One of the most culturally significant music video of all time. Germania, portrayed as a beautiful African model, guides her country through the Roman invasions, the medieval witch trials and Crusades, the Weimar Republic, the World Wars, the occupation of the Russians, the terrorists of the 70's, and into the future where the Leonburger puppies are reborn in a future where Germany is a memory. The main theme is that the band loves their country, but cannot reconcile themselves with its violent past. "Germany, my heart is in flames, I want to love and damn you. Your breath is cold, so young, and yet so old. Germany, your love, is a gift and curse. Germany, my love I cannot give you."
Германия до сих пор оккупированна!!!!! На её территории находятся Американские оккупационные войска!!!!!!!! А Советский Союз свои то вывел!!!!!

But every Nation has their ugly; the Ancients were Masters of "difficult"; due for a rendezvous.
I love how people act like Germany has the worst history lol every group of people and nation on this planet has TERRIBLE history
She is Germania. A mythological figure representing germany
Ahhh okay that makes sense!!
Technically not mythological. Germania was germany before it was the germanic empire.
@@snmaster56 Here in G you find a lot of statues and ancient paintings showing a blond curled women named Germania as a mother of Germany. Has nothing to do with the territory. The germans on the middle european kontinent we're btw.only one tribe among many others.
@@achimschroter8046 germania is latin for germanic. Litteraly means germanic. I.e the germanic empire.
@Achim Schröter if you want to get super technical you could also say Barbaricum as germania was also a roman province for a brief time period.
This is more than movie level production. I've rarely seen a movie with this kind of production quality...

From what I understand, she represents Germania as others pointed out, & the song is about the struggle with loving your country & being proud of your nation while also being ashamed & upset with what your country has done throughout history. I believe the chaoticness of the video helps reflect that inner struggle.
Makes 100% more sense after watching it back a few times after this initial watch for sure!
Right!
To give a little context: The video shows several events in German history like the defeat of the Romans by uniting several Germanic tribes, The Hindenburg disaster, the "roaring" 1920s, RAF and of course World War II to name a few. The colored lady in every scene is Germania a personification of Germany, hence she wears red and gold to go with the German flag: black, red, gold. Also, a Important part is where the monks are eating Germania. It's suppose to symbolize how the church absolutely canabilized Germany during the middle ages. They enriched themselves while the German population starved and suffered. Not to mention the red laser that ties it all together. The texts describes the struggle of the band with the troubling past and the successes of Germany over the years. "Germany... my heart in flames, want to love and damn you". Very deep meaning. You have to know German history to catch all references.
What do laser, space ships, last sci-fi scenes, and gangs symbolise in the video?
@@osamaqtaitat I would assume the SS's (Nazi) failed space programs and rumoured energy super weapons from the WWII era. Though I'm probably wrong.
Then again there were also rumours of Nazis trying to open portals to hell at the time as well so.... Who knows...
@@dspl1991 what is “portals to hell”?
Space?
I just have a suggestion. There is no other place to burry a country. All achievements, good and bad go with her as grave gift.
Interesting what she leaves behind. The Ramstein-folk seem to be okay to take care of them :-)

I really love Rammstein for making Deutschland. So many people came into contact with our history through this song alone, its really amazing.
Epic! SHE represents Germany. Best Wishes from cologne🙋♂️

COLOGNE🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 WHAT A JOKE😂😂 Look at the Ebertplatz!! What a mess!!! And the Amt 37 is also a joke!🤪
@@goidinger6218why are you so aggressive, calm tf down. Ebert Platz might not be the best BH but it serves its (rather lackluster) purpose.
Hi, I'm from Germany.
Rammstein is playing a classic "Industrial Metal" style. A 50-50 mix of synthesizers and hard metal guitars.
A big part of the German history in one video. The black woman as Germania. Germania is the personification of the German nation. It isn't and wasn't a goddess or Joan of Arc.
The glass coffin: It is Little Snow White from the Grimm-fairytales....and from their own video "Sonne". Only with black skin and in space.
The piano song at the end is the song "Sonne", too.
The words "Germania Magna" at the beginning are a Roman name for the area of Germany, that wasn't conquered by the Roman Empire at that time.
Germania Superior and Germania Inferior were the Roman conquered areas (Roman provinces) of Germany.
The line in this song "So jung und doch so alt" (So young and yet so old) means:
Germany as a unified state is very young. A unified German nation is only existing from 1871 onwards. Before that year of unification Germany was made of countless, little mini-states and the people identified first and foremost as Prussians, Hessians, Saxons etc, etc, etc. and only in a second line of thought they had a lose sense of being somehow Germans, too, as a kind of unifying second identity.
So the area & the landscape where the Germans are living and the Germans themselves as a people...are thousands of years old. But only recently, in 1871, there was a unified Germany as one single state.
So Germany as a unified state is very young...and at the same time it is thousands of years old.
The battle of the Teutoburg forest against the Romans (and Rammstein as Roman soldiers and Germans alike).
That battle is of ABSOLUTE importance for the German history.
The hanged bodies in the trees were the beaten Roman soldiers, who were gruesome sacrificed to the Germanic gods...and were partly nailed to the trees.
The Varus-(Teutoburg)-Battle was already in 9 AD. In 16 AD were the vengeance campaigns of commanding field general Germanicus under Emperor Tiberius Augustus. Therefore we see here the arrival of the Roman troops of Germanicus and they are watching their dead comrades hanging in the trees or getting their heads chopped off (for nailing them to the trees).
In reality the Romans under Germanicus found only the bones of the Varus army in the various ways they were slaughtered, sacrificed and displayed at the trees. Slaves were liberated even decades after the battle.
After the scenes with the Romans we saw the Hindenburg Zeppelin disaster (the burning Zeppelin in the background).
The moustaches and clothing from the fight scene are from WWI and post WWI years. From the working class people in WWI and the roaring 20's. In the WWII years later on this kind of big bushy moustache was already out of fashion.
The falling banknotes in the prison are not about corruption. That scene is about the hyper-inflation of the 1920's, that took away the savings of the Germans and left them in deep poverty and desperation.
One had to pay a loaf of bread with a handcart full of nearly worthless banknotes back then and it hit the German people deep down inside and in their souls. Especially the poor ones and the simple workers.
The V2 rocket (first manmade object in space) as technical triumph of the German spirit...and at the same time the killing of the concentration camp prisoners in the bunker factories below the mountains during the production of that rocket.
