Rammstein with that track "killed" their past and said goodbye to people and situations from their past .. Being bound to what the crowd wanted,the chains and the bolts Everything in the song has multiple meanings One of my tops by far ❤
One interpretation is that the band kills its past ("Mutter" album and before), frees itself from the musical chains from their older times. They don't want to be clones doomed to repeat themselves - one needs to evolve to grow. The outro shows what happen if you don't succeed ... But with Rammstein you never know (btw the outro is a piano remix of "Zeit")
My interpretation is that they dont want / or need to be some Slaves from the Music Industry. So they end them self's, and after that, they will burn in hell... because they have sold their sole to the Devil... (and they f ing know it)
There are so many eastereggs in this video, that as a fan since '97 you pick up on 😊. Mostly references to other albums and videos from Rammstein. But also references to movies and from classic literature. With love from Germany ❤🤘🏻
Huhu bro... Rammstein does the best live concerts in the world... I've seen them 5 times... Look, Rammstein...DU HAST....live in Paris...Then you’ll understand what I mean 🤯🤯🤯
Rammstein members felt the need to evolve, explore new directions. First they kill their own clones symbolising the past. They also get free of the chains and the "ghost army", representing their fans' expectations. Then they take down the giant statues of the music Gods they have become. This is the violent process of rebirth, and if they didn't do this they would have end up dead (incapable of change) just like at the end of the video. Oh, and this song will be played at my funeral, or I aint dying!
When I heard this song for the first time I decided I want it to be played at my funeral. 😊 Hopefully there're many years left until it's time but man, I wish I could be there and watch people's reaction to it. 😅
I'm going to write this here too, cause it's my theory on the goodbyes in the different languages, and the different weight of them: Adieu- french- it's final. As in "never see you again" Goodbye- English -it's the same word but has a different weight because it's a "good" bye, it's not as final. Aufwiedersehen- German - same word, but literally translates to "until we see each other again", as in not final. Knowing how much thought goes in their lyrics, it's definitely not a coincidence.
Your face during the first minute is priceless !! Love this reaction, because I love this one, lyrics and music and voice, and because of your reaction ^^
This video has so many hints and possible ways of interpretation: First of all there are references to earlier songs and videos like "Ich Will" ("heist", haircut, smoking), "Mein Herz Brennt" (grid, cave), "Deutschland" (red beam and coffin in space shown at the official countdown to the premiere) , "Liebe ist für alle da", "Mann gegen Mann" (masses of bodies), and of course: "MUTTER" (cave with grid, Till in cave, "Mutter 22" on the laboratory door). It looks like they are on a crusade (crosses in focus) using a car with "LIFAD 6" as number plate: LIFAD is the official fan community of Rammstein and also the name of their sixth album. They enter the Paris opera house and shoot their way towards the "laboratory". While doing so, they are "dirty", dressed up for the fight. Flake mages to get the door opened with his hacker tool. On the door you find the letters “Mutter 22”. This can have (at least for me) two meanings: Their third album Mutter was released in 2001 and will become 21 years old next year. Even more fitting is another explanation for me: Around the time of “Mutter”, the band had internal conflicts and they were even close to a split. Beside other things there were disputes about the artistic future. So, they open the door “of “Mutter” and behind it there are clones of themselves. And they somehow have a kind of similar looking to the fetus (a 200 year old dead fetus btw.) One could see those “clones” as former beings of them from the “Mutter” area. Beside that the always straight red beam (past and future / red thread) has lost its direction. Like the band wasn’t clear which way to proceed. The current Rammstein change their behavior, become soft, sentimental, … before they burn down the lab and their “Mutter” clones. For me it shows, that they had to break free from the situation they were in, but nevertheless it was their live and their success, … The following scene will introduce the cave to us. From above there are six statues looking / facing downwards into it. Down there are the band members in a cage surrounded by masses of creatures (for me the fans). The band members in the cage are attached to chains, which are pulled by the creatures (fans). The band is stuck in a cage is in hell. The masses are following them, but they are are also “tormenting” the band. The fans themselves are also stuck in hell themselves. Within the cave the band is first in the cage and has metal “helmets” on and the creatures don’t move. Then they get rid of the helmets and the fans start to move. The bands gets more energetic. Finally they get free and rise towards heaven, smiling, but there is still some firing of guns. With them the fans rise up. The next scene is still irritating: The band is on ground level of the opera again, moves towards the cage and they all jump into the cave. Now you see the “band-creatures” standing on top of the cave. They rise their arms and it seems that they are pulling down the giant statues from the top of the cave. Everything crushes down, but the straight red beams rises upwards. They had to crush the hell with the giant statues as “gods” at the top and the band caught in a cage at the bottom to have a straight direction again. While the credits of this incredibly insane production are shown, one can see the dead band members lying on the floor towards the laboratory door. Right in front of the door with still “Mutter-22” on it, we find the dead Flake with his not successful hacker tool trying to unlock the door. Is this an alternative ending? Maybe. Somehow. I get the idea, that there are two time layers woven together. In the past the crushed the hell, escaping the boundaries given by fans, public, media and very probably even themselves. They were successful and the band had a future, represented by the straight upward red beam. But history can repeat. They are always endangered to get trapped again, to be torn apart. And therefore in 2022 there can be a new “Mutter-Crisis” like in the original one. They have to be aware of it and have to fight it every time it happens. When they nowadays find their “clones” behind that door, they know, they have to “burn” them down, but they have now a more differentiated view onto the past and therefore there is also sympathy for and an emotional connection with their “clones”. But if they do not face the danger of getting trapped again (as clones or as caged creatures) there will be no future for Rammstein. Then band “THEN” would die and the red beam would disappear. But if they are aware of it and if they continuously succeed to avoid being trapped again, there IS a future for the band All these ideas written down here are my personal thoughts. They can be one explanation, they can be wrong, they can be one of many interpretations. I still have so many question marks myself. But also some ideas, that might be not totally wrong.
There are so many people in Germany who hate Rammstein because they are too one dimensional to even understand one layer of them. Guys like you are the ones who give me hope in the human kind. But it's time for you to learn german and Rammstein is the best reason for it. Till's lyrics are so deep and multilayered ❤️🔥 The song in the credits is a piano version of Zeit
Was at their concert during their tour last year, with this as the closer for the set. Just perfect for saying goodbye for the night and to end the gig.
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.
Thanks to the Patreon who recommended this. This is a song that I've never heard before. Yes, Rammstein's videos are works of art! Also, thanks to those who explained what the song means. Since the video and the lyrics were so different, I never would have been able to understand the true meaning of the song.
Indeed, to me it also means that don't be stuck to past, evolve. Or, as the end showed, you may cease to exist one day if you're stuck on spot. Also, the end tunes are from the first song of album - Zeit. Circle is completed, shows that end of something old isn't always just the end - its also a start of something new.
Simply the BEST EVER! incredible all the way around❤❤ seen then in chicago 2022, hoping to see Till in his side band called, "Till lindemann" this summer.❤❤😊
Wow they made a whole sci-fi movie!, excelent. First time hearing this song but man I gotta say before I heard the first note I knew it was going to be slow and clunky, 'cause Rammstein, so it gets a face palm from me. Still like this band tho.
