Rammstein Zerstören lyric with English translation

Back to the list of all Rammstein lyrics

Meine Sachen will ich pflegen
Den Rest in Schutt und Asche legen
Zerreißen zerschmeißen
Zerdrücken zerpflücken
Ich geh am Gartenzaun entlang
Wieder spür ich diesen Drang
Ich muss zerstören
Doch es darf nicht mir gehören
Ich muss zerstören
Doch es darf nicht mir gehören

Nein

Ich nehme eure Siebensachen
Werde sie zunichte machen
Zersägen zerlegen
Nicht fragen zerschlagen
Und jetzt die Königsdisziplin
Ein Köpfchen von der Puppe ziehen
Verletzen zerfetzen zersetzen
Zerstören
Doch es darf nicht mir gehören
Ich muss zerstören

Nein

Ich würde gern etwas zerstören
Doch es darf nicht mir gehören
Ich will ein guter Junge sein
Doch das Verlangen holt mich ein
Ich muss zerstören
Doch es darf nicht mir gehören

Nein

Zerreißen zerschmeißen
Zerdrücken zerpflücken
Zerhauen und klauen
Nicht fragen zerschlagen
Zerfetzen verletzen
Zerbrennen dann rennen
Zersägen zerlegen
Zerbrechen sich rächen

Er traf ein Mädchen, das war blind
Geteiltes Leid und gleichgesinnt
Sah einen Stern vom Himmel gehen
Und wünschte sich sie könnte sehn

Sie hat die Augen aufgemacht
Verließ ihn noch zur selben Nacht
I want to tend to my things
and reduce the rest to rubble
Ripping, bashing
Crushing, picking
I go along the garden fence
And feel the urge again
I must destroy
But only if it doesn't belong to me
I must destroy
But only if it doesn't belong to me

No

I'll take your belongings
I'll annihilate them
Sawing, stripping
Not asking, smashing
And now the supreme discipline
Pulling the head off a doll
Hurting, tearing, corroding
Destroying
But only if it doesn't belong to me
I must destroy

No

I would like to destroy something
But only if it doesn't belong to me
I want to be a good boy
But the desire overtakes me
I must destroy
But only if it doesn't belong to me

No

Ripping, bashing
Crushing, picking
Chopping and stealing
Not asking, smashing
Tearing, hurting
Burning, then running
Sawing, stripping
Breaking, avenging

He met a girl that was blind
Shared pain and like-minded
Saw a star go from the sky
And wished that she could see

She opened her eyes
And left him in the same night

Zerstören (Destroy) is a song about a young boy who likes to destroy other peoples belongings. This song is played quite fast and with high energy. It opens with a woman singing Turkish folk song Huma Kusu and loud slightly echoing drumming, and increases in intensity until the “end” of the song. At this point it relaxs a little, and is a bit quiet, calm and soothing. The listener hears a sad story, or (arguably) the ending to the same story:

“He met a girl that was blind, shared pain and like-minded. Saw a star go from the sky and wished that she could see.

She opened her eyes and left him in the same night.”

In the background a cute, child-like keyboard can be heard. It ends with some odd discordant notes.

this is a total aggression song. one of the reasons rammstein is the best… i can dance, thrash, smash, or become deeply emotional. they honor all of my cathartic needs.