This scene in the video could be a representation of a very specific concentration camp. It was "Mittelbau-Dora" below the Kohnstein mountain.
A mixture between a big, huge bunker factory for V1 and V2 rockets and a concentration camp.
The concentration camp inmates had several different markings for different kinds of convicts and their "crimes" sown to their chests, like it was in reality, too. A pink triangle for homosexuals, the star of David for Jews and two of them were marked with the double-triangles for Jehovas Whitnesses.
The book burnings of the Nazis and the burning of the witches of the church. In the same scene with the book burning there is EVEN MORE going on. The cooperation of the church with the Nazis, when the priest with the cross embraces the Nazi SA-man.
The scene with the sign with the Hammer and a pair of compasses in a circle of wheat is the sign of the GDR (DDR). The socialist German state in the east that existed before the German reunification.
Therefore it was Karl Marx in the background in the scene with the tank (not the scene at the concentration camp).
The scene with Rammstein wielding guns (the pumpgun) and taking Germania hostage was about leftwing terrorism of the 1970's. The terrorists were called the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion).
My interpretation of the red scanner-like beams: There are two different kinds of beams. The massive straight red light beam that goes up into the heavens AND there were those smaller, thinner "scanner" beams.
Aliens (or humans from the future) are scanning the whole German history. Like some real scientists are scanning and excarvating ancient Mexican or Egyptian statues, for example.
The massive red light beam is the red ribbon of time that ties together all the historical events.
PS: As for the dogs: Germans are fanatical dog lovers. We are a dog-owner nation. The dog is a firm part of Germany.
PPS: They didn't eat the body of the woman and her inner organs, even if it really looked that way. They were eating the national dish of Germany, that was put on the body of the black woman: Sauerkraut, Kassler & sausages.
In my opinion it symbolizes the church eating itself fat on the goods and values and food of Germany during the simple people (farmers, simple workers etc) lived a long time in a kind of hell of poverty and serfdom (the red fetish area below the table with Germania on it).
But that eating scene could indeed have a double meaning. It could represent the 30 years war, that was fought for religious reasons and depopulated large areas of Germany. It forced the people to commit canibalism because nobody was there anymore to produce food. Except the fat, wealthy people of the church, of course. They were still able to eat enough. Only the simple people at the bottom (farmers etc) died from hunger and had to fight and die in that war.
The 30 years war was the biggest catastrophe in Germany until WWI happened.
PPPS: The short scene with the dogs and their gas masks = WWI, where in reality animals (messenger dogs & horses) AND soldiers were wearing gas masks, too.
PPPPS: The puppies at the end are Leonberger dogs. The Leonbergers nearly went extinct during WWI and WWII.
PPPPPS: The black woman in the prison was dressed in a Prussian uniform with a Prussian helmet.
Till sings the famous, often misinterpreted, line of the "Deutschlandlied" (Song of the Germans), that is not forbidden in Germany but simply isn't sung anymore in our modern national anthem.
Till sings in his version the line "Deutschland über allen" (Germany above everybody) What is a BIG change to the real line in the orginal Deutschlandlied-song. In the original Deutschlandlied song it is written as "Deutschland über alles" (Germany above everything).
The real, whole line of that old Deutschlandlied goes "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles. Über alles in der Welt" (Germany, Germany above everything. Above everything in the world).
This line is often misinterpreted by many people as chauvinism and as a looking down upon all other countries on this planet. But that is wrong and not many people know about that in Germany and elsewhere.
The writer of that famous line didn't meant it in a chauvinistic way.
When that song was written, Germany was divided into umphteenth mini-states, what made Germany relative powerless and defenseless. Therefore the task of German unification was the goal above any other goal for all Germans (at least the writer of the song meant it that way).
So the main goal for all Germans had to be the united Germany. The goal of "(united) Germany above everything else".
That was, how that line was meant by the writer of the song.
The line isn't forbidden, like many people wrongly think. It's simply not sung anymore and not part of the official anthem of modern Germany anymore.
This has NOT its reason in the seemingly chauvinist meaning of "Deutschland über alles", like many people wrongly think. This whole stanza of the Deutschlandlied isn't sung anymore, because in other parts of the stanza are borders and landscapes mentioned, that aren't German borders and landscapes anymore.
We want to live in peace with the people and countries, who are now living in those former German lands and therefore we don't sing about those old borders and landscapes anymore.
It has nothing to do with the "Deutschland über alles" line in that stanza, like many people wrongly are thinking.
Finally:
The scenes I'm now talking about are pretty dark and low light. The WWII submarine in the submarine bunker during the astronauts are walking by with the glass coffin.
I think, the choice of the black woman as main actress was made, because:
a) it makes any accusations of racism and fascism against Rammstein useless
b) she represents one colour of the German flag and she is wearing the rest of the colours of our German flag as makeup and jewellery and clothes on her body: Black, Red and Gold
c) it provokes many people EVEN MORE 😄
Greetings

PS: CZcams didn't allow me to integrate this information into the bigger text (above) for unknown reasons, therefore I'm posting it here:
The troops, who smashed the Jewish shops during the Kristallnacht (not shown in the video) were SA (Sturmabteilung) in brown uniform and not the later SS (Schutzstaffel) in the black uniform. The SA did all the dirty work at the beginning of the Nazi rise to power...until the "Night of the long knives", an inner-Nazi power struggle, happened. The head of the SA (Ernst Röhm) was killed and from then on the SA was turned more and more into the SS under Himmler.
The book burnings were part of the early Nazi years, too, and were done by the SA, too. One can see the SA burning the books and Till is watching it in a brown SA uniform.
Both, Kristallnacht and book burnings were different things and happened at different times. The book burnings happened over a longer timespan at different locations at different times during the Kristallnacht was one big "event" that happened at one single day.
Kristallnacht means "Crystal Night" and was called that way, because the smashed shop windows of the Jewish shops looked like thousands of crystals on the ground. But in the Rammstein video I've only seen the book burnings.
PPS:
The two beer drinking soldiers to the left side of the table, where Germania is lying on and where the priests are eating Sauerkraut & Sausages from her body, are not French soldiers and they aren't representing the French revolution. Those two beer drinking soldiers are Prussian soldiers and they are emphasizing the importance of Prussia for the German history.
As far as I could see: They were from the era of Friedrich der Große (The Old Fritz), who was of extraordinary importance for German history. Amongst many other achievements he was the one, who brought the potato to Prussia and Germany. That saved many Germans from hunger and the potato became one of the most beloved foods in Germany on that way.
