I've read that Rammstein was asked whether this is a goodbye of the band and they answered that this is not their intention and they don't have plans to end up with their music. The whole album - which has a kind of melancholic touch (even in the funny tracks) - was made under the impression of personal losses of the band members. In this context, lyric-wise "Adieu" looks to me as the feeling of a lost fight against death ... not of the own death, but of loved ones ... and to finally accept that there is nothing to stop it. A kind of sad acceptance of the inevitable. Video-wise they are referencing to the time when they had produced their album "Mutter" and almost parted and had to reinvend themselves - which they did fortunately. And there are a lot of references to other movies, e.g. Joker, Matrix, Immortals.
Trotz aller Kontroversen eine großartige Band und wohl unser musikalisches Metal-Aushängeschild weltweit. Wo immer ich hinkomme und als deutscher Metal-Fan erkennbar bin, werde ich auf Rammstein angesprochen. Eine Französin hat mir gesagt, sie hat unter anderem mit deren Songtexten deutsch gelernt, na ja😅 und mein bulgarischer Kumpel liebt deren Deutschland-Lied. Das ist für mich mit dem Video eh das absolute Meisterwerk. Adieu ist ideal, um deren Konzert zu beenden.
Masterpiece of Art
The men in the the glass casks are Rammstein from 2010, this is a goodbye to the "old" Rammstein, the clues are everywhere to be seen.

The video was filmed at the Paris Opera House🤘🤘
