On the other, being profaned and broken since the childhood, she also becomes a beast, commiting a parricide after all.
And that is where the drama always is, one thing always leads to another, evil brings just evil. I like this dramatic (in a good meaning) art about Rammstein, majority of bands are very far from it.
Just a correction:
“Was macht DIE Frau” should be translated “What does THE woman do”
“Was macht EINE Frau” = “What does A woman do”
Shouldn’t it be “Was macht die Mädchen” or “Was Macht eine Mädchen”
Since “ Mädchen” means girl?
@Aubrei –
Till has never been averse to writing about controversial topics, often because (as revealed in an interview), for some of the harder guitar riffs Richard and Paul come up with, he “can’t really think of anything else.”
I also love the poetic justice that, if it can’t come about in reality, can come true in artwork such as these song lyrics. This man — an insult to the name of father — sexually gratifies himself through the abuse of his own daughter. Said daughter later rids the world of this pitiful being, then writes about the whole thing… using her “father”‘s blood as ink.
Um…the song make since on many different levels but I dont understand Till write something like this since he has two daugters of his own
For guys rape is just a subject matter for a song. They do not understand what a horrific experience it is for victims of such acts
“[Guys] do not understand what a horrific experience it is [rape] for victims of such acts.”
Yeah? And how would YOU personally know that *for a fact* exactly, or in fact you just pulled that claim out of your ass? You think “guys” don’t get raped and abused too? What do you know about their experience with rape and “understanding” of such a thing? Do you even care at all?
What a narcissist. This is typical solipsism at its finest also, because nothing exists nor matters outside your own experience (or the experience of your particular gender, for that matter) so no one but you could possibly understand “such acts”, let alone write a song about it, God forbid.
Jonathan Davis, the singer of a little band you might have heard of called Korn, wrote a song called Daddy. I’ll let you do the math, see if that helps you be more human.
And Rammstein might not have first-hand experience of rape themselves (I hope not!), but that doesn’t mean they can’t write a song about it. Artistic freedom, anyone?
So in my humble opinion, your opinion it’s an stupid, especially callous, misinformed, self-serving, and invalid one.
Yah, I just noticed today that there was a Rammstein song on the Savage Nation, but I couldn’t for the life of me remember which one despite how much R+ I listen to. I had to go home and figure it out. XD
this sng is on the savage nation if anyone listens to the intro
I really appreciate the art of the lyrics…it is addictive and I enjoy the passion in the music
THIS SONG IS COOL!!! i thought it might have something like this in the english lyrics
It is better for me not to understand the meaning of the song.
I love this song. I love turn up the music and play along with the drums!
you miss-spelt beast (if that was what you were trying to say) in the main lyrics menu for this song, it says biest