PS:
The name Rammstein comes from the German town Ramstein (with one "m"). There is an US-airbase and there happened a big, tragic airshow disaster, when two jets collided and fell into the audience.
Therefore all the flames and the burning coat during the song Rammstein and all the fire in their shows in general. But that rather tasteless name and the negative press echo were too much even for Rammstein. So they changed their name later in Rammstein, what indeed means "battering stone".
They delivered a half assed explanation for it decades ago. I've forgotten, what they said. A fact is, that they called themselves after that town and that airshow disaster. Probably for provocation purposes.
Their old song "Rammstein" even tells in other words the story of that disaster and it tells about a fine day with a warm shining sun...and burning people.
Neue Deutsche Härte was always a pretty unsatisfying new name for the music they made mainly: Industrial or Industrial Metal/Rock.

Rammstein's Deutschland video explained: introducing Germania
Rammstein’s Deutschland takes us on a thrilling, violent, and moving journey through German history. At over nine minutes, it gives us a panorama of events and historical and mythical figures, and there are so many references and Easter eggs that fans and commentators will be poring over it for some time to come.
The video opens in AD 16, on the ‘barbarian’ side of the limes, the border of the Roman Empire. Roman soldiers creep through the woods in the aftermath of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. The Romans were ambushed by an alliance of Germanic Tribes, led by a chieftain called Arminius (the original Hermann the German). Three legionary standards were captured, a loss symbolic and moral, as well as physical, and decades were spent trying to recover them. Rome never again attempted to take the lands east of the River Rhine, known as Germania.
‘Germania’ refers not just to a place, somewhere partly defined by where it isn’t (Rome) as well as where it is, but also to a national figurehead, traditionally representing the German people. Germania (opens in new tab) is a strong woman, usually armour-clad and battle-ready. Various symbols appear with her, among them a breastplate with an eagle, a black, red, and gold flag, and a crown. Look out for these in the video - they come up again and again - and the colours of the contemporary flag are there in every scene.
We get our first glimpse of Germania here (played by Ruby Commey), who stands holding Till Lindemann’s severed head. Next, astronauts appear carrying a metal and glass box shaped like a coffin. In the background we see a U-boat - a German submarine, used in World Wars I and II. Then we move to a scene set at a boxing match which takes us to Weimar Germany (1918-1933), a period known for its political instability but also greater cultural liberalism. Here, Germania appears in the cabaret costume of a flapper girl, and the boxers fight with knuckle-dusters as a crowd cheers them on.
Rammstein Deutschland video still
Ruby Commey as Germania
Rammstein's Deutschland video explained: Marx, Lenin and the GDR
We see the former East Germany, complete with busts of Marx and Lenin, the national emblem of East Germany (opens in new tab), and a lookalike of the long-serving, insular, and repressive GDR leader Erich Honecker. There’s another astronaut, or rather a cosmonaut: Sigmund Jähn, the first German in space, who flew with the USSR’s space program (and who’s also a character in the 2003 film, Good Bye Lenin!). Medieval monks feast grotesquely on the supine Germania, tearing sauerkraut and sausage from Ruby Commey’s body, prison inmates are beaten by guards dressed in police and military uniforms from different historical periods.
The most obviously shocking scene references the Holocaust and the Nazi period. Four members of the band, in the striped uniforms of camp inmates, wait at the gallows, about to be hanged. They wear the cloth emblems used to identify their ‘crimes’: a pink triangle for homosexual prisoners, a yellow star for Jewish prisoners, a red and yellow star for Jewish political prisoners.
This sequence, teased in an earlier promo video, has already caused controversy. Have Rammstein the right to do this? Do they trivialise the suffering of Holocaust victims? How can they justify using Holocaust imagery to promote their new video? These are important questions that are part of a much bigger debate about the ethics of using the Holocaust in art and media.
Other scenes include the band walking away from a flaming airship, referring to the 1937 Hindenburg Disaster, in which 36 people died. Rats scuttle across the floor when the monks first appear, suggesting the Pied Piper of Hamelin, a legend with origins in the 13th century.
Germania walks towards the camera in a leather jacket, gold jewellery and a string of bullets across her chest, resembling the chariot drawn by four horses (the ‘Quadriga’) on top of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. The band members’ heads are shown as white marble busts, taking us to the 19th century Walhalla memorial in Bavaria, built as German Hall of Fame, its sculpted heads of German worthies on display to this day.
In the prison, hundreds of banknotes fall from above, suggesting the devastating hyperinflation Germany suffered in the 1920s. Nazis burn books, intercut with religious fanatics burning witches. We recognise members of the Red Army Faction (also known as the Baader-Meinhof group), a militant organisation active in the 1970s in West Germany. And in a blink-or-you-miss-it exchange, we are reminded of the much-criticised relationship between the churches and the state during the Third Reich.
Rammstein Deutschland video still
Rammstein's Deutschland video explained: the finale
Each scene captures in a moment the icons of an era, and the video cuts between them more and more frenetically as it goes on. Events bleed into each other, linked by the presence of the band members and the red laser beam that appears throughout the video, a ‘roter Faden’ (red thread or central theme), connecting each event.
Germany engages with its history in a very particular way. Try to imagine the video about Britain, with Britannia played by Ruby Commey. What would the equivalent events be? Quite a few of the tableaux might be similar - Romans, Crusaders, monks, 18th-century soldiers, collarless shirts and bareknuckle boxing - but would it have the same impact?
There’s no affection, and perhaps not much hope: its pessimistic tone seems to be quite an off-brand message for post-1989 Germany, which wants to acknowledge its past critically, while also looking to its future as a state at the heart of Europe. And actually, while we get a lot of medieval and twentieth-century history, the video’s tour through the past seems to stop in the late 1980s, before the fall of the Berlin Wall and Reunification of East and West Germany. Instead, we jump into the future, where the space-suited band take Germania into the unknown, travelling in that coffin-shaped glass box.
There’s an echo of the video for Sonne, where Snow White is trapped in a glass coffin. In fact, a piano version of Sonne plays over the end credits of Deutschland. This is a useful link for understanding something of what Rammstein is doing here. In Sonne, where the band’s characters free themselves of Snow White (naturally, they’ve been her sex-slaves), only to realise that they have made a mistake and long for her return, the overwhelming feeling of Deutschland seems to be that when it comes to Germania (or Germany): you can’t love her, and you can’t live without her.
