This song has definitively dark lyrics. The negative vibes regarding to strangers first increase very slightly, then right before the "Hasselhoff" scene, it becomes more and more aggressive. "This is my land, my wave, my beach ... here is no space/place left (for you) ..." In the night scene it culminates in a "piss off" kind of message. The whole song reflects and exposes xenophobic tendencies. Parts of the phrases in the lyrics are taken from common xenophobic arguments ... that are not limited to the USA but that you can hear in many (if not all) rich countries (including Germany of course). Maybe the daylight scenes should show how those people see themselves and the night scene shows (them) how they really look like. It is a bit like the song Amerika (but harsher). First: Oh yes, that's me. Then: Oh no, is that really me? (Or: Is that really what people think of me?) By the way: The inspiration for this song was that Till - while surfing on a beach between two concerts in the US - was told by some local surfers (after they recognized that he speaks German) that it is their land, their beach, their waves and he as a stranger should piss off.
I'd not thought of that. Does that great thing that Rammstein have perfected which is delivering strong messaging behind the more ridiculous/funny facade. Stealthily expanded peoples thought processes. Love it.

might be about xenophobia. looking for a place to call home, but everywhere is somebody else's land
