I think the "black man" has a double meaning 1.) the black man has the same meaning as the big bad wolf in European culture. something that punishes or torments and tortures 2.) The video shows a black woman with her child sitting on a barbed wire seat. it's about the fear of refugees from Africa. about a fear of uncertainty and of the unknown. Rammstein has shown in many actions that they are in favor of taking in refugees in Europe.
Being swiss, I believe that "Der Schwarze Mann" is something akin to the "Bogeyman", which is some shady/evil being, used to frighten naughty children. So yes, you would be spot on!
hello fellow swiss person
In this song it means both. Black man in the sense of foreign man with dark skin. And also Boogeyman.
Btw. Hello fellow swiss Person
Yes Bogeyman is Der Schwarze Mann, but here it is a metaphora for everything foreign and strange. Things that people think they have to be afraid of.
Obviously its referring the Covid years and all the conspiracy weirdos that popped up, and also the Angst that african or arabic refugess come to Europe with bad intentions.
s'schöne an Rammstein isch.. dass es offe für verschiedeni interpredatione isch..gruess ebefalls us dr schwyz..😉
in diesem Fall bedeutet es beides , das ist auch schon so gemeint das vor der Angst vor Fremden auch Fremdenfeindlichkeit entstehen kann, so wie manche Politiker diese Angst bewusst schüren um die Massen hinter sich zu scharren. Und der Fernseher muss wohl dran glauben, weil durch den Medien auch noch die ganze Angst verbreitet wird.

Black Man (Der schwarze Mann), sometimes called Bogey Man, is a traditional German game and one of the oldest games in the line of Western European chasing games that had been described already in 1796 by Johann Christoph Friedrich GutsMuths. It draws on ancient "plague games" in which the catcher epitomizes the Black Death. Everyone he touches becomes a bearer of the plague. In a broader sense, the character in the game represents death itself. The game ends in the triumph of the Black Man, whose power goes on increasing with each new capture.
The black death plague. In the Middle Ages, plague doctors wore all black clothing, i.e. they were completely covered in black from head to toe and wore a completely black face mask with a beak. Where these figures appear, death dwelt.
Ah it reminds me of "ring a ring of Rosie, pocket full of posies, a tissue, a tissue, we all fall down" cos people be dying from plague
Nice story. But it has nothing to do with the song. This song is about the black man. A character used to scare children when they are not well behaved. I heard that from my parents when I was a kid. I'm not much younger than the people from Rammstein and grew up in the GDR. A lot of kids had to listen to that. I think Til too. But the song isn't about scaring kids. But to make fear as an instrument of power to make people docile. It's also about instilling fear! fear of the stranger. In Germany there are quite a few people who are afraid of foreigners. Especially those who come from Africa. They are defamed as thieves, rapists and stabbing. These people are repeatedly the subject of hate speech on the Internet. Especially right-wing parties and Nazis are spreading this fear. At the end of the video you can see the band eating a candy. This used to be called N…Kuss in Germany. N stands for the despising word for Africans.
@@cestarrivepresdechezvous1789 I think it is both.
The boogie man game resulted from the stories kids were told. 'be nice or the black man is coming to get you.'
In german 'black man' has a different more direct meaning though.
On the on hand its this nightmarish creature on the other hand is used to describe 'the african migrant'.
It is not a coincidence and defintly planned here, absed on the intro and the outro.
@@cestarrivepresdechezvous1789 Well , I'm German as well and I have to point out that the OP is absolutely right since he is refering to the origins - that's why it has become a commonly used threat to ill behaved children.
Actually the game is very usefull in an educational way for children , like all chasing games - not only physically but mentally as well - experiencing and learn to deal with fear and threat in a playfull way.
The literal translation of schwarzer Mann would be indeed black man , which is a double entendre of course, and I agree with you about the fear ofrefugees being used as an example to point out the effects of populism.
I find the progression of the video most intersting though - the "neighbours" were chating and laughing together over the fence in the beginning - in the second verse they start to wall in themselves, isolating from each other - culminating in shoorting each others picture on the TVs in the breakdown, while being cheered on by the "home crowd".
To me this song to me is a social comment on opinion bubbles , internet hate and the breakdown of communication/debate and "real life" social interaction.
Notice how Black&White turns into colour while Till smashes the TV / screen at the end.