PS: I did not write the comment myself the Credit for it goes to:
Ingovonderluhe174 i just copyied for you, cause he did the best explanation that i saw on YouToube!
I appreciate the breakdown so much! Thank you for all the info 🤍
@@SlayWithBrandy You also can change the subtitles to an auto-translated version in the settings. It might be not totally perfect, but it will give you at least a better understanding of the song. In this case, they are mostly talking about the love/hate relationship of Germans with their country - because of the "intense" history.
Some channels also provide the videos with properly translated english subtitles...
Rammstein's music videos are often masterpieces with a deep meaning.
I highly recommend "Zeit", "Angst", "Sonne", "Adieu"!
Oh... and NEVER skip the intro or the ending with the credits! ;)
@@SlayWithBrandy I thought a super easy to absorb breakdown was done by the German CZcamsr three arrows. (I actually found this song and got into Rammstein bc I’m subbed to him.) I’ve read and seen other breakdowns but his was the most succinct I found.
m.czcams.com/video/sc-euVL8xQs/video.html
One thing I want to add about the controversy. In the part where we see the concentration camp they sing "oberland" (something like nation above all) which has part of a nazi motto. In the video they play smart by letting the prisoner sing it (implying some sarcasm) and add the rest of the music and video its a masterpiece and easy to see what they were trying to say and show with that
BUT the teaser they released a couple days before the video release is a different story, it show the hanging scene while singing the "oberland" part and that has received with an understandable backlash since it looks like nazi propaganda. I say that they did it that way to shock and create buzz because any publicity is good publicity, and once the full video has released most people back out of the claims. But they did deserve to be called out of it
A german newspaper (BILD) made a huge fuzz about this music video or rather a teaser that was released a week prior to this because they thought it was distasteful (especially the concentration camp scenes). In the end they just managed to bring more attention to it. And rightfully so because it's a masterpiece of storytelling about germany's rather troubled history and overboarding patriotism.
I say they deserved the backlash for the teaser since that has with some bad taste (hanging scene with oberland part as background) made to shock people, good that the final video shut up any criticism about their intentions but it has a dangerous publicity stunt
@@marpj6138 why so sensitive? Be open-minded!
@@osamaqtaitat exactly
Bad Press is sometimes good press so....
@@sollte1239 For sure, their intention has to create outrage because that would bring a lot more eyes to their release and naturally basically all condemnation became praise after the full release.
My point is that the original controversy has not without reason or blind outrage, but constructed and somewhat deserved outrage create to generate press
I'd argue this is one of best music videos ever made.
The black lady is Deutschland (Germany).
Rammstein have a hate/love relationship with Germany, that's what this song is about.
Watch also "Zeit" and "Adieu" from Rammstein. 😉
One of the best bands to have ever graced this planet ❤
That is one of the greatest work of art in the recent times. So many historic references just put in a really few time, with such a geniality... It's even hard to say anything about it in a few time.
I recommend you to find materials in internet explaining this music and video. You will certainly be thrilled!
I’m from Germany and i can say I’m agreeing with them and they are one of the best rock bands of the world for my opinion
Slay with Brandy: _Oh my lord...!_
Me: _Can’t help you now._
The Piano at the end is another Rammstein Song called "Sonne"
First time here and I really enjoyed your reaction to Rammstein, so I have decided to subscribe and I hope to see more Rammstein reactions 💕
This is the History of Germany ( Glück auf!!! ) Der Steiger Kommt !!!
The song is about the ambivalent relationship of Rammstein and many Germans to their country, because of the violent and cruel history with extensive human crimes ("red line of violence through german history"), especially in recent history. Therefore the video features various events from German history, including Roman times, the Middle Ages, witch hunting and burning, Protestant Reformation, the November Revolution, the "Golden Twenties" and hyperinflation, Nazi book burnings, the Hindenburg disaster, the First and Second World Wars, the Holocaust, the Weimar Republic, the Red Army Fraction (violent anti-capitalist terror alliance of young people and students against Nazis in high state and economy positions in post-war Germany), and the division of the country into West and East Germany including the Uprising June 17 in East Germany. The black woman represents Germany and one of the Colors of the German flags, sometimes as a victim, but mostly as a perpetrator. With her black skin she is also a provocation to all stupid racists
A lot of people do not understand the scenes with the dogs. This breed of dogs are not German Shepards, but Leonberger. This breed of dog narrowly escaped extinction during the First and also Second World Wars and is symbolic of the German people, whose existence was also strongly threatened in those wars (Morgenthau-Plan) - both now have a second existential chance, just like the new German democratic constitution, which in future must be protected as strongly as if it were under quarantine (Judges in red robes, Rammstein members in protective suits with the dogs)
The Holocaust was for this reason the greatest human crime because it was the first industrially organized mass murder in human history, by a country that was culturally at its highest point at this time and called itself the country of poets and thinkers. But it is precisely the high cultural and scientific level of Germany that unfortunately caused others to be viewed as subhuman who can be killed without pity, just like animals. Seeing other people as inferior has always brought a lot of suffering to people
Rammstein is one of the most famous metal bands and are living legends with the same line-up for nearly 30 years. They are a german band and are considered the best live band in the world, especially when it comes to showmenship, pyro and fire. Above all, Rammstein uses pyro quite differently than all other bands.
Rammstein's music is a mixture of techno (electronic music) and metal (= industrial metal), although Rammsteins origins are in punk music. Rammstein concerts are a life time experience that you will never forget. Their videos are art but also often controversial.
Rammstein also refers to classical German literature, e.g. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's. Several of their songs are related to controversial and taboo subjects such as sadomasochism, homosexuality, intersexuality, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, cannibalism, pyromania, religion and sexual violence. Also several of their songs are allegedly inspired by real-life events or politics. Rammstein lyrics are very deep and are also often used in school and universities around the world to learn German. There are people who learn German only because of Rammstein. Rammstein fans are considered to be the craziest and most fanatical fans in the world. In concerts from the hardcore fans all over the world it is expected that you can sing along with the German lyrics even if you don't speak German.
Rammstein - Adieu
The song and video takes us through the history of Germany: the good, bad, and ugly!! Germania was a mythical figure in German lore from which Germany was born and the basis fir German identity. The concentration camp scenes are meant to show a horrible part of history rather than deny or forget it ever happened so that those same mistakes/atrocities can't be committed again. They bounce around and the space scenes are meant to represent not only German participation in the space program today, but the many German engineers like Werner Von Braun who helped to get us to space in the first place!!
