Although he's been active in Wolfsheim since 1987, his first commercial success was in 1991 releasing the single "The sparrows and the nightingales". In 1998 he had a big charts success doing a song with 80's star Joachim Witt, releasing the single "Die Flut". In the years following, his notability as a singer increased. Collaborating with the electronic music project Schiller, he reached charts positions in 2004 with the songs "Dream of you" and "Leben... I feel you". In the same year, he released the song "Wir sind wir" together with Paul van Dyk. Although the song was controversial because of its message (which could be interpreted as nationalist), the artists recorded another version together with the Filmorchester Babelsberg for the Day of German Unity on October 3rd, 2005 in Potsdam. A more recent project with Mila Mar and Kim Sanders from Culture Beat spawned the single "Aus Gold", intended to support Afghanian poorhouses together with the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz.
His most recent to date collaboration is with previous Wolfsheim producer, José Alvarez-Brill, on the song "Vielleicht", which is featured on Alvarez-Brill's CD Alvarez Presents Zeitmaschine Remixed (2005).
I Hate You
Peter Heppner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, how wonderfully good it can be to know
Revenge is mine
You may think ... I will forget
And that time will wash away all the things
You should regret
Do not think I can't wait
I hate you ... from the bottom of my heart
I hate you ... I'll kick and I'll break you
And I won't tear myself apart
I hate you ... from the bottom of my heart
You can't make ... your words unsaid
No matter how much you ever try to make ...
Me forget
It's not a dream … no this is real
The world is not your own fairy-tale and so ...
You will see
Revenge is enjoyed the most
If it’s eaten cold ...
I hate you ... from the bottom of my heart
I hate you ... I'll kick and I'll break you
And I won't tear myself apart
I hate you ... from the bottom of my heart

Tell me please because i can't find this information and it's very interesting! 😲🙄 And i'm a new fan of Peter!

@Joanna Zduńczyk It's likely about how he feels towards Markus, his former bandmate. Wolfsheim's breakup was pretty nasty, there was a battle in court for the band and everything because Peter wanted a 80/20 split when they signed onto a new record label and Markus refused. I love Peter, but it does make him seem like a bit of an egotistical asshole. Wolfsheim never had lyrics like these either, so I think it's obvious that it's supposed to be about Markus as its on his very first solo album as well right after the band broke up.