The video has a touch of Matrix movies - awesome. At first I was a bit disappointed by the melody, but then the chorus blew me away. I don't know why, but their last songs often make me sad but I am also impressed.
I think this video got a very special meaning.... We have 3 different types of the Band Members... Those "Action Hero Rammsteins", the "Silent unknown Rammsteins", ... and the kind of "undead, staged Rammsteins" ... I think, the Action Hero are the Music Video Rammsteins... with there high quality..... the unknown Rammsteins are the real private persons how they are in there personal life..... and then we have the one in the center of a stage.... perfoming... chained together.... the Live Band... They are chained together, when one lifts the hand, all others must lift there hands as well... and the zombie crowed encourage them... pull them, push them... We don't know what happend to the silent Rammstein... did they surive? is everything ok with them.... maybe... but we've seen, that the live Band was sill performing untill the end.... even when everything was falling appart.... but.... the Action Heros are.... dead. I think, this was the last Music Video. They will still performe live concerts, untill everything will fall appart... and we are not suppost to know, what will happen with the private persons. That's what I get from this song.
First of all, great intro and video. The synth being used in the background was killer. I liked the vocals to spite the fact i couldn't understand what they were saying. Good stuff.
I like the intro in the production of the video for sure. I pretty much enjoyed all of the Rammstein videos that you have reacted to, And this one was no exception. I will have to try your subtitle trick.. That was pretty slick. ❤ and ✌️
it seems they put subtitles only on the music videos from their latest album. but if you want subtitles you can always go to the channels of @educatedmarine or @bucksttabu for that, they have a bunch of live performances subtitles too.
The end of the video actually shows that ultimately, they failed in destroying their otherselves. So R+ will always be no matter what. I've been lucky enough to meet them a number of times, been to rehearsals and countless concerts, and they are all fantastic guys lots of fun and sweet. Yeah...R+ are sweetie pies! 😊
Hi there! Just watched your Florence + The Machine reaction and I loved it! I Think since you liked it you might want to take a listen to The Dø - Too insistent. So far, your reactions have brought me peace. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on music!
Only death lasts forever He whispers under the pine branch Everything has to go dark Even the sun will burn out But don't worry, we are with you One last time, so we sing Adieu, goodbye, goodbye You have to go the last way alone One last song, one last kiss No miracle will happen Adieu, goodbye, goodbye I had a nice time with you You leave life quietly The soul goes on a silent journey (silent journey) Flesh will perish, spirit will rise Being will surrender to death (yes) In the end you are all alone But we will be with you Adieu, goodbye, goodbye You have to go the last way alone One last song, one last kiss No miracle will happen Adieu, goodbye, goodbye I had a nice time with you Everyone dies alone (all alone) But you will always be with us Adieu, goodbye, goodbye You have to go the last way alone One last song, one last kiss No miracle will happen Adieu, goodbye, goodbye I had a nice time with you
Anstatt Analena Bearbock sollten wir Deutschen Rammstein als Außenminister in die Welt schicken. Dann wären wir nicht so unbeliebt wie seit WW2 nicht mehr. Instead of Analena Bearbock, we Germans should send Rammstein out into the world as Foreign Minister. Then we wouldn't be as unpopular as we have been since WW2.
That video remind me the movie Immortals. The Titans Scene and the end. ua-cam.com/video/kJvc-eDdEw8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=JohnSmith ua-cam.com/video/WdN3c0aWKQk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=FilmSpectre
Lovely reaction! The outro melody is acutally an extended version of the intro from the "Zeit" music video. You can hear the exact same voice singing at 11:01. I'm happy that you're getting deeper into the Rammstein rabbit hole and that you appreciate all the positive feedback. Keep going, Tommy!
Rammstein with that track "killed" their past and said goodbye to people and situations from their past ..
Being bound to what the crowd wanted,the chains and the bolts
Everything in the song has multiple meanings
One of my tops by far ❤
Thats so cool when you explain it that way!