Love your channel Brandy!! History is also one of my favorite subjects!! I also speak German and love this song!!
Of course (!!!) Rammstein deal critically with their country. Finding a translation on the net is easy, the text is very impressive and clever.
Nightwish Ghost Love Score Wacken 2013
Pls react to Rammstein
- Zeit
- Adieu
- Angst
the melody at the end is the piano version of sonne (sun). another great song by them. the budget for the production of this video was at 1.500.000 US-Dollar
knowing at least two languages makes u reflect ur mothertongue ... it provides context knowledge ... immitating is the best way to learn a Language I say
Rammstein's (Till Lindemann's (?)) fear, lothing, shame, embarrassment, and love for his country. This portrays the overall conflict between good and evil, evident in so many scenes. What a remarkable, intense, fascinating production.
Some more reactions to Rammstein are definitely in order. I look forward to seeing more. Thank you Brandy!
One of the best music videos ever. Period.
This is how history should be taught.
Such an amazing video, one of the best I've ever seen. And so much depth and meaning; I learned not that long ago that there's even significance in which eye the beautiful woman is wearing the patch over............!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have seen this well over a hundred times and I still find new details every time. The song in the credits is "Sonne" which will also mess you up. You have my sympathies.
For a lot of Germans, this song hits really hard for many reaosns. For one, it's simply a banger song. But it also pretty accurately conveys the feelings many people have about their home. A country that has played an oddly important role in science, philosphy, music and literature. But also in warfare, genocide and imperialism, causing not only the holocaust but also two of the bloodiest conflicts in history.
Being patriotic is (for good reaon IMO) still frowned upon in Germany and this song is about the struggle between the rational dislike and the irrational affection for the country.
"causing not only the holocaust but also two of the bloodiest conflicts in history."
one. laying the blame for WWI on one country alone is ignoring history.
@@Seygem sure it is
By that logic pretty much all countries should be hated as they have all commited atrocities and murdered millions of people in the past.
What is important, in my opinion, is that it's the past. We are not responsible for what happened but we _are_ responsible for making sure history doesn't repeat itself.
There's absolutely *nothing* wrong with being patriotic about and proud of Germany.
If you can't do that, that's your thing. But you may not just tell other people what they should and should not be proud of!
@@srccde Noone told you what to do or feel.
@@Seygem "Being patriotic is (for good reaon IMO) still frowned upon in Germany and this song is about the struggle between the rational dislike and the irrational affection for the country."
How would you interprete that statement, then?
Always lyrics, always outros, next "Adieu" (just releases), "Zeit", and be prepared for their Live Shows..They are The Best! they are certified pyrotecnicians, after early accident on their career.. Why not "Engel", etc..Maddison Square Garden.. then explore more.. Their videos, as you see, are the best as well! Always try to understand the meaning, with Lyrics! Comments are turned off by their option..not monitized..they do this in name of Art! @Bucksttabu and @educatedmarine are two channels for subtitles of Rammstein Videos.. The message is always very powerfull..except, 2 or 3, where they try to have no other interpretation..They go from serious, funny, emotional.
Bitte mehr RAMMSTEIN 😍🔥🤘🏼💯❤️
It is very symbolism heavy. It is best served to well informed customers...
He's a poet that could also be why it sounds so nice to you.
Rammstein are THE G*O*A*T*S* from Germany ^^
To see the available subtitle tracks, click on settings (the gear), choose subtitles/CC. Usually english is at least autogenerated/machine translated available.
The central lines of the song are "Deutschland! Meine Liebe kann ich dir nicht geben." ("Germany! I can't love you"), "ich will dich nie verlassen, man kann dich lieben, und will dich hassen" ("I never want to leave you, one can love you, and wants to hate you") and "Will dich lieben und verdammen" ("[I] want to love you and damn you"). The song is about the dichotomy of most german's feeling toward Germany. And Germany's history is the reason for that, it was horrible even before the obvious. And it reverberates into the present.
The piano piece at the end is an interpretation of one of their other songs, "Sonne."
Rammstein is always very poetic and open for interpretations, and they always want to provoke. The most accepted interpretation of the black woman is that she's Germania, an anthropomorphised Germany (compare to Uncle Sam).
The song is an instant classic. It is far from their best song musically, but the lyrics and the feelings many germans get when hearing them are powerful.
The piano part in the end is a piano version of the song "hier kommt die Sonne" from them. And Rammstein is knowen for their high production value in music videos and live shows
its off there album called " Klavier " hole album is piano covers of some of there great songs :)
How to get the lyrics in english (and why it is so hard to translate Rammstein's songs):
If you want to see English subtitles, switch on subtitles (even if they are only available in German), go to settings, click on subtitles, if no English subtitles are available, choose automatic translation and then English. The automatic translations are sometimes a bit rough and imprecise but normally sufficient to get the main sense of the lyrics.
In case of Rammstein, precise translations of the lyrics is hard work, because they are playing many times with double meanings of words or slightly modify common German expressions and symbolic language pictures to invert or change their meanings. (That is even used in the very simple lyrics of "Du hast".)
Ran across your reaction randomly. You earned my like for recognizing the weight of the subject even if you didn't understand what was going on and most importantly, you watched the credits. *Always* watch Rammstein credits as they're part of the whole experience. In the case of this video it's needed to bring you down after the intensity of the video itself.
Thank you
The most shocking scene to me is at 8:15. I believe it shows the remains of someone burn to death.
Rammstein you said it absolutely correctly awesome Brandy
She represents "Germania" the country itself, and all that happened there is to show what happened to this country in history. Also there's the extreme side on both political side, obviously the Nazis(yeah f. them) and the RAF(yeah f. them too).
Here is a Translation by a German :
YOU ( you have, you have, you have, you have) cried a lot.
