Du Riechst So Gut 98
Rammstein Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Die Spur ist frisch und auf die Brücke
Tropft dein Schweiß dein warmes Blut
Ich sehe dich nicht
Ich rieche dich nur ich spüre dich
Ein Raubtier das vor Hunger schreit
Witter ich dich meilenweit

Du riechst so gut
Ich finde dich so gut, so gut
Ich steig dir nach
Du riechst so gut
Gleich hab ich dich





Ist nur eine schmale Brücke
Die Ufer sind Vernunft und Trieb

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the chorus of Rammstein’s song “Du Riechst So Gut 98”. The song is about a predator, sung from the point of view of someone hunting their prey. The first two lines suggest a bloody struggle between the two - the predator can smell and feel their prey’s blood and sweat, but cannot see them. The predator describes themselves as an animal, starving and desperate to catch their prey. They can smell their prey from miles away and are determined to catch them.


The chorus is the predator’s ode to their prey - they smell so good that they cannot resist them. The predator is completely enamored with their prey’s scent and cannot get enough of it. They can’t help but follow the scent until they catch up to their prey. The final two lines of the chorus describe the setting of the chase. It is a narrow bridge between reason and instinct, where the predator must use all their senses to navigate and catch their prey.


Overall, the song is about the primal instincts of hunting and being hunted. The lyrics convey a sense of tension and danger, as the predator and prey play a deadly game of cat and mouse.

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.

Corrected the music video fact above.

on Keine Lust

The music video features the band members participating in various roles of a traditional funeral, all appearing bored and uninterested in their tasks.

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