    I always go to Herzeleid for Rammstein songs. In my opinion, it's a completely awesome song since there are so many stupid homophobics in the world. I'm not that way myself, but some of my best friends are and it sucks to always hear people insulting gays.

    Huh, I seriously thought he says "Schwuler" and not "Schwule"... This song is probably one of the best on the new album in my opinion: the puns are just awesome and the part after the 2nd chorus is so haunting. I love it!

    I love this song and the new album but this is my fav. It says Schwule cos thats what gay is in german, bu he adds a ah on the end to make it catching and fit in with the song, that all!

    I mean, it's just a matter of plural vs. singular, 'Schwule' being the plural of 'Schwuler', but I guess I see your point.

    Sounds more like Schwulah, than Schwule or Schwuler.

    Well yeah, because that's how Germans would pronounce it... Not everyone goes around rolling the Rs like Till, and not even he does it all the time.

    im from austria - means i speak perfect German and im 100% sure that he say schwuler its meant that "Kalte Zungen die da schlagen" means that Cold tongues (cold is always bad in rammstein songs) call him fagott and when he screams he says schwuler ahhhhh it can sound like schwula wich is same as schwuler, schwula is just "slang" but if u really listen u hear the "er" instead of "ah"

    Thanks, alemur, for clearing that up.

    I have another question for you native German speakers out there. I've had a lot experience studying German now, but I have never come across the expression "Zungen, die schlagen". Is this something that Rammstein made up and it's just supposed to be a metaphor, or is it really an expression that has a specific meaning? I tried to look it up, but all I found was "das Zungenschlagen", which is apparently a clinical term used to describe some sort of abnormal movement of the tongue... Can someone help?

    Definatly one of the best songs of Rosenrot! but no one has really explained the meaning....well

    Mann Gegen Mann is about the rebelious nature of homosexuality (simply put) - its basically the ultimate (pure even) form of rebelion to life. Pick a aspect of life and even death and youll see thats true

    "Schwulah" is a made up word (kinda) - its just taking the german word for 'fagget' and combining it with some screaming, that word could represent the whole 'effect' of homosexuality on society- - - if you seen the video (full of naked men - except for Till) youll see when hes yelling it - he transform to this demon - Schwulah represents the demon

    o yeah - final note, homosexuality has been around for a long time (very frequent in old great cultures of Asia) its just that as Christianity spread - well uhh people got 'prudish' - today people are more free to live their lifes (no offense to the organized religons)...and yeah like most things, the media is trying to captilize of things :cough:urban culture:cough:

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
