Am liebsten von hinten
Stahlhammer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Von hinten
Spielt die Phantasie

Erniedrig
Dich zum Tier

Erotisch
Ist dein Antlitz dann

Erhaben
Meine Gier

Ich kenne
Deinen Namen nicht

Vergesse dein Gesicht

Bist nur
Ein Sklave meiner Angst





Von Hinten
Töt ich dich

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stahlhammer's song Am liebsten von hinten delve into dark and unsettling themes related to domination, fear and violence. The opening lines "Von hinten, spielt die Phantasie" allude to the idea that when one is approached from behind, the mind can begin to conjure up all sorts of fantasies and fears. The next line "Erniedrig dich zum Tier" directly addresses the idea of domination and submission, with the singer seeming to derive pleasure from the idea of reducing their partner to an animalistic state.


The following lines "Erotisch ist dein Antlitz dann, Erhaben meine Gier" draw a contrast between the submissive state of the partner and the heightened state of desire felt by the singer. Their partner becomes an object of desire precisely because of their submission, and the sense of power that it gives to the singer. The repetition of "Von hinten" in the refrain further emphasizes the idea of the partner being approached from behind, and the final line "Töt ich dich" leaves a disturbing impression of violence and brutality.


Overall, the lyrics of Am liebsten von hinten convey a sense of sadomasochistic desire and domination, with a hint of violence lurking just beneath the surface.
