Wilder Wein
Rammstein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wilder Wein, ich bin bereit
Man meldet Ankunft nur für den König
Gott steh' mir bei und öffne deine Tore
Wilder Wein und ganz langsam
Wilder Wein, so warm und feucht
Wilder Wein vor deinem Schoss
Wilder Wein, es steht geschrieben
Tief im Wasser, kreuzt man nicht
Doch meine Lust, verlacht die Flügel
Wilder Wein wie eine Taube
Wilder Wein so nass und heiß
Wilder Wein vor diesem Dunkel
Wilder Wein von Licht geheilt
Es bleibt verborgen, sonst könnten wir uns wehren
Ich warte auf dich, am Ende der Nacht
Wilder Wein nur eine Traube
Wilder Wein und bitter wie Schnee
Ich warte auf dich, am Ende der Nacht
Ich warte auf dich, am Ende der Nacht
Ich warte auf dich, am Ende der Nacht
Ich warte auf dich, am Ende der Nacht
The lyrics to Rammstein's song Wilder Wein speak of a desire to enter a castle, represented by the wild vine growing around it. The singer is seemingly requesting permission to enter, stating that he has announced his arrival for the king's attention. He calls upon God for assistance and requests that the castle's gates be opened for him. The wild vine is described as warm and moist, evoking a sense of sexual desire.
In the second stanza, the lyrics take on a more explicit sexual tone. The singer speaks of his lust which disregards even the crossing of deep waters. He describes the wild vine as wet and hot, comparing it to a dove. The lyrics seem to suggest that the singer's desire for the castle and its inhabitants is all-consuming, and that he is willing to take whatever risks necessary to satisfy it.
The third and final stanza introduces a sense of danger, with the lyrics speaking of darkness and the need for light to heal. The singer suggests that their desires must remain hidden, as they could otherwise defend themselves. The final line suggests that the singer is willing to endure bitterness and coldness, waiting for the object of their desires until the end of the night.
Overall, the lyrics to Wilder Wein speak of a powerful sexual desire and the lengths one will go to satisfy it, even in the face of danger and opposition.

This song reminds me of Gru from Despicable Me, as he is so powerful, that he paralyzed a shark and was able to outrun supersonic missiles.

The music video has them performing in fat suits, not at a funeral.
