American Rapper REACTS to Rammstein - Ich Tu Dir Weh (Live from Madison Square Garden)

[@TomTomson81]

The twist comes at the end of the song. Everything you have heard so far, he speaks into a mirror. So he doesn't hurt anyone else, only himself. I think the song is about sadomasochism. People who inflict pain on themselves in order to feel relief afterwards. That's why the show on stage is also fitting. Flake gets into the bathtub in a black suit and comes out as a new person in a glitter suit. Before that, he was frustrated and kicked Till, and after his shower relieved.

[@ilikeyourname4807]

S&M =/= self harm. S&M is a sexual kink, a little fun, getting a kick out of some pain and stuff. Self harm is strongly linked to depression and suicidal ideation. Like cutting yourself because you feel numb otherwise, wanting to see yourself bleed because you hate yourself so much. Quite a bit darker and I think that's what the song is about

[@danielfahrion2603]

The beauty of Rammstein, they purposely never explain any of there songs, as they want that everyone can hear what they want to hear 😊

[@eugenulrich5975]

The song is basiclly ur mind tortureing ur body for releave and pleasure, disregarding ur bodys health for ur mental one. Ur killing ur body but think u gone live on becuase like we all know mind over matter. Rammstein is theaching u not to forget that to expierence pleasure and relive u need a body without it ur mind dies too. (health body healty mind ).The translitions were off he was singing like he is talking to u untile in the end u learn that he is refering to himself (the mind is talking to the body) that u need all the the torture. The body can only talk but the mind decids what s it saying, so the body is screaming in pain but the mind say s it feels good.

The song can be interpreted in many ways, and as far as I'm aware there is no one "right" answer. Many people believe the song to be about the abuse and pain people put themselves through (in various forms, not just physical). The lyrics in the bridge point to the idea that he's talking about himself e.g. seeing the face in the mirror. Many songs (and music videos) are left open for people to interpret themselves and are specifically written in a way that allows interpretation.

A lot of people believe that this is about a sadomasochistic relationship and he is the one inflicting the pain, but When he sings "Ich seh’ im Spiegel dein Gesicht" " I see your face in the mirror" hints that the person he’s singing about is actually himself. I believe that the song is instead about self-harm and the pain and pleasure associated with it.

[@ZeallustImmortal]

I think a lot of people, including one of the other top comments on this video, just literally dont know what sadomasochism is and assume it means enjoying self harm because of what the root words are.

[@karenlipman7545]

Best group ever. There are no better live shows. Perfection. 🙂

[@Desreali]

The controversy of Rammstein is: You can hear what you want! You can hear: there is a guy who isn't sorry about hurting someone else. A guy who tortures an other in the most perverted ways (barbed wires, rodents...etc) OR you can hear: there is a guy who tortures himself. 'Cause the reflection in the mirror is a picture of himself. Most people go the easy way to stop listening, stop thinking about the lyrics. Goin' "That is sick!" The lyrics from Rammstein can be very disturbing, but mostly there is a deeper meaning and a very subtile twist, that make sense if you really listen. Till Lindemann is a genius with his lyrics, with his poetry. You can read or listen some sick stuff or you are able to think about the meaning. Just one little word can give a whole new meaning. As an example: Du hast from Rammstein. In german is "Du hast" - one S (translation: you have, you got) exactly same spoken as "Du hasst" - double S (translation: You hate). In that song he plays with these words and the meanings within a (toxic) ralationship/marriage.

[@jeanettetjondrorahardjo9588]

Toll erklärt👍

[@ZeallustImmortal]

Its always a bit of a shame that wordplay doesnt translate

[@ElmarLecher]

You picked it up correctly. the important line is "Ich seh' im Spiegel dein Gesicht - Du liebst mich, denn ich lieb' dich nicht" translating to "I see your face in the mirror - You love me because i don't love you". Its about hurting yourself. Also your info on the lead singer being shy and having lots of stage fright is correct as much as the lead singer being a certified pyrotechnician. Their stage setup is super sick and from another planet. I have seen them 8 or 9 times and had my hair burned by them and would TOTALLY go again. The frontman - Till Lindemann - is btw grandpa and 60 years old. If you want to watch more Rammstein: "Feuer Frei!" (Live from Madison Square Garden)- the normal official video is also awesome but the live one is a banger again. "Sonne" (Live at Rock im Park 2017) - very very rammstein song. Pretty awesome is also the song Rammstein from Rammstein which will teach you the correct pronounciation with an insane fire backpack but i can't find a good video of that. Non live versions that are (in my opinion) really good: "Mein Herz Brennt" piano version featuring Sven Helbig - very different angle of the band and the singer and "Deutschland" (Official Video) - video to a song. High budget video walking through german history. You'll probably should watch it once and then read some explanations and watch it again. Its .... very very dense. For all of them: have the text ready. For Deutschland probably look for documentation what the video means.