Seperated in the mind, (seperated. seperated. seperated, seperated) united in the heart. (United, united, united, united)
WE (we are, we are, we are, we are) we are together for a long time. Your breath cold (so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold). The Heart in flames. (So hot. So hot. So hot. So hot.) YOU. (You may, you may, you can, you can.) I. (I know, I know, I know, I know). WE (We are, we are, we are, we are). YOU. (You are, you are, you stay, you stay). GERMANY! My heart in flames. Want to love you and condemn you. GERMANY. Your breath cold, so young and yet so old. GERMANY. I (you hate, you hate, you hate, you hate). Never want to leave you. One can love you. (you love, you love, you love, you love. ) And want to hate you. (you have, you have, you hate, you have). Overbearing, Superior, take over, commited, surprise, raided, GERMANY! GERMANY! OVER ALL! (Germany.) My heart in flames. Want to love you and condemn you. GERMANY! Your breath so cold. So young and yet so old. GERMANY. Your love is a curse and blessing. GERMANY! My love, i can't give you. GERMANY!
GERMANY! YOU! I! WE! YOU! Overwhelming, Redundant, sick of Übermenschen. The higher you climb, the farther you fall. GERMANY, GERMANY, ABOVE ALL! GERMANY. You heart in flames. Want to love and condemn you. GERMANY! My breath so cold. So young, and yet so old. GERMANY. Your love is a curse and blessing. My love i can't give you. GERMANY.
You’re so pretty! Luv ya girlie! Great reaction and comments. Hugs and kisses.
Awww thank you! 🤍
Here the lyrics in english:
You (You have, you have, you have, you have)
Have cried a lot (Cried, cried, cried, cried)
Separated in spirit (Separated, separated, separated, separated)

(You can, you can, you can, you can) I (I know, I know, I know, I know) We (We are, we are, we are, we are) You (You stay, you stay, you stay, you stay)
Germany - my heart in flames Want to love and damn you Germany -

Germany - your heart in flames Want to love and damn you Germany - my breath's cold So young, and yet so old Germany -
your love Is a curse and blessing Germany - my love I can't give you Germany!
Rammstein really uses a lot of symbols in this song. The real meaning only emerges with the lyrics and the video together. You really have to analyze it more closely and then you will understand the deeper meaning. In this song the Middle Ages, the time of the Romans, the GDR - these historical events are presented in different roles. Of course, the theme of the Nazi era and the persecution of the Jews is also addressed, although its presentation does not differ from the style of the other scenes. A constant in the entire video is a woman who appears as a personified Germany in the different epochs. If you know this woman is representing germany and looking to the video again you will see so much more. I think, the choice of the black woman as main actress was made, because: it makes any accusations of racism and fascism against Rammstein useless, she represents one colour of the German flag and she is wearing the rest of the colours of our German flag as makeup and jewellery and clothes on her body: Black, Red and Gold. Sometimes as a victim, sometimes as a perpetrator. In the text there are also several sections that contradict each other, e.g. "Will love and damn you". Statements like these express Germany's good and bad sides on the one hand. One of the passages like "so young and yet so old". This means that German history began early. But through certain events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the founding of the GDR through which a new era began for Germany. "one can love you and yet hate you!" It is a question of whether you can be proud of your country or not. "Your love is a curse and a blessing. I cannot give you my love." Germany is aware of the good but also dark times and many see the dark times as so extreme that it is difficult to give your country your love and pride. I must have overlooked a few things in the video, but those are the parts that stand out. I was born and raised in Germany myself and feel the same when it comes to being proud of my country. As for the dogs: Germans are fanatical dog lovers. We are a dog-owner nation. The dog is a firm part of Germany. They didn't eat the body of the woman and her inner organs, even if it really looked that way. They were eating the national dish of Germany, that was put on the body of the black woman: Sauerkraut, Kassler & sausages. it symbolizes the church eating itself fat on the goods and values and food of Germany during the simple people (farmers, simple workers etc) lived a long time in a kind of hell of poverty and serfdom (the red fetish area below the table with Germania on it). But that eating scene could indeed have a double meaning. It could represent the 30 years war, that was fought for religious reasons and depopulated large areas of Germany. It forced the people to commit canibalism because nobody was there anymore to produce food. Except the fat, wealthy people of the church, of course. They were still able to eat enough. Only the simple people at the bottom (farmers etc) died from hunger and had to fight and die in that war. The 30 years war was the biggest catastrophe in Germany until WWI happened. he short scene with the dogs and their gas masks = WWI, where in reality animals (messenger dogs & horses) AND soldiers were wearing gas masks, too.The puppies at the end are Leonberger dogs. The Leonbergers nearly went extinct during WWI and WWII.
This is Germany history and he's speak German !
Credit song was from "Sonne" song
Rammstein is pure art. And yes they can do it on other videos too. "Zeit" or "Adieu" - just to mention more masterpieces. But Rammstein is the best live! Most insane shows in the world. You will be shocked ;D. And if you want to continue your journey with another mindblowing band, please check out Nightwish "Ghost Love Score" live from Wacken 2013. You will meet the goddess valkyrie of Metal. And be blown away!
Just recently reacted to Adieu!
@@SlayWithBrandy Haha I saw it 🫠. Then you need Nightwish. Trust me. 🤩🤩🤩
The woman is the representative of Germany. Remember, Germany started because of King Henry the Fowler back in the 9th century CE
Another really good visual song is called soon sonne
"wtf just happened?" is basically how we reacted to that whole thing.
YUP lol
No one ever comments that it's the Hindenburg burning behind them as they all walk towards the camera.
Also the lady on the table being eaten is Germania,and they are devouring Germany,in essence.
As to the puppies,my take on them is that Germania is giving birth to the Dogs of War.
Oh dang i missed that!
Hey there, when there are subtitles there is an option to auto-translate them to english. Just click on that little ghearwheel-icon :)
Some explanations most of the people do not point out: The astronauts symbolize people from outside looking at germanys history and also experiencing the present and the future. They see the birth of a new germany represented with these dogs / puppies. In the beginning Germania / Germany has a german shepherd (representing pure blood) and later she gives birth to puppies that are mixed dogs (Leonbergers, to be clear), not pure blooded shepherds which might symbolize that Germany went over with all the old fights for the arian race in the Nazi era.
Amazing history of Germany in one music video.
I think she was the first ever dark leader of Germany in like 14-1500 if I am not mistaken. And it is a true history lesson of how Germany was founded and all the things.
You need to do their song "Rammstien" live in Chicago Soldier field, I was there and they put on one hell of a concert. Their concerts are in the same class as Pink Floyd, they go all out with lights and pyrotechnics. You will enjoy it.