A lot of folks seem to miss this, but the video is basically about the "madmen" ranting on our computers and televisions making us afraid of our neighbors. When the neighbors portrayed by the band start shooting at the televisions, the images on the tv screens are not Till's face, but the security camera footage of their next door neighbors, who are also holding assault rifles. It's a pretty perfect metaphor, perhaps lost in a first viewing because it doesn't show up large on a computer screen, heh.
7:40 Till screaming "Alle haben Angst" out of his lungs is goosebumps material. It's so good. Till is really scary in this video.
Just like me! I always get goosebumbs at this moment
for me the goosebumps start just seconds earlier, when he goes into the "Und die Furcht wächst in die Nacht..." as his voice is almost like distorted, strained but very raw... that's gripping as hell!
@@LuGer212 That too. The buildup is really chilling.
@@mrredherring2900 I can't wait to hear that live... With the band in the background, the effects at that moment.
Oh it will be glorious
you smell like fish though
The most accurate English translation of Schwarzer Mann would be Boogieman. The concept probably exists in every culture, something you scare your kids with to make them behave.
My first interpretation revolved mainly about racism, the European refugee crisis of 2015/16 and BLM protests in the USA, since that is what the imagery of the video shows to us.
But after watching the video a bunch of times and reading other comments, my interpretation is now a bit broader:
Everybody is afraid of something/someone, has their own Boogieman. Be it black, white, left, right, gay, religios, atheist, etc.
And for every one of these fears, there is media stoking it. That can be everything from state sponsored propaganda down to social media bubbles spreading their specific fearmongering messages against their audiences' Boogiemen. And somebody always profits from the fear they spread.
The part where the band builds up walls and arms themselves shows the general mistrust to everyone who is not part of their specific group, after being fed these fear-inducing messages from the media. And then their TVs show them that everybody else is also armed and dangerous, leading to everybody shooting the middle and destroying the foundation of the society they all live in, causing their own downfall.
We, as a society, must tear down those walls, lay down those arms and start talking with each other. And the media profiting off the fear they spread needsto be ignored for that to happen.
By the way, the candy they're eating during the credits is what Wikipedia decribes as "Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats". In the past in Germany, there were several names for these sweets, which are today (rightfully) considered racist and no longer in use. There was a lot of media coverage about the name change a few years ago and a lot closet racist conservatives were outraged that they couldn't call them "Negro Kisses" anymore.
So yet another hint that Rammstein are definitely adressing racism in the video, but also so much more.
Thank you. I saw the video a couple of times too and also some reactions to it. I have to say your comment is, in my opinion, the most accurate. The song is about the fear of everything unfamiliar but with strong inplications to the refugee crisis and the media, which blew it up unproportionally.
I am absolutely with you and blackcap 666.
First time I saw the video - in the final scene I thought it's all about the refugee crisis in the last years. The first wave with millions of people leaving their countries came from Africa to Europe and I thought the colored mother with her child on the beach represents those refugees. The media shows us them coming, people get crazy by fear and want to protect their homes and life's.
But now - after watching a lot of reaction videos an reading many comments - I think this is only one of many fears the people have. In this example the refugee is the bogeyman - but he alway can represent other fears that the media sells - and people get crazy and have "AAAAAAAANGST!!!!!" ;)
Great song. Visually and sonically Rammstein never disappoint ! 🤘🤘
That's for sure!!
BTW: You are from Romenia? So you should check out Rammstein- "Rosenrot" - the clip was made in Romenia. The Rammstein Song "Donaukinder" is about the Baia-Mare catastrophe in 2000.
Really nice reaction, as always. And if you like Till´s singing style there I highly recommended to try Rammsteins song Puppe. Till is so powerful there. And greetings from Finland
Definitely , Puppe is Fantastic 🤘
or Stein um stein
+++++
Puppe is pure insanity
The best thing about it is that the television is broken and the world is colorful again
This is probably my favorite song from the new album, certainly the best single ("Schwarz" is great also).
Trivia-note: The credits list one of the band-members among the cheerleaders XD
My absolut favorit Song from Rammstein! I Love that Band soo Hard!
They telling the truth in „extrem Ways“ but at the End it is How they show it.
Love the way you are reacting! Natural und real! Keep it going like u do it! Very enjoyable to watch!
I Hope you get your ticket for a live show in the Future! 💪🏻
once a year. algorythms. love your reactions. bisscute. angst.