[@jsteele4829]

The cool thing about Rammstein songs is that you can interpret the lyrics several ways. For Ich Tu Dir Weh you can read it as sadomasochism, BDSM, abusive relationship, or the relationship between the soul and body. It's true art. It's whatever you take from it.

[@annegretkasten6277]

When asked about the text, Flake said that no one would go to the nearest hardware store and buy barbed wire.😂

Rammstein are brilliant live, and are not afraid of very heavy and dark subjects. Their music videos are also works of art. Mein Herz brennt the piano version is amazing! Saw them live in South Africa and no other band can ever come close to Rammstein. Yes they have shocking stuff but the world isn't all sunshine and roses. The majority of their music though is amazing and an experience. Always layered with meaning and free to interpretation. There is something for everyone.

[@sassysuzy4u]

It's so crazy to think about them still performing like this at their ages. Til (the lead singer) was born Jan 1963... That means he turned 60 this year. He was 48 when they did this concert and they are STILL touring and amazing.

[@jamesreisenauer1778]

I think the song is about self depression, self mutilation and identity disorder. In the last verse Till sings that he sees “your face” in the mirror. But then he sings in every chorus: “Es tut did gut, wenn ihr schreit.” Meaning “you (singular) will feel good, when you (plural) cry. So this song is about 3 persons. But in this moment, the third person could also be him being aware and observing what he’s doing to himself. So the song could also be about 3 of his personas.

I just found your reactions of Rammstein and I'm always happy to see how people of different countries and music genres react to their music. You guys are awesome and I really appreciate your reactions. Very curious about what you see and how you interpret it. I'm a big fan of Rammstein since I was about 10 years old and I was able to see them live for a couple of times and will see them again live in this summer in Berlin, Germany. The live shows you've reacted to are a couple of years old now and if you already liked this stage and the show you'll be blown away by their stadium tours from 2019 up to now. Believe me this is next level ;) On the other site I highly recommend the official music videos of "Deutschland" and "Zeit". These are masterpieces and especially "Deutschland" is close to a movie production. If you wanna jump into the rabbit hole try to find the documentary about their show at Madison Square Garden. It's in my opinion the best Rammstein documentary you can find. I can't wait to see more Rammstein reactions of you. You're doing a really good job ;) Greetings from Germany 😊

There are so many songs for you still to discover & u haven't even gone down the rabbit hole of their EPIC music videos, they are ART! They don't skimp on anything when it comes to making videos, great directors, stories, locations, actors, costumes etc.... Deutschland seems to be the fave atm, Adieu which is their latest is so epic the crew credits are about as long as a feature film! I'm sure other fans on here can point u in a logical direction 😂

[@jurgenolivieira1878]

What I often notice is that because of the language barrier their songs are often misunderstood, for example: - Amerika (we're all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar) would make you think their praising the US way of live. - Deutchland (Deutschland, Deutschland über allen) would make you think their deeply jingoistic. But their songs are so much deeper in meaning and often only if your read the (translated) text you understand how deep their thoughts about these things are. The criticism not praise of a global Americanized society and a song about their love hate relationship with the (mis)behavior of the country you are involuntary were born in.

