They've always had many double meanings in the lyrics ... I think most people interpret them to fit what they're already thinking on some level

and to be fair ... I don't get all of the lyrics to all their songs by any means. I'm far from fluent and I think you kind of have to be to really get some of the more subtle word play

Yeah if someone really wants to, he can read anything in the lyrics of any band.
Personally what I read in the lyrics is a reference to the Nazis, or perhaps rather a general reference to people who hate / fear foreigners or foreign things and are overly protective about what's their's, be it their country or culture or women or whatever.
Since I know Rammstein are no Nazis, I think they criticize the people who the lyrics are about. After all he (Till) is the one walking around, seeking a place to live and is getting rejected by them, shouting at him. And "they" are the ones with the flags (you know.. like swastika flags) who don't want him there, and they're shouting "my country" etc.
Also like pretty much all Rammstein lyrics, it's not 100% serious of course but that should be obvious judging from the video

I found a rough translation on some crappy lyrics site, but it's not translated too good imo:

"Where are you going, where to?!"

I take myself from the East to the South.

"Where are you going, where to?!"

I take myself from the South to the West.

"Where are you going, where to?!"

I take myself from the West to the North.

Here he comes running, with the flag in his hand.

My country!

My country!

You are here in my country, my will and my beach - My country.

You are here in my country, my will and my beach - My country.

My will and my beach.

"Where are you going, where to?!"

I take myself from the North to the East.

"Where are you going, where to?!"

I take myself from the East to the West.

"Where are you going, where to?!"

I take myself from the West to the East.

"As they come running up, with the flags in their hands..."

My country! - "They're screaming!" - "My country!"

"You are here in my country, my will and my beach - My country."

"You are here in my country, my will and my beach - My country."

"My palm-trees and my sand."

Yeah~

A voice from the light, fell down from the face of the sky.

Teared the horizon into two...

"Where are you going?! Here freedom is no more. - This is my country."
(((( "here freedom is no more" is just wrong. He basically says "Here is no place (for you) anymore" or "Here is no spare place anymore" .. so you probably get the meaning: no place for foreigners))))

"This is my country."

"THIS IS MY COUNTRY!"

"THIS IS MY COUNTRY~!"

"My country!"

yeah you hear what you want to hear.

The song itself is ok I guess, not their best song, not their worst song.
I pretty much like the lyrics, as I do most of the time.
Honestly if I wouldnt understand them I wouldnt see the point to listen to rammstein overall, as the music really isnt spectacular.
It fits to the vocals and stuff tho

Das Video auf Vimeo? oO Bei mir geht es problemlos. Ich wollte noch sagen wie gut es ist dass sie es nicht auf Youtube hochgeladen haben wo es sofort gesperrt wird.

 

[Skadsson]

Also das auf Vimeo geht problemlos.

No idea what the fuck they're saying. But I love Rammstein, and this video is awesome.

Honestly if I wouldnt understand them I wouldnt see the point to listen to rammstein overall, as the music really isnt spectacular.

I don't understand anything but I really dig Rammstein's music since "Mutter". There are beautiful melodies in songs like Sonne, Mein Henz Brent, Reise Reise... and loads of powerful riffs that I don't need to understand. It just makes my head move... that's enough.

Well, there is a song that i really understand very well "Te Quiero Puta".

 

[Mago]

Well, there is a song that i really understand very well "Te Quiero Puta".

HAHAHAHA

But yeah true, now that you mentioned "Mutter" it reminds me of something...I'm pretty sure back when it came out I also didn't really get the lyrics even if I was able to understand them, beeing 13 year old without any clue haha
Still enjoyed the fuck out of that album, it's actually the first "heavy" album I ever bought myself...got the ball rolling with it I guess

I even enjoy them more since I get (or at least I think that I get it) what they are talking about though...