Yeah, to me the song is drawing parallels between the stories we were told as kids about how we need to fear the boogeyman, and how these days the media (main stream, alternative, social etc.) Have us afraid of everyone and everything and we build up literal and figurative walls to keep ourselves "safe", when in fact all we are doing is separating ourselves from our fellow man.
Beautify put. Couldn't agree more. Fear is natural, fear has it's use. However, it can be utilised to manipulate and alienate humans from their very nature as well.
Very well said :o)
Excellent reaction, you were clearly very into deciphering what you was going on. Till's a mastermind.
what a great reaction! to see your pure joy on your beautiful face made my day!!!! you were so into the song, adorable. I just love your videos so much!
My eyes get filled in tears, have goosebumps and I have the willing to jump crazly every single time i hear this song. Maaaan... what a great work.(by the way I love the evil cheerleaders dance.)
Ollie best cheerleader
she looks so cute to listen metal music!!!😃
As allways Rammstein songs are made for multiple interpretations…
Maybe it’s about the fear of the bogeyman
Maybe it’s the fear for all the non familiar things in our world
Maybe they call out the fear of foreigners and people with other cultural backgrounds (yes unfortunately that is still today a common thing in Germany)
I think it‘s about all of this (and maybe more)
Great reaction as allways
Im from Germany and i hate people with other cultural background!
Solln se da bleiben wo se hingehören die Mulakken
And maybe it is the media, that tells you what to fear about.
@@PlaysiiBoy
only rammstein know
This is my favourite track and video, great reaction thanks 🙏
ok this finally made me fall in love with you. You and your reactions are so awesome!
till’s screaming got me everytime. Aaaaangst
Great reaction as always. Love Rammstein. Sending regards from Czech Republic ;).
I love the way you feel the music. I fell it the same way every time I listen to it
Happy to hear that❤️
I love your energy in these vids :D
They're eating whipping cream on a thin waffle, covered in chocolate. These were originally called "Negerkuss" (negro's kiss), but the name is understandably frowned upon, and these days, they're named differently. I'm not sure what, I left Germany a decade ago. The Bogeyman is called "Schwarzer Mann" (black man) in German, so they close the circle here with a nudge at the double meaning, pointing at fear of things like immigration etc. The red cables also have multiple meanings. For one, red is a colour that symbolises fear, but there's also the "red thread", the connective tissue, that you can see in other videos, as well, like in Deutschland.
Ah yes.. the red thread. I was always referring to it as the "line" like a line of thought or something to follow through a story. But convective tissue is a better term I think.
They're named "Schwedenbomben" in Austra and "Schokokuss" in Germany and Switzerland.
"Red thread" is a common expression in German (and in Dutch and Swedish). It refers to the central theme of a story.
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤

Thank you so much!!
Ein Meisterwerk !
Love your reactions. Keep them coming :)
You also speak English really well!
Thank you! 😃
About Rammstein, why do the guitar Riffs is always amazing 🤤
Such a powerful message. Music of the year for me. Great review
Glad you enjoyed it!
I don’t comment usually but your reaction was great. Love your channel.
Did no one notice, the majority of the Video is filmed in Black/White/Red, which are the colours of the flag of the Kaiserreich and also the „Reichskriegsflagge“? Both flags has been shown multiple times on ralleys against refugees, Covid measures, etc.. Also the wheel sign at Tills lectern, looks like a simplified Schwarze Sonne (black sun), which is a popular symbol often used by Nazis as well. To me, by using these elements, Rammstein does clearly indicate what kind of people they do portray here.
I understand limited German and I remember being confused why he kept saying "who's afraid of the black man?", which seemed very odd (maybe just an American thing), until I looked it up and it refers not at all to skin color, but of a man in dark clothing or from the shadows equivalent to the boogie man which would go after misbehaving children.
this song is a real banger. this is about not fearing what the media is feeding you and the last part was the tv being smashed.
I read it as being about people nievely fearing stuff fr outside of their own lives, stuff they only hear about through technology.
