Not for kids
Necrophilia, grave desecration, graphic decomposition, ritualistic violence
Detailed Analysis
These lyrics, from Rammstein's 'Heirate mich' (Marry Me), depict necrophilia and grave desecration in graphic detail. The narrator digs up a deceased loved one, kisses her decomposing corpse, attempts to embrace her as her skin tears apart, engages in implied sexual activity with the remains ('die Nacht ist heiß und wir sind nackt' - the night is hot and we are naked), and ends by decapitating a rooster in a ritualistic manner. While grief is the emotional backdrop, the content involves disturbing decomposition imagery, implied necrophilia, and ritualistic violence. There is no explicit profanity or drug use, but the sexual and violent themes tied to death and desecration are extremely disturbing and wholly inappropriate for younger audiences.
