Rammstein's "Ausländer" Released: A Nostalgic Blast of Industrial Metal
25 Years of Wit and Want
After 25 years of existence, German industrial metal band Rammstein has released "Ausländer," a song that proves that a group of middle-aged men can still maintain their wit and desire to create. The track is a nostalgic throwback to the band's early days, featuring heavy guitars, pounding drums, and Till Lindemann's signature guttural vocals.
A Lyrical Journey of Belonging and Displacement
The lyrics of "Ausländer" explore the themes of belonging and displacement, with Lindemann singing about being a "stranger" in many places. He sings of his desire to feel at home everywhere, but also acknowledges the challenges of finding one's place in an often-unwelcoming world. The song's chorus, "Ich reise viel, ich reise gern / Fern und nah und nah und fern" ("I travel a lot, I like to travel / Far and near and near and far"), captures the sense of wanderlust and longing that permeates the track.
English Translation Lyrics
- I travel a lot
- I like to travel
- Far and near and near and far
- I am at home everywhere
- My language. Alien
Despite its dark and introspective lyrics, "Ausländer" is ultimately an uplifting anthem. It celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the power of music to bring people together. The song is sure to resonate with fans of Rammstein's classic sound and will likely introduce the band to a new generation of listeners.