Bisscute, hey, if u fell in love with Rammmstein, I'd advise u to listen to 'Ost+Front'
If u know nothing about them, I say - their German lyrics are more dirty and their heavy guitar sound is more dark, but it is just BEAUTIFUL😍
They have no as fascinating videos as Rammstein has, but music of Ost+Front is worth ur attention 😌
Ich liebe Rammstein 😍❤
in the end they are eating foamkisses i guess, untiel a few years ago it was called Negerküsse "Negrokisses" or Mohrenköpfe "Moorheads". So they are hard pressing on the coloured peple part on the blackman/bogeyman part.
I love your reactions. Specially from Rammstein. Did you listen the complete New Album? Liebe Grüße
I'm German but my father was born in Bukarest, just want to tell🤗 good interpretation
Rammstein is now playing Angst live, finally! Here is a good performance at Helsinki a few days ago!
czcams.com/video/dz-lm6_E6IE/video.html
Btw, In the end scene, what they where eating are a candy that once in former times had the name "N-word kisses" in germany, the devil is in the detail ;)
Anyone noticed when Till destroyed the TV at the end of the video it became from black and white to color?
if you get the chance go and see them,i av in 2002 at the manchester apollo,very very good live....
I love your show. Till is the greatest smile
Growing up in germany, my uncle once visited my family when i was a child, telling me something about the "black man" when i was going to sleep. Scared the crap out of me. And yes, it would be losely translated into bogey man. Something that gets you, if you don't behave. As an adult, it would be mostly what media tells us to be afriad of at this point.
Damn, what a great, constructive and well spoken reaction!
Thank you!
lol U should listen to “PUPPE” thats the real Till’s madness quality crazyness everything lol
Ok I have watched all of your videos just today 🤯🤪....you are so cool 💐🥂
Oh wow that is a lot! i hope you liked them all! thank you so much!
@@BisscuteReacts I like most of the bands so watching your reaction to bands I personally knew back in the day was very cool....you have amazing energy💥🍻
Well, I was going to leave a comment about the boogie man but apparently everyone else had the same idea.... So I will just say once again, I love your energy and I hope I get you as a stewardess next time I'm in Deutschland. 😁👍
La canción habla sobre temas actuales, como el uso de armas , la tecnología y el miedo hacia el otro.
No hay nada mas poderoso que el medio, pues te hará comprar armas.
Nice reaction grüße aus Deutschland
Listen to Rammstein - Puppe , it has the most crazy Till vocals ever
I really hope one day you go to one of their concert, if you're impressed by Till's presence on a video, you have no idea how it will crush you on live.
Though, you know what it is about? the fear of... the other, the foreigner, the one not like you, that make you build walls, isolate yourself, close the borders till you put on the ignoble.
See the progression of the video, familly guys, bbq, cosy, mowing their garden, then that guy in straitjacket, posing like a dictator (the wheel on the booth ressemble to the black sun symbol) and the same guys, saluting (don't you find that salute familiar?) and then isolating themselves? no more bbq, stuck on their computer and building walls between eachothers.... and the final, 2 refugees (my opinion, it looks like) a mom and her daughter, circled by barbedwire.... Aouch
edit: Ah forgot... the red computer wires.... they are directly linked to the guy in straitjacket, flooding these familly guys with his propaganda.
The constant media creating distance between people, creating and adding fear to the day to day life, where the bogeyman could be anyone. Even your neighbor.
Great song, and video!!
Hey, me again... ;) ...they're eating so called "Foam Kisses" at the end of the video; just google, how they were called in the past here in Germany - even that says something about the song, the video and its meaning, I think. A LOT of interpretation possibilities here.
Like a foarte nebun barbat he was screaming i love it
7:02 Cool Reaction! 😎 👍
I like that mole on your forehead, it's like the 3rd Eye of Truth.
She did not even notices that the video got color when the tv they was watching got destroyed
I think the red cables represent a lifeline. Like blood. We can't live without being attached to either a phone or television.
And yet so separate from each other as common people.
Na minha época de infância, aqui no Brasil, quando os pais queriam por medo nos filhos eles falavam que o homem do saco ia passar pra pegar a gente, basicamente era um homem mal vestido, sujo e mal encarado que andava carregando um saco nas costas, ele passava recolhendo crianças malvadas, jogava elas dentro do saco e depois desaparecia, e isso funcionava, a gente tremia só de ouvir "homem do saco" kkkkkk
Rammstein - Puppe
Enjoy this album as much as you can. May be their last album for real this time (last song of the album is the indicator) T_T
The "black" or "bogey" man is I think meant to represent any group some politicians/media use to blame for a country's problems. Til in front of the podium as a leader using a group as scapegoats.
