Rammstein Zerstören lyric with English translation
Meine Sachen will ich pflegen Den Rest in Schutt und Asche legen Zerreißen zerschmeißen Zerdrücken zerpflücken Ich geh am Gartenzaun entlang Wieder spür ich diesen Drang Ich muss zerstören Doch es darf nicht mir gehören Ich muss zerstören Doch es darf nicht mir gehören Nein Ich nehme eure Siebensachen Werde sie zunichte machen Zersägen zerlegen Nicht fragen zerschlagen Und jetzt die Königsdisziplin Ein Köpfchen von der Puppe ziehen Verletzen zerfetzen zersetzen Zerstören Doch es darf nicht mir gehören Ich muss zerstören Nein Ich würde gern etwas zerstören Doch es darf nicht mir gehören Ich will ein guter Junge sein Doch das Verlangen holt mich ein Ich muss zerstören Doch es darf nicht mir gehören Nein Zerreißen zerschmeißen Zerdrücken zerpflücken Zerhauen und klauen Nicht fragen zerschlagen Zerfetzen verletzen Zerbrennen dann rennen Zersägen zerlegen Zerbrechen sich rächen Er traf ein Mädchen, das war blind Geteiltes Leid und gleichgesinnt Sah einen Stern vom Himmel gehen Und wünschte sich sie könnte sehn Sie hat die Augen aufgemacht Verließ ihn noch zur selben Nacht |
I want to tend to my things and reduce the rest to rubble Ripping, bashing Crushing, picking I go along the garden fence And feel the urge again I must destroy But only if it doesn't belong to me I must destroy But only if it doesn't belong to me No I'll take your belongings I'll annihilate them Sawing, stripping Not asking, smashing And now the supreme discipline Pulling the head off a doll Hurting, tearing, corroding Destroying But only if it doesn't belong to me I must destroy No I would like to destroy something But only if it doesn't belong to me I want to be a good boy But the desire overtakes me I must destroy But only if it doesn't belong to me No Ripping, bashing Crushing, picking Chopping and stealing Not asking, smashing Tearing, hurting Burning, then running Sawing, stripping Breaking, avenging He met a girl that was blind Shared pain and like-minded Saw a star go from the sky And wished that she could see She opened her eyes And left him in the same night |
Zerstören (Destroy) is a song about a young boy who likes to destroy other peoples belongings. This song is played quite fast and with high energy. It opens with a woman singing Turkish folk song Huma Kusu and loud slightly echoing drumming, and increases in intensity until the “end” of the song. At this point it relaxs a little, and is a bit quiet, calm and soothing. The listener hears a sad story, or (arguably) the ending to the same story:
“He met a girl that was blind, shared pain and like-minded. Saw a star go from the sky and wished that she could see.
She opened her eyes and left him in the same night.”
In the background a cute, child-like keyboard can be heard. It ends with some odd discordant notes.

8:11 pm on September 20th, 2008I LOVE this song! Went through a horrable break up and listened to this song to calm myself down. Found out that towards the end my ex was with someone else. I would listen to this song and scream along and hope that he was like the boy at the end who was left when the girl he was with would see why I left him.
Gotta listen to this song NOW!!!

8:20 pm on August 10th, 2009Great cathartic song~ little cheers me more than growling along to the lyrics… and it’s great vocabulary, what with all the infinitive forms of the verbs.

9:52 pm on November 18th, 2010@Kansa Yeah this song helped me a lot in learning German verbs. thanks rammstein!

10:19 am on March 20th, 2011Oh, how this reminds me to listen to this alone, less I flip out on someone when they touch my stereo volume, which is always at 190% due to me putting in a 15″ speaker cone in my suround sound speaker system.

8:50 pm on May 12th, 2011This song is about America and the Iraq War…
-
10:21 pm on June 2nd, 2011Dylan is right, it’s about how America keeps poking it’s head in every one else’s busyness and ruining them. Take Irak for example…
-
9:27 pm on June 22nd, 2011they should perform this song live
i love it so much -
10:42 pm on October 20th, 2011This is my favorite song!
Rammstein is amazing.. even if I seriously suck when I’m ‘attempting’ to sing a-long, hehehe..German is one of the languages I’d really like to learn, it’s the most beautiful language in my opinion, very passionate!
-
11:18 pm on December 22nd, 2011Haha the beginning
Great song indeed. Although the mid part soundslame, the soft voices in the closing part makes this song something to listen. -
5:45 am on December 24th, 2011I Love this song. It says on the lyrics page, that this song means (Destroy) it is a song about a young boy who likes to destroy other peoples belongings.
@Dylan, and Canada, I was not for America going into Iraq, but this is not what this song is about. I am sick of everyone lumping all Americans into the same category and blaming us for everything. One of my best friends is from Canada and she’s also a big Rammstein fan and she does not have these views. -
5:21 pm on February 6th, 2012“This has no links with politics.
It’s a story of a guy who is always kind and good, but he’s ugly. He wants to destroy everything because no girls want of him, but he’s too good to do it. Then he meets a girl who is blind, they are the same? inside, so he wishes that she could see and she sees him and leave him because he’s ugly.
Almost the same meaning as Morgenstern.
Humans are creatures of the eyes”

2:10 am on February 14th, 2012Rammstein works are very hard to interpret due to the extremely metaphoric nature of German language. What that means is they speak in a way that requires understanding of their last 1,000 years of History. Bottom line: Europe was the Source of all Hell on Earth… illness, violence… I think the Story of Boudica fits this but Research Continues. RisePatriot Youtube for moving fractal 2012 rammstein interpretives with subs.

1:32 pm on February 19th, 2012Dylan. It is about wanting to destroy. Why didn’t you think to say it was about al Qeada? Or Iraq invading Kuwait? Japan invading China? China invading Tibet? Genocide in Africa? Or (GOD FORBID!!!) Germany invading Europe? America didn’t invent it…we have only perfected it!