I love that you guys are diving into the Rammstein universe! Almost all of their lyrics are open ended and up for multiple interpretations. Till writes them that way on purpose. Which honestly makes them even more unique as a metal band. Having lyrics that aren’t explicitly about a certain thing or narrative isn’t very common in metal. That’s because the genre provides a soundscape for the exact opposite. I know y’all are on a live kick with them but once you get into Rammstein’s music videos you’ll find a whole new absolutely bonkers side to their art. Specifically the piano version of Mein Herz Brennt, Deutschland, Ziet, and Zick Zack. Keep ‘em comin!! Cheers

In case you're wonderring, why the lyrics of the song are so, "different" from the other songs/ lyrics. Well, here is what Flake ( keyboard) had to say: "we were in beautiful France recording the new album. With beautiful weather, great landscape surrounding us. Than we realized, most lyrics are were too cute. So we went back to Berlin, were it was rainy, cold and foggy at the time. And there the dark, bad lyrics just came naturally 😅." It's about self-mutalation, if you check out the last verse. Not everyone's cup of cake (mine neither), but hey if it makes the person happy, why not. With love from Germany 😎 🤘🏻 P.S.: Regarding the cultural isue, as a European, I'm always a little confused and amused at the same time , how the US is so, let's say reserved, when it comes to sexuality and at the same time has the biggest porn production industry. 😄

[@Cyrano1202]

Let me try to explain a little bit about the background of Rammmstein. They were founded in 1994 and the six members are the same ever since. At least two members (Till Lindemann, the singer and Richard Kruspe, the lead guitarrist) had serious trouble with their mothers, leading to (from my point of view) a more dark view on life generally spoken. In addition to that, the band members grew up in the GDR (= Eastern Germany, after World War II the communistic part of Germany, allies of the Soviet Russians), so they had also to experience the economic crash of their homeland as the GDR was integrated into the FRG (= Western capitalist part, allies of the US, UK) in 1990. The music of Rammstein is outstanding and almost 50 songs are very beautiful to listen to. The themes and lyrics are often dark, sometimes creepy, sometimes funny, sometimes weird or even disturbing. But that's Rammstein. They are true artists and they just don't care what others say. And you'll find pure power songs as well as beautiiful ballades. Every single song is special and different and unique. And you will find many things which don't seem to make sense but which you understand with some background information. The band name for example refers to a former US Air Base in Germany, named Ramstein (only one m!). The band firstly chose another name but they had one sing called "Rammstein" and it was about a horrible accident which took place at an airshow, causing many deaths. "Rammstein" was the most popular song in the early time and every one just said: Yeah these are the guys with the song "Rammstein". So they just decided to call themselves "Rammstein" (So there is also a - brillant! - song, called "Rammstein" ... sorry for my bad English.

[@TheBruceGday]

True about Til Lindemann and being shy. Yes why pyrotechnics started. It gave him something to monitor and focus on other the audience. It also gives the audience something to look at besides him, so he does not feel the weight of their stares while they watch the pyro. His shyness also is the source of the crazy acts and antics on stage. The audience isn’t watching and judging him per se,but watching his act, his stage persona. Lastly, watch when he sings looking out at the audience. Notice where his eyes go. Is he looking down at the audience? You will notice that he is usually looking above their heads.

[@Gea2222]

In his solo concert he watch audience and sing to ladies in the crowd, I see this in Bratislava last year ❤

[@TheOriginal_Unaleska]

I like to see the lyrics as a reflection of the horrible things we do to ourselves (hence a reflection of the mirror). We surround ourselves with chemicals, drugs, bad food, emotional drama, mental health, all these things slowly killing us, mentally and physically. Everything in our lives is slowly poisoning us. We know it that it's bad, that it's wrong, but despite that, we continue down the path of self-harm, brainwashing, placating and willfully ignoring these problems, accepting these obvious pains and normalise them. We all have that second voice in our head, be it good or bad, telling us we need to harm ourselves more to numb the pain what we are choosing to ignore. Or the good voice, trying to tell us how messed up everything is and we need to get out.

[@aprildeann3637]

They bring their own stage everywhere they go. Absolutely everything from the backdrop and mic stands to what they wear is designed and built to their specifications. When they were starting out, the majority of the band got certified to handle pyrotechnics, mainly so they'd stop getting hassled by the authorities. After a stage accident they stopped handling it themselves and work with a team of pyrotechnic professionals for all their shows now.

[@luismof1969]

The song is about the soul speaking to the body. Basically saying the body or flesh lives for the soul while the soap hating the body that it’s in. sticking metal meaning piercings and so on.

