On November 3, 2023, Till Lindemann released his new solo album “Zunge”. Anyone who knows Lindemann always expects the Berliner to include one or two potentially controversial lines of text. This is also the case with the Rammstein frontman’s latest prank. We take a look at some very explicit lines of text and fantasies of violence and disgust from the singer and lyricist.
“Old Meat”
Still the most harmless text on our list: In “Altes Fleisch” the lyrical self is disgusted by the aging process of his counterpart. Abstract: “I look at you, I shudder / Because what I see is disgusting / Everything about you is disgusting / You have completely abolished yourself
I can’t bear the sight / Your appearance makes me sick to my stomach / An old, withered shell / Black spots there in abundance“
“dance teacher”
Everything begins quite harmlessly: the lyrical self expresses his love of dancing. With a little twist that could have been predicted. “II have my cock back in / In my dance teacher / Because I love her so much
We rock back and forth in rhythm / She pulls me close / I kiss her face tenderly / She starts to moan softly, oh, that’s beautiful“, Lindemann sings in it.
“Wet”
In “Wet” things get more explicit. “When I kiss a whore / Piss the wrong way / A blanket covered in cum / Every cunt when I lick / Bloodletting on wrists“, it says.
“Everything for the children”
In the track “Everything for the Children” the lyrical self sings: “Don’t be afraid / Don’t be afraid of me / A child is just an animal / Don’t be afraid / We play rock, paper, scissors“
“Yummy“
“Lecker” also gets down to business explicitly. “I’ll suck it up, I’ll lick it off / I’ll suck it up, all night long / I’ll suck it up, I’ll lick it away / Lick-lick-delicious, lick-lick-delicious / I’ll suck that up, I’ll lick it up / I’ll suck it up all night long / I’ll suck it up, I’ll lick it up / Lick-lick-delicious, lick-lick-delicious“, sings Lindemann.
“In love with myself”
At the end in “Self-in-love” he describes the attraction to oneself. “Love at first sight / I think I’m hot, I’d fuck myself / If I’m pregnant, just in case / Then I’d be available a second time“, it says something like.