A very brief history of Germany. The woman is Germania. The personification of Germany and the German people. The dogs were a famous German breed of dog. The opening scene depicts the Germanic tribes' victory over the 17th, 18th, & 19th Roman Legions led by Varus. All 3 legions were wiped out in the Battle of the Teutoburg Wald in 16 AD. The Germans hung Roman corpses from trees, decapitated some, and nailed their heads to trees (Leader singer Till Lindeman was the bodiless head throughout the video)
The song is not only about the Nazi era. It's about all the history of Germny since back to the time of the Roman Empire. "Deutsch", the word itself means only "people" and was a label for the population in that era, that never shared a common identity or statehood until 1871. "Im Geist geteilt, Im Herz vereint" (divided in our minds, united in our hearts) refers to to this fact, not only to the division into 2 states from 1949-1989. German history is full of fratricide: wars between small feudal states, then the 30-years-war between Catholics and Protestants, the peasants wars, the division by Napoleon, the ongoing division after the liberation from Napoleon, the foundation of the Prussian controlled German Empire, excluding Austria, the brutal latent civil war in the Weimar Republic, which divided the people along political lines... the singer and writer of the songtext is full of pain watching the history of his homeland. Like everybody he wants to love his homeland, but just can't due to the history and present and the fact that his love might be misused. He's angry at his homeland, disappointed but still can't let it go. Is still staying and fighting for its soul, so it can become a country one day he can love and can be proud of.
The outro is Sonne - Rammstein
czcams.com/video/IjGNTqAW58E/video.html&ab_channel=RammsteinOfficial
It is a love/hate letter to a homeland (Germany) that has historically often been powerful and a center of global culture, but that has historically also committed unforgivable sins and been a source of barbarism.
What videos to watch from Rammstein? I have a few suggestions.
If you want to see their (incredible) live performances I would suggest (in this sequence)
Rammlied (live from Madison Square Garden)
Du hast (live from Paris)
Engel (live from Madison Square Garden)
Ich tu dir weh (live from Madison Square Garden) (don't take the lyrics to serious)
Amazing official videos from their last album "Zeit" in sequence of the tracks on the album:
Zeit (Time) slow, dark, melancholic
Zick Zack (Snip Snap) catchy song, sarcastic, funny
Angst (Fear) very Rammstein, scary, credits at the end are helpful to understand the message
Dicke Titten (Big Boobs) heavy (most of the time), catchy, funny, credits are funny too (my view)
Adieu (Goodbye) dark, sometimes heavy, emotional
I wish you to enjoy your Rammstein journey.
Every time I watch the video I pick up something new. The lyrics are fairly simple, the meaning behind all of it in the video though is something else entirely.
Yeah indeed, she's representing the personification of germany throughout its history. not just our horrible past of ww2 but way earlier, recent days and the future (that part is just to point out that the video is showing some kind of timeline through all kind of dates and era's) - the main message of the song is like "germany - want to love you want to damn you - your love is curse and blessing"
Its about our countries historical epochs that happened to affect not only the nation but the world by huge amounts. Some in a good, others in a very bad way.
You are confused? Yes, me too. But Rammstein committed themselves to the task to represent the history of Germany, which started sometime around 400 A D. But Germany as it is today was only founded 1871. Before it was some incredible complicated amalgam of some dozens of entities which were somehow forced together into some empire which was some try of reanimating the ancient Roman Empire 500 years dead that time. In its very turmultuous history there were many atrocities, the idea of the German Reich (represented by the black lady - black perhaps not to look like being racist somehow) was many times abused to gain some personal victory. There are many black spots in German history, only the best known being Hitlers 3rd Reich and the Holocaust.
Rammstein presented all these black spots in a brilliant way and therefore the lines "I want to hate and forgive you" and "my love I can`t give you".
Well, that`s a very deep song and as a German I can accept and acknowledge the message very good. They did a very good job!
Ты (ты много х4)
Ты много плакала (плакалах4),
Расколотая душой (Расколотая х4),
Единая сердцем (единая х4).
Мы (мы былих4)
Были вместе очень долгое время (все вы х4),
Твоё ледяное дыхание (так холодно х4),
Это сердце пылает (так жарко х4).
Ты (ты можешь х4),
Я (я знаю х4),
Мы (мы естьх4),
Вы (вы останетесь х4).
Припев:
Германия! Моё сердце пылает,
Желаю любить и проклинать тебя.
Германия! Твоё ледяное дыхание,
Такая юная, при этом столь древняя.
Германия!
Я (Ты много х4),
Я никогда не захочу покинуть тебя,
(Ты плачешь х4).
Кто-то способен любить тебя
(ты любишь х4)
И хотеть ненавидеть тебя
(ты ненавидишь х4).
Самовлюбленная, высокомерная,
Покоряющая, сдающаяся,
Неожиданно, вторгающаяся,
Германия, Германия превыше всего.
Германия! Моё сердце пылает,
Кто-то способен любить и хотеть проклинать тебя.
Германия! Твоё ледяное дыхание,
Такая юная, при столь древняя.
Германия! Твоя любовь
Проклятье и благословение
Германия! Мою любовь
Я не могу дать тебе
Германия!
Германия!
(Ты. Я. Мы. Вы)
(Ты) Могущественна излишне,
(Я) Устал от сверх-людей,
(Мы) Кто выше поднимается, больнее упадёт,
(Вы) Германия, Германия превыше всего.
Германия! Твоё сердце пылает,
Я хочу любить и проклинать тебя.
Германия! Моё ледяное дыхание,
Такая юная, при столь древняя.
Германия! Твоя любовь
Проклятье и благословение
Германия! Мою любовь
Я не могу дать тебе
Германия!
This is a living testament to history. It is the unblinking eye of truth that holds up the facts and allows them to be a source of pride or shame, as to their own validity, throughout time. To hide history, to deny it ever existed is the worst type of abuse to those who gave their lives to it. They are victimized all over again, in that denial and willful ignorance. This song is the opus of the reasoned human. Given the unblinking facts of a thing and then allowed to make informed decisions with those facts. It begins with the greatest pride of the ancients defying the pinacle of power, Rome and through the telling, enlightens the viewer to the good and the bad, from the rot from within, to the horrors of the Holocaust.................. The singer finally makes the decision that he cannot love her. (Germany) This sentiment, part of the global movement away from Nationalism. While Nationalism, is and of itself is not a bad thing, blind Nationalism is and ever was. .......... The Singer, the student or child is made to endure and or experience these moments in history, great and sorrowful, under the tuteledge of the mother, the woman, representing the embodiment of Germany.