[@fionadowdeswell-simmons4968]

One small correction to the lyrics translation. The first line of the chorus is I hurt you, I'm not sorry. As with most Rammstein songs, you interpret it how you will. Too me, it speaks of gaining sexual release from self-harm. People have all sorts of fetishes, some darker than others. Till has always suffered from stage fright so takes on on- stage characters to help deal with it. One of the reasons they started using fire was to give Till a barrier between him and the audience and it just grew from there to where we are today. A standard stadium concerts employ around 1000 people in setting up the stage, security etc. etc. The equipment is flown in on four 747's and they use around 70 trucks to ferry the stuff around. Each stage takes 60 plus hours to build so two are set up at a time, one in the next city on the tour so there are no delays. The costumes are all specifically designed for each your cycle, varying from band member to band member. You'll never witness anything as spectacular and overwhelming as a Rammstein concert. They're the real deal, the full package and absolute masters of their craft. Best live band in the world.

[@Happymali10]

Just in case this is read: When Flake (the keyboarder) is dropped in the tub he takes off the coat, which is made of the same material as fire-extinguishing blankets. He puts that over himself. The sparks are fairly "cold", and go out when they hit something. He's wearing earplugs anyway, and all the explosions are directional charges going upwards.

This song is a prime example of what people meant when their songs had double and triple meanings. Some people lean more to the bdsm route of interpreting the song and others lean towards the self harm route, and both or neither could be right. In other songs they even create their own verb tenses and words that technically don't exist in German to further force you to make your own decisions on how to interpret them.

So glad you're continuing down this fun rabbit hole! They actually did do 2 English versions of their songs, back in the 90s. Engel (Angel) and Du Hast (You Hate). Both on their Sehnsucht album which did really well here. It's why a lot of people in North America know of Rammstein at least by name. You Hate was played on the radio a fair bit, and they do have at least one chorus in German, so a lot of people know the repeated Du Hast bit as well. You might want to check them out. Neither sound as good as the originals, but at least it's their own rewrites and let's you appreciate the song as a whole better.

About pyrotechnics: A German law says, that if you use pyrotechnis on a stage like Rammstein does, there must always be an official trained pyrotechnic supervisor close on stage.

Till lindemann writes his songs that are open to different interpretations. Reason why a lot of fans connect to them. One person thinks it means this, then another person thinks it means this other stuff. And both are in the correct. So yes, song could be about BDSM, a toxic relationship and/Or Self harm. That’s what makes this band so unique. A little fact: Till, the singer, has a hard childhood. Reason why most of his songs take the dark tone.

Rammstein did not only had "a few Hits" >.< This Band is pure Poetry, true art in a time when art is commercialized and worthless >.< Every Song is a Poem >.

Again, great reaction. I literally waited for the moment you pulled up the lyrics. Can’t wait for the next reaction and which song it will be. There are sooo many😊😊😊

[@annegretkasten6277]

You have to think about how much fun the six of them were having when they wrote that.

[@SeanGreen007]

welcome to the addictive wonderful world of Rammstein! seen them 6 times , just gets better and better

[@joycesouza4804]

He sings up to tenor, his voice is incredible

[@annegretkasten6277]

An American singing teacher said he must have practiced a lot to get such a range

[@2010Steffii]

I really enjoyed your reaction :) you lucky guys have so much more to see! Just to name a few of them.. Live versions: Sonne, Rammlied, Engel Official videos: Zeit, Amerika, Adieu, Deutschland,.... Their videos are masterpieces. Greetings from Germany ✌️

[@slashbashful6549]

It makes me so happy seeing someone FINALLY recommend reacting to a live performance of Sonne 😭

[@AB-fy7zw]

Hallo Steffi das stimmt da hast du Recht.

[@deoostfrees5860]

The best band i have ever seen live. Greetings from Germany.

[@amandalynn6808]

Lyrics genius got it wrong kind of. The chorus is 'I hurt you and I'm not sorry'. Also Till used to be an Olympic swimmer, that's why he's stacked. Also, best band for double (even triple) meanings in lyrics. Watch their brand new stadium tour live if you want to see an excellent live show.

[@tinonielebock8932]

Check "Puppy" live or "Rammstein" live in .... fantastic show. If you have the opportunity to see Rammstein live, then do then don't hesitate, go! A mega experience, not only for fans! Greetings from Berlin, Germany

[@JM-gj3fi]

Puppe, not puppy. Puppe means doll

[@dawatcherz]

i'll be seeing them live next july. got the tickets just in time, their european tour has most of the shows sold out very quickly.