It's about Kommunism, History (DDR), Wall-Building 1961, also that in the US a lot of people have weapons for their private protection... also with a look at today... (war to protect(?) the own land(?) -> at the end it's about political correctness... [only a few parts of the messages]
LG
Sie sollen Faun "Diese Kalte Nacht" zu hören. Es ist fantastisch.
The best Rammstein song for Karaoke in my opinion is "du tust mir weh" 🙂
Biscuita MEA !
👌🏻
Please make Rammstein - Adieu !
Мощно!
6:48 MAIN HEIR !!!! :)))
As in all Rammstein songs, this one not excluded, there are always more meanings then just one. This song has a double meaning as well as the referance “Shwarzer Man”. The first is the meaning of the Bogeyman, as he reffer to a popular children’s chasing game, Who’s afraid of the bogeyman and kids replaying: Noone. Then the bogeyman asks: What will you do when the bogeyman comes to you, and kids replaying: We will rush through like we always do.
In the 18 century’s game, the Man in Black “Shwarzer Man”, (later switched to the bogeyman to obviously not get confused with Black people) is the one who takes lives, brings death and diseases. The children has to face their Fears and be fast and inventive while dodge the danger and try to escape to the other side.
The Man in Black aka Bogeyman or Grim Reper, resembles our most notorious Fear, the Fear of Death. As the kids in the game, we are willing to do everything to escape Death. This fear drives us into uncertainity of our souroundings, neighbours, friends, politics religions. It split our societies, brakes our relationships, opens our misstrust to others, due to the severity of our own mortality. To protect ourselves, we build walls, buy an outrage amount of weapons, because we are constantly held in fear nevertheless through social and mainstream media. Note when till destroys the TV, there is color again. There is no more black and white.
The second meaning of “Schwarzer Man” is based on racism and iliterally means Black Man. The fear doesn’t only reffer to fear of black people, but to all different kind of people that are different from the mainstream, like refuges, people with different religios, ethnical and social backround, people different fom us, that we fear. And all this because of the media outrage and dividing politics of lunatics. Till resembles a lunatic government who speaks to his audiences trough unreasonable fear of others. At the end you see two black people (Mother and child), imprisoned in a circle trough the wire, and getting watched by the ruling society over TV media outlets as they are very happy to isolated their fear. Well at least not for one, who decide to end this madness.
My interpretation: The meaning of the "black man" should be translated as "the boogie man". The Evil who is using fear and the word tricks to manipulate his victim. Look, he is standing on rostrum platform, where are the microphones connected trough red cables to tv and computers. On that rostrum platform there is a symbol/mark - the wheel, the ship wheel, so it means that he has to be someone very important like a president, etc. As we saw he was in straitjacket before (which means that we deal with someone who act as kind of normal person but his hided plan, goals, intentions are insane as like people who are in mental hospital).
Those people on the beginning, who cutting their lawn/grass - their lifestyle - single family house, huge grass, white fences, meat on grill, their clothes, etc - it reminds me American life style. Also, the children - the cheerleaders are also the symbol of America. And what they usually do? They are happy when their team is winning, and they always perform their show to distract you from the things in background, they keep entertained you to take your focus from the truth.
America is the most powerful, most influential country on the world, then I think this is about how America government is manipulating everyone using words like wa.r, terr.orists, vi.ruses, etc, they're doing it trugh TVs and computers, to call the fear in you.
As we see, on the beginning people were open and nice to each other (in old days, long time ago, people trust each other, they didn't lock their houses, they didn't have security video cameras, guns, etc) And now the boogie man continue to do a brain wash to everyone who is watching tv, so brain washed people started to have paranoia "needs" - needs to build the walls to close alone inside their houses. They start to pay for it. They want to pay for security cameras, security fence, but he boogie man continue his tricks, he gives allow to have/buy a gun so people have need to buy one and finally the people are against them self - in paranoia they kill each other.
So the meaning of this song is the warning about media, tv, computer (articles in internet, games, movies, music) - that all of this are used to manipulate us. They give us easy entertained, to force us to put away on side our thinking. They want to sleep our rational logical thinking.
Play again this videoclip and keep in mind, what just I've said.