Yea thats brillant! I loved this video!
My interpretation is that they dont want / or need to be some Slaves from the Music Industry. So they end them self's, and after that, they will burn in hell... because they have sold their sole to the Devil... (and they f ing know it)
There are so many eastereggs in this video, that as a fan since '97 you pick up on 😊. Mostly references to other albums and videos from Rammstein. But also references to movies and from classic literature.

They make some amazing videos!
Huhu bro... Rammstein does the best live concerts in the world... I've seen them 5 times... Look, Rammstein...DU HAST....live in Paris...Then you’ll understand what I mean 🤯🤯🤯

Oh, and this song will be played at my funeral, or I aint dying!
OHHHH that makes total sense! Ok thanks! Thats badass!
Mine too...
This is a goodbye to the old Rammstein
When I heard this song for the first time I decided I want it to be played at my funeral. 😊
Hopefully there're many years left until it's time but man, I wish I could be there and watch people's reaction to it. 😅
first Zeit and at the end Adieu. knew it the first time i heard them.
I'm going to write this here too, cause it's my theory on the goodbyes in the different languages, and the different weight of them:

First of all there are references to earlier songs and videos like "Ich Will" ("heist", haircut, smoking), "Mein Herz Brennt" (grid, cave), "Deutschland" (red beam and coffin in space shown at the official countdown to the premiere) , "Liebe ist für alle da", "Mann gegen Mann" (masses of bodies), and of course: "MUTTER" (cave with grid, Till in cave, "Mutter 22" on the laboratory door).

I want to add the members are dressed as priests (reference to Rosenrot), even Flake eating pages of the bible, as they get ready for a crusade.

This is one of my favourite Rammstein songs. It's so meaningful and powerful.
Yea this was amazing!

What an Epic mini movie! Reading the comments in here, this was an awesome way to reboot the band and music! So good!!!!
Yea this was insane! What a cool video.
Full circle. Starting with Zeit and finished with Adieu. Amazing!!!
First of all, great intro and video. The synth being used in the background was killer. I liked the vocals to spite the fact i couldn't understand what they were saying. Good stuff.
YEA DUDE THIS WAS GREAT.
Thise videos must be so fun to make. Movie level production ❤
What is the legacy we shall leave behind? Indeed, that is a question of life! Rammstein is offering one🤘🏻!
I like the intro in the production of the video for sure. I pretty much enjoyed all of the Rammstein videos that you have reacted to, And this one was no exception. I will have to try your subtitle trick.. That was pretty slick. ❤ and ✌️

Hell yea dude! I will be with you in spirit! I bet it will be amazing!

The end of the video actually shows that ultimately, they failed in destroying their otherselves. So R+ will always be no matter what.

Hi there! Just watched your Florence + The Machine reaction and I loved it! I Think since you liked it you might want to take a listen to The Dø - Too insistent.
So far, your reactions have brought me peace. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on music!
Aww thanks so much for being here!
This song brings emotions
I am saying nothing. Look into my eyes as I say nothing. The nothing that I did not look at means nothing. Ya.
👍❤
These men never disappoint....
Only death lasts forever
He whispers under the pine branch
Everything has to go dark
Even the sun will burn out
But don't worry, we are with you
One last time, so we sing
Adieu, goodbye, goodbye
You have to go the last way alone
One last song, one last kiss
No miracle will happen
Adieu, goodbye, goodbye
I had a nice time with you
You leave life quietly
The soul goes on a silent journey (silent journey)
Flesh will perish, spirit will rise
Being will surrender to death (yes)
In the end you are all alone
But we will be with you
Adieu, goodbye, goodbye
You have to go the last way alone
One last song, one last kiss
No miracle will happen
Adieu, goodbye, goodbye
I had a nice time with you
Everyone dies alone (all alone)
But you will always be with us
Adieu, goodbye, goodbye
You have to go the last way alone
One last song, one last kiss
No miracle will happen
Adieu, goodbye, goodbye
I had a nice time with you
Please react to their song Klavier live in Berlin
i love You my Friend !!!

sorry for the long text, but the version in English is nicer and more soulful than in German, because the translation into German is mega Misserabell
nei takk.
Anstatt Analena Bearbock sollten wir Deutschen Rammstein als Außenminister in die Welt schicken. Dann wären wir nicht so unbeliebt wie seit WW2 nicht mehr.
Instead of Analena Bearbock, we Germans should send Rammstein out into the world as Foreign Minister. Then we wouldn't be as unpopular as we have been since WW2.
