Saying it another way:

It's not the music and the lyrics which are bad, it's how people read it.

" Brilliant! ...I have absolutely no idea what's going on... "

Haifisch

...In the deep it is lonely
And so many a tear is shed
And it so happens that the water
In the oceans is salty

And the shark, that has tears
And they run from the face
But the shark lives in water
So no one can see the tears...

How do you read it?

I imagine a shark living in the sea, an animal who's tears cannot be seen, because it lives in the ocean

Well, I believe sharks and whales and all those animals living in the oceans are adapted to such a life.
But I don't see anything wrong, or anything that can be misunderstood in the lyrics from Haifisch.

I see Haifisch as a metafor for the band itself. Like they were telling about themselves as they are a bit scary band for some people (like a shark) but they still can cry or be sad or lonely. They had pretty hard times when making this album so I somehow think that they are telling about the process and about themselves in the song. Maybe I'm wrong but I wanna think about it that way in any case.

When you think about the other lyrics in the song it could fit to the album making process and to the band itself very well. IMO. But I would be very curious to hear the official explanation from Till Lindemann for these lyrics.

Hm, I didn't think about that - it seems like a good explanation for the lyrics

Yes Flake said something like that in an interview too. The band is the shark and the shark is not that dangerous as many people think about him and also cries sometimes. He said 10 people get killed by a coconut every year and only 3 by a shark. So a coconut is more dangerous than a shark.

That would make perfect sense IMO. But as I said I'd really like to hear the story behind the lyrics from Lindemann itself. But it would fit him very well to tell about their own feelings this way as they can be considered as a some kind of "shark" that doesn't mean anything bad but still many people hate/are scared about it.

EDIT: Ok, Alucard had find the explanation. So I was right. Ok, that was really the first thing that popped into my mind when thinking about the lyrics. Haifisch is a very good song. Also the lyrics are a bit softer.

Coconuts are scary

I'll never sit under a palm if I'm not 100 % sure that there's no coconuts left in it

Yeah, it wouldn't be very nice to get one to your head. :wacko:

They are much harder that our sculls I think.

The funniest thing is that Till also doesn't tell the other band members the meanings of the lyrics. Richard said he asked Till once many years ago and told him what he thought about the meaning of a song and Till just laughed and told him that he's very wrong.

Yes, I've heard this too.

It's a bit funny. But maybe he wants that everyone can give their own meanings to the lyrics. The lyrics are in any cese very hard to understand completely if you don't speak very good German and Lindemann's style to write them doesn't make it any easier... But he's a smart guy I think and it would be really interesting to hear what he really means with some texts. They have so many meanings though.
