Rammstein: Sonne Meaning

Song Released: 2001

Sonne Lyrics

(The English translation to Sonne)

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, out

Everyone is waiting for the light
be afraid, don't be afraid
the sun is shining out of my eyes
it will not set tonight
and the world counts...

   Actually you probably wont belive me, but this song used to be about... boxing. Till changed that afterwards, at least that's what my friend suspects:
   'it lets you go hard to the floor
   and the world counts loudly to ten'
   I personally think this song is about dualistic nature of some things, compared to sun: it can warm you, but also burn you. In the video we see clearly that Snow White isn't such a nice person, slapping one of the dwarfs after they found her a gold nugget earned with hard work... Then she sniffs it in lines - like cocain (drugs reference) and gets either a 'golden shot' (lethal ammount of drug) or just goes into a coma after it. This is in big contrast to one of the dwarfs, carrying her apple and polishing it, the apple that actually was supposed to kill her since being poisoned, as the original storyline should go.

   Swastika is NOT an Egyptian symbol, it's a symbol of the Indus Mythology (modern India).
   
   Also Rammstein is NOT in ANY way a NAZI band. Just because they are German and some Americans don't seem to understand what they mean, they claim it's a NAZI band cause of its heavy lyrics. It is NOT a NAZI band so please stop spoiling Rammsteins name.

   Excuse me but the person who commented about Links 234 is wrong. its actually switched. rammstein is severely on the political left(the more liberal side) the ants represent those on the political right(the conservatives). just thought id clear that up. :T

   Hello? Who created the 'Hitler' version of this song anyway? For me, it's sounds a bit racist when calling this wonderful Germans as Nazis... Why??? Luckily they didn't do something like this to TOKIO HOTEL. Or not, I'll give them an eternal lesson...

   Check out the wikipedia page for 'Sonne': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonne_(song)
   Written for the boxer but too heavy to be used. Apparently it was playing in the background while some were watching Snow White (ever watched cartoons with music playing in the background - when they seem to sync up it's really cool) one of the members allegedly did some video editing of Snow White to do a rough music video - they stuck with the idea (rejecting many many other video ideas) and did the super awesome Snow White one properly. Yes, the Hiroshima theme possibility did come up and the lyrics did fit rather well. Rammstein LOVE wordplay (but mostly German speaking folk would understand their double entendres and other poetic manipulations), so there are so many themes that your mind can manipulate the lyrics to fit. Snow White - the bright, glittering queen that the dwarves love, worship, would do anything for...Hiroshima - 'Here comes the sun' boom! Light cooking everything and everyone, be afraid-don't be afraid, the sun that doesn't set at night.....so on and so on...

   That's ridiculous!
   I mean...Rammstein are absolutely NO NAZI, so why should they praise the swastika?

   Loved this song and I always thought it was about nuclear destruction ie the original plan with the Hiroshima scene. Even if it wasn't meant to be that way it fits so well...it explains why the world loudly counts to ten at once in an almost mourning fashion (i cant help but think to the daisy commercial), the sun bursts from human hands and folly, and lays hotly on people. It almost gives chills thinking of it that way.

    OMG, terrantry. Have you been asleep during your history-lessons? Nazis were left-winged? Who told you this shit? They were extremly right-winged.
    And as far as I know, Rammstein wrote the song "Links 2 3 4" to show everyone that they are NO Nazis, because some people tought they were.

    You guys are funny, but I think the song is about that innocent looking people may not always be so innocent.

    Oh yes, good job for fucking up with the nazi comment. Though, everyone jumped the gun on that one, do you not think? they did not say that all amreicans were calling Rammstein or any other german band nazi. oh well.

    The song "sonne" uses snow white as a metaphor for innocence. and when snow white dies in the song, its a metaphor for loosing your innocence.
    
    and in "Links zwo drei vier", the song is used to describe left wing thinkers (nazis were left wing). and if you've watched the video, the millions of ants are the left wing thinkers, and the 3 beetles are the right wing thinkers,
    to say- 3 right wingers can take on HUNDREDS of left wingers, but ultamatly, the left winged idiots will win...
    its a sad song in the sence, but definitly NOT nazi! anti-nazi if anything at all!

    What the hell, rammstein...nazi, who the hell said that? The sonne music video is a sick, twisted version of snow white, as said by Slipknot. It is about the miners getting abused by snow white who is bigger than them. They don't like it when she is murdered thoiugh, as she was like their mother, but the also see the bright side, thats where the lyrics, 'hier kommt der sonne'come in, because that means here comes the sun. Emough said methinks.

    Yes that is right, but very few people know what a Klitchkos is and the closest English word is boxer.
