It's (of course) subject to individual interpretation, but I always thought of the crosses and the dead as a metaphor for extinguished relationships. If love is a war, there is always someone who dies at some point. In my opinion, that's why he used the second person plural in the lyrics - he adresses the ones who are at "war" now, the ones who are in a relationship right now. And I would also guess the lyrical subject is someone who was left behind in a relationship, "talking" to his old flame and the new lover. That's pretty much on point with the theme of the whole album ("Herzeleid" = "heartache"). In the lyrics of the title song it says: "Save each other from heartache For the the time that you are together is short For even when you are one for many years Once it'll seem like minutes to you." According to an interview with Richard at loudersound, both he and Till went through hard breakups at the time. All band members were kinda frustrated (early '90s, they all came from the GDR which was no more, high unemployment rates in the area of the old GDR and all of a sudden everything you have been socialized with was worth nothing), so this is something that might have contributed to the classic Rammstein-style and the lyrics. At a time where kitschy schlager music was played all over the place and literally every evening in the german TV, I always saw Rammstein's love songs as some kind of dark parody. And "Herzeleid" is full of all types of perversions of love. This really was quite scandalous at the time.
This song, and the song 'Du riechst so gut' were Rammsteins first Hits in germany in around 1995, from the Album Herzeleid. It was also the first song i ever heard from them, and it was a musical style i never heard before, being hooked from second one. Tip: If you ever need to walk somewhere, and get there fast, put Rammstein on some headphones and start walking.
I went to this tour. This was the second song they performed. They were not messing around with this production! It was a greatest hits tour not just in terms of the tracks but also all of the pyrotechnics they'd used across the years. I'll be seeing them again in two days!
Well done ! I am very impressed by your channel here. I have been a Rammstein fan since the late 90's, and I am finally getting to see them live at Gillette Stadium here in Mass. on 9-9...soooo excited ! And so very pleased to see someone as mesmerized by these guys as I am...Enjoy the journey dear...
Best explanation what they want comes from Paul: "Boys just want to have fun". The original comes from Cyndi Lauper, but it explains everything Rammstein does. And they follow german goals: If you do something, make it perfect.
Usually I don’t like it that much when reactors don‘t say anything during the video but your facial expressions during the video say more than most words can say. Loved this reaction. Hope you do more Rammstein. 😊👍 Edit: I just watched all your Rammstein reactions and I love the way you react to them. 🫶
One of my favorite songs! I sooo wish you were here in California...I have an extra Rammstein ticket for Sept, would love to take you to see them live!
Flake is such an adorable and humble character. Check out his little live performance ua-cam.com/video/pKqZIM7VSZo/v-deo.html He doesn't speak any english at all, but he tries his best :)
Dear Pandora Plays, your reaction to all Rammstein videos is unique and I would like to recommend a song to you. The song is called jump. Thank you and best regards
Are you kidding me? You'r doing every think of Ayreon, Epica and Rammstein. You Just made my day. These bands are so versitale. From beautyfull Balads to heavy metal. I'm going tot enjoy this journey with you.
Hello from germany 🙂 your reactions to rammstein are wonderful! you should check out this song from the same concert in paris: Rammstein: Paris - Mann gegen Mann ( Official Video ) all the songs at this concert in paris are absolutely great ! I send you greetings from germany 🙃
When applicable, i recommend doing the live versions of the early stuff from the Live Aus Berlin 1998 show or Völkerball. I got all the Live Aus Berlin songs on my channel( shameful self plug 😅) but for Seemann I recommend the 100 Jahre performance from 1996 , which has a 4k version on here. It is there 100th show as a band so you'll get see their humble beginnings. For the song "Rammstein" there is a 4k version on here from the Live Aus Berlin 1998 show. "Asche Zu Asche" and "Du Riechst So Gut" is best from Volkerball same with "Sehnsucht"
Yeah. There's a full concert from Arenes de Nimes (Volkerball) that was recently unblocked on youtube. In my opinion it's their absolute peak and so worth watching. Would love to see some reactions to that. ua-cam.com/video/bdOAQjVBA1A/v-deo.html&ab_channel=magicians
@@Black3142 long video like that dont do well on views for reactions. Best doing individual songs from it. Plus it allows for better focus and discussion on individual songs
Hallo ReaktionLady , i have a question : What is the "DOUBLEmeaning" ,the deeperMeaning of the Song "DickeTitten" ,because you telling us every song has it
Many felt that it was about having everything you desire (in this case beautiful women) right there around you, but not always being able to see it (as Till was playing a man suffering of blindness). ❤️
@@PandoraPlaysMusic Nein , da ist alles klar hörbar und ersichtlich , aber da ist etwas im Video ... "deeper" und zwar im Keller : Die Anspielung an ein Film : Das Schweigen der Lämmer (Warum schreibe ich das auf deutsch? ... es ist die Sprache mit dem tieferen Sinn 🤗
Here are some background Flake infos: ua-cam.com/video/EelKmkyEqMk/v-deo.html - the history of two musicians that dont know themselves to this point, one of them being Flake. use youtubes autotranslate, to get an idea what they are talking about.

Thank you so much!
This is the first song on the first album. In this song, Rammstein simply introduces themselves and their music to the listeners.
And they end the album the same way to with their name 👍
And what an introduction this is!
while i agree on this interpretation I have to say that this still is just one interpretation. Could have more meanings than that.
@@Masi154 or less. who knows
Best band ever, just go watch them live, they will melt your brain
You’re one of the best reactors. You’re very genuine, observant and obviously moved by the works and artists you evaluate. Keep up the good work. 👍😄😎
Agreed!
One of my favorite songs by rammstein!
Flake is such a humble guy. He says sentences like "I thought, well we are rock stars now, I should wear sunglasses".
This song, and the song 'Du riechst so gut' were Rammsteins first Hits in germany in around 1995, from the Album Herzeleid. It was also the first song i ever heard from them, and it was a musical style i never heard before, being hooked from second one.

Another awesome Rammstein reaction from you, thanks 🙏
You're Rammdicted. It's different from addiction because addiction can be cured ❤️🔥

bin begeistert von dir, wie du mit den Songs deine ganzen Gefühle zeigst. Grüsse aus Munich.
Me fascina bastante tus reacciones y mas sobre una de mis bandas favoritas, saludos desde Bolivia 🇧🇴 estaria encantado con un saludo tuyo 😁😄😅
