Ain't it funny how everybody takes this band so serious and interpretes their lyrics as some high-level intellectual lyricism?
Those who understand German know what I mean, for those who don't:

Quote

Wer zu Lebzeit gut auf Erden
wird nach dem Tod ein Engel werden
den Blick Ògen Himmel fragst du dann
warum man sie nicht sehen kann

erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn
kann man uns am Himmel sehn
wir haben Angst und sind allein
Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein

Sie leben hinterm Horizont
getrennt von uns unendlich weit
sie mussen sich an Sterne krallen (ganz fest)
damit sie nicht vom Himmel fallen

erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn
kann man uns am Himmel sehn
wir haben Angst und sind allein
Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein

[English translation:]

[Angel]

Who in his lifetime is good on Earth
Becomes after death an angel
And you watching the sky ask yourself,
Why can't you see them?

First when the clouds go to sleep
You can see us in the sky
We are afraid and alone

God knows I don't want to be an angel

They live behind the horizon
Divorced from us, endless wide
They must hold to the stars
So that they don't fall from Heaven

First when the clouds go to sleep
You can see us in the sky
We are afraid and alone

God knows I don't want to be an angel
First when the clouds go to sleep
You can see us in the sky
We are afraid and alone

God knows I don't want to be an angel

I mean, wtf is this? Kindergarten poetry contest? I just can't imagine how anybody could say, oh wow this is sooo deep it made me cry.
You know German Schlager? It's the same but for old folks.

This band just makes me laugh. And not only that, also their music is just as random as their lyrics.
As a parody, they do kinda rock however. But I'd never spend any money in their crap.

...but it sounds so cool in German...

I guess that is the point and their reason for making sure their albums are in German when released here. Who knows.

I actually think they are pretty good as musicians.

And I care about as much a I care to glace at a dog licking his arse.

Are you serious? They might be, but we'll never find out since what they present in Rammstein is riffs and beats a kid learns at a city music school during the first semester. They're playing pretty accurate though...

Only way to deal with 'em except for laughing at.
