Not clued up on your German? Here's the English translation of Rammstein's new song Radio
Less than a month after Rammstein unleashed comeback single Deutschland, they have released another single in the form of Radio. It's the second track to be released from their upcoming untitled album, due for release on May 17 via Spinefarm Records.
But they didn't just sneak the track out on Spotify and hoped nobody would notice, this is Rammstein we're talking about, and there's a high concept video to go along with it. From music halls to women having full-on sex with radios, the official clip for Radio is exactly what you'd expect from the band.
However, we don't really know what they're singing about because we failed our German exams. We're guessing it's to do with radios, but other than that, it could just be a recipe for onion soup. Luckily, the kind folk at Genius have translated the words into English so we know what Till Lindemann is actually saying. It's a tale of escapism through a radio, which as the video shows, isn't seen as a positive by everyone.
[Verse 1]
We were not allowed to belong
See, talk or hear nothing
But every night for an hour or two
I am gone from this world
Every night a bit happy
My ear very close to the world receiver
[Refrain]
Radio, my radio
I let myself suck into the ether
My ears become eyes
Radio, my radio
So I hear what I do not see
Silence secretly wanderlust
[Verse 2]
We were not allowed to belong
See, talk or disturb nothing
Every body of song was forbidden
So dangerous foreign notes
But every night a little happy
My ear very close to the world receiver
[Refrain]
Radio, my radio
I let myself suck into the ether
My ears become eyes
Radio, my radio (my radio)
So I hear what I do not see
Silence secretly wanderlust
[Bridge]
Every night I secretly climbed
On the back of the music
Put the ears to the wings
Sing quietly into the hands
Every night and again I fly
Just away with the music
Float through bright rooms
No borders, no fences
[Interlude]
Radio, radio
Radio, radio
[Refrain]
Radio, my radio (my radio)
I let myself suck into the ether
My ears become eyes
Radio, my radio (my radio)
So I hear what I do not see
Silence secretly wanderlust