Lovely german greets. 🙂
fear the Boogie man, great song
Headbanging.. checked..
Handbanging.. checked..
Destroying it.. checked..
I was laughing at the end also.. But song is scary really :)
As many write here, "der schwarze Mann" is the boogyman in English. However, you have to think about the time when the album and this song were created. Rammstein have always exaggeratedly made fun of the abysses of society in their songs. I think here they let society, as it has been put through the media and politics, in fear and fright as content. Note the scenes in which the television and the monitor appear (as symbols for media). The Kabels that connects theyre heads to the computer. The monitor that stretches over the heads of the subjects sitting in front of them, or the television that has frightened the band members so much that they build walls between themselves and then shoot at the television. Like the last scene in which Til destroys the television with the lawn mower.
I think the video/song is about Propaganda. Everyone is living a normal live until the media(controlled by the band representing the high class and gov) is using fear to accomplish their goals. All the fear is causing people to not trust each other anymore and isolate themselves(building of the walls and security equipment + weapons) and then the fear gets to great and people go mad causing the system to collapse. But as always with rammstein there's probably multiple messages at once (:
finally someone understand it :D
Propaganda, Populism, Fear Mongering, "News" for clicks 💵, Opinion mongering instead of news 🦊
For me the most political Rammstein song and sooooo current, unfortunately.
In Romanian culture I think it's something called 'Bau Bau' which is basically similar to Baba Yaga. (Daca imi amintesc bine de cand eram mic)
Song Request: Lacrimosa-Feuerzug (nicht Feuerzeug) Its german Gothic and this Song is absolutely amazing😍😍
My guess for the chosen colors (black, white, red) is a reference to the nazi colors (especially their flag) since the video is about propaganda.
11:22 *freaking chihuahuas* 🤘🏻
my interpretation is: "the black man" in the past was the bogeyman and now is a metaphor for foreigners and immigrants. the fear of them is fired up by some media. and security and prepper item selling firms and weapon sellers benefit from the fear.
For what is the content of the text, I believe that the word Angst should be translated here into English "anguish" (it is equivalent, however, to the word "angoscia" in my native language, Italian)
Please check out Poets of the Fall, they are a finnisch pop/rock band. They dropped a new album called Ghostlights. Choose any song, I love them all!
"Let me give my thoughts on this:
1. The song is about how certain "leaders" and media want to scare people to control them. In the video, this is visualised by the red wires, computer screens an TV. Also, the entertainig industry is helping (commercials, online shopping), represented by the cheerleaders.
2. The dominant colors in the viedeo are black, white and red, which are the colors of the flag of the Kaiserreich and the Third Reich. Also, you can say that the world the people in this video are living in, is just black and white, no grey. It can be understood as a reference to the simple minded people who are for example voting for politicians who are telling them exactly this black/white view (WE are good, THEY are bad). Also, the band is dressed up as the stereotype of this kind of conservative people. Did you noticed that the world in the video changed to color when Till destroyed the TV?
3. "Der schwarze Mann" (The black man) is a german synonym for a creepy, ghost-like evil. As in the first verse of the song, children are often told "to obey, or else the black man will get you". It can be translated to boogey man in english, but like often, there is another meaning in this context. As said, the video is about leaders who are seedeing fear of anything foreign in peoples minds. So, the phrase "black man" can also be interpreted literally, namely refugees. In my opinion, it is a reference to the migration crisis in 2015 in Germany,. Or just remember the plans for a wall on the Mexican border...
These are just the basics, everything else that is happening in the video is a result of this premisses. Greetings from Germany!"
This is not mine.
I wanna check a reaction on this clip, but I can't... I saw u... 0////0
U so cute 😳
Black is not outside, but in the soul.
Please watch Mein Herz Brent official video - very creepy... and the live version. Awesome reaction Biscute! You are a joy to watch, very honest and true reactions.
I did react to one version of that song , I am not sure is the one you mention tho
@@BisscuteReacts Sorry if I was not clear - it is the official video for the song, not the Piano version. There is also a Live version. Watching all 3 gives a nice perspective. Same goes for their song “Sonne”, watch the Live version then watch the official Video…. Completely different… LOL. Enjoy my friend.
İts actually really sad song 😕 Especially when u put it in reality.
Hey. I am German. I think it is primarily criticism of the media. And "Der schwarze Mann" = Boogeyman.