It is said that the synthesizer sound at the beginning of the song has a lot of similarities with Anne Clark's "Our Darkness". Maybe even too much? Anne Clark thought it was great anyway.
That is the History of Germany - Greeting from Berlin ( Germany )
The video is a mesh of all Germanic history. The song is a message of the conflict one may have within them selves to try to find pride in their nation, dispite some of the dark history it may have once stood for. As someone else previously stated, the woman in this video stands for Germania.

The dogs near the end are Leonbergers they are a German dogbreed which almost were going to be extinct during WW1&2. luckily to breeders saving them these amazing dogs still exist.
What I interpret of this and what I read about it is that Germany as country was also going to be extinct in a different way. I don’t know if you remember or know the Morgenthau-Plan which basically was the plan to turn Germany into a agricultural country stripping it from all its capabilities to become what it’s now.
So I see it as a second chance we got as Germans (because the Morgenthau-Plan luckily didn’t go of the planning board)just as the Leonbergers did.
So yeah second chances is what I interpret
It basically all about german history and there is a part in the lyrics thats says history so old yet so yung bcs of their resets troughout histoy with wars etc
Vice versa actually sry so yung yet so old
In the credits it says the woman played the role of Germanica.
So she is the personification of Germany itself.
In the video they skip back and forth through history.
We see the failed roman invasion, the Hindenburg disaster, the holocaust, east germany, the v2 rocket launch, the book burning, Bader Mainhoff, the weimar republic etc, etc. .
They also hints of Germanys possible future, (the space people)
The fact that Germanica gave birth to dogs, highlights how germany have breed more breeds of dogs than any other nation.
The puppies in the videos are Leonbergers i think.
The girl in glass coffin floating through space is snow white, as that is a German fairy tale.
Hope that can shed some light on parts of the video.
Also the song in the credits is a piano version of Rammsteins song 'Sonne' (originally written as an entrance song for boxer
Vitalij Klitschko, fun fact since you pointed out your Ukrainian heritage)
A youtuber called Three arrows has a good analysis video of the historical stuff in the video.
Kunst muss anecken und provozieren. Rammstein ein Gesamtkunstwerk und Lindemann ein Ausnahmekünstler. Der Song u.das Video "Deutschland "ein Ritt durch die deutsche Geschichte ,gehört definitiv in jeden Geschichtsunterricht.
Have you seen Aurora? The universe loves her. So will you. As a little girl in Norway she spent a lot of time alone in the forest with the animals day and night and has always been special. She was terrified of performing at first but wanted to share her thoughts. You can see that in her performance of Runaway at the Noble Peace Prize concert. Contrast that with Cure For Me. I’ve watched everything I can find that you’ve done. But I hesitate to subscribe to anything because I’m frankly becoming mentally deficient and not sure what I’m doing sometimes. Not to worry; it’s okay. I don’t have to claim responsibility for anything I don’t remember. It makes me happy to see you. Bless you dear. PS. Edit here - I did find more stuff of yours that I forgot I found. I’ll check it out.
If there are subs in a video you can ALWAYS change the language by clicking on the "gear".
This song is essentially about how he wants to love his homeland, but he can't fully give it his all because of its extremely checkered past.
The space people represent an alien race from the future who came long after we're all dead and gone. Basically they're speculating as to how they would view Germany knowing all the horrible things that happened there.
The end credits bit is a solo piano version of another song of theirs called "Sonne" (Sun).
and then its the 20,s again and there is another failed coup plot.. just like 100 years ago...
im not sure if the news catches it where you where from but it was only a week ago.. where 50+ people where arrested for planning a coupe in germany..
its just one of those nations im not sure about..(living next door)
Maybe the most epic music video ever made.
There is alot to this song/video that alot of ppl don't understand. Myself included. It's a beautiful song and a very sad video.
Chorus says:
"Deutschland, mein Herz in Flammen
Will dich lieben und verdammen
Deutschland - dein Atem kalt
So jung, und doch so alt
Deutschland - deine Liebe
Ist Fluch und Segen
Deutschland - meine Liebe
Kann ich dir nicht geben"
meaning
"Germany, my heart is in flames,
I want to love and curse you
Germany - your breath is cold
so young, and yet so old
Germany - your love
is a curse and blessing
Germany - my love
I can't give it to you"
'nuff said.
Rammstien can't offend me because their music is subtle and passionate. Delicate yet brutal. A total audio and visual experience and a authenticity yet to be bettered.
You need to react more their music. Rammstein live’s are amazing. So if u react more u should react live versions! My fav r maybe engel
For future reference, you can change subtitle language by clicking the settings icon (the gear)
ignore all the details in the comments.
the song is pretty much about the most important historical steps in germany.
the main phrase in the song is "so young, yet so old".
old because of the long history, and young because of germany "rebirth" after world war 2.
sure, there is more to it, but thats pretty much the main meaning behind the video and the lyrics.
With your eastern background "Radio" might resonate with you. Background for Radio: Those 6 boys grew up in the GDR and were in their 20s when the wall came down. BTW educatedmarine has videos with english subs.
Thank you!!
"She" is the representation of germany in all the times. From the roman times (The first scene is "Battle of the Teutoburg Forest" - September 9 AD) to the 1980th...
...and the song + the video is about the history of germany.
🎞 Couple of fun-ish Rammstein vids you might enjoy are the MV versions of Zick Zack & Dicke Titten 🎞
You can change the subtitles to auto translate in the settings icon on the right of the subtitle button.
This song is about their love/hate relationship with their home country, Germany.
This was their first song in ten years, and the teaser they showed for this video was them in the striped uniforms at the gallows.
It obviously was very controversial, but then everyone was blown away by the song and video when it debuted.
Key moments in German history, past present and future.
I feel that it's a history of Germany
Don't you ever skip a Rammstein outro till it's finished!!
this was my first react from them ever i didnt know at the time D:
This is kind of WW2. Never Forget. Every people need to Help Their olders who have suffer from the War❤.
No More War please😓🙏
🤍🤍
I took German in school but that was along time ago so i really don't know what they were singing about but i loved the beat that was pretty cool 😎 i didn't understand the video but again the beat 👍
The black woman (Ruby) simply represents Germania in the whole video and you can see, she has always the colors of the German flag on her. Black-Red-Gold (or the old flag black-white-red - that are exactly the same color the Nazi flag had...). And its all about the hitory of Germany / Germania back to 16 ad. You can interpret so much from the video that it almost takes an essay to explain it all or find the clues.