[@terismith4680]

When I saw them in MN at the US Bank Stadium a local news channel did a story about them coming here. They fly their stage show over from Germany in 7 747's! 7! Giant planes. It takes 90 semi trucks to haul it around the states. 300 crew 2 full days to set up the 200 foot by 100 foot stage. It is literally INSANE!

[@winandylen3863]

When I saw this song live for the first time it was so amazing, saw them 4 times live now, always perfect show with Rammstein

[@grancanariarules]

The pyrotechnic comes from the singer Till Lindemann, he is an pyrotechnical. There first Album was called "Ein Mensch brennt" a human is burning it will remind to the big accident in the Rammstein Air Force Base 28.08.1988. But it was not only a accident .......

[@mattboselli1099]

Always great reaction. I was looking forward to this

[@masterlink2319]

I love the official MV to this song, Till had this light emitting form his mouth, which was placed there by having it pierced through his left cheek. IIRC he did the same thing for a live performance of the song when it came out.

[@CavHDeu]

Please react to their song Klavier live in Berlin. Rammstein can bring up any topic and make art out of it.

[@trashak3]

This whole album (Sehnsucht) is whole about mental disorders. This song is sung to MIRROR's reflection of himself. It is about harming yourself to make yourself prettier

[@fj1659]

in the official Rammstein documentary "Rammstein in Amerika", which is also available in english, Chad Smith said he once asked Till Lindemann (singer) what the fire is all about. Till said "you know, there are three kinds of fire; first the one in your head, your thoughts, second; the fire in your heart your passion.... and the third kind is just fire (dark loud laugh)". by the way there are some Making of videos from their Music videos, some of them with english subtitles

[@e-quinox5018]

Eagerly awaiting your dive into their music videos as well! Mein Teil is a forever favorite 💓

[@jessicakruger7]

Everyone thinks of Du Hast, but their first appearance was the song Rammstein which featured on the Lost Highway movie soundtrack. Marilyn Manson had a part in the movie as well. Du Hast came after.

[@lukasgroe2365]

The Pyrotechnics in the Rammstein live schows were there from the beginning. This was because the members of the band always wanted to see something at a live show, or that`s what the band members said in a Interview from 1998

[@bjornkleeberger9255]

Hi from Duisburg Germany. This lyrics are metamorphorical,like most of the Songs. It has several levels.. Can mean hurting yourself for eg wrong decions,hurting your Partner Not really loving him The society when you are an outcast.. And its about Till and flake their relationship.. Thats why flake kicks him for revenge..a Theater,its about the soul and the world played in a big opera❤ Love from germany bros

[@erminiogomez5198]

They are the greatest performers in human history, nobody else is even close.

[@michelgobbens]

Hello, The song"Rammlied" from the same concert in Madison Square Garden is the openning song and it is fantastic.

[@valesweetgirl]

You have to react to Deutschland!! That video, lyrics everything is pure genius!

[@MoFroMo666]

Very Awesome brothers!....One of my favorite songs from them!....I honesty feel that this song is really about home for them....I think maybe describing the trials and tribulations they have gone through as a country/people....past and present have alot to teach us....I think this is their way of telling their story of strength and hardship from home....The way they talk about how to harm and to be harmed is a reflection on how we treat our homeland/people....Strength always comes from Teaching!....Thanks so much for taking the time to learn what we love!...and for sharing!

[@teqfreak]

I am Dutch, I speak German as my third language. Not as fluent as English but quite alright and I understand 100%. German is the most beautiful language there is, and Rammstein is one of the reasons that shows why. I wish I had more reason to bring it into practice. I love Rammstein, Europe has fantastic artists.

[@mercedeslp]

The reaction to the lyrics was hilarious XD

[@MilanBrutus]

Best reaction video I saw so far. Love it so much. I saw live Rammstein show 20 years ago in Chicago, the evolution is incredible. And answer your question about spelling America - in most European languages ( including my native) it's spelled with K. Thank you for your work!!!

[@Steppenkater]

Yes, Till has stage fright. He once said he didn't know what to do with himself while singing, so he started to put pyrotecs into the show to distract from him. I heard that at the beginning they hired people to do the job but then there was once an accident because the hired company did a bad job and that was the reason for him to get that license to do it by himself.

[@FilPol-yu1es]

It's very gratifying.. watching "newbies" discover New music that is truly Great.
