About This Track

'Haifisch' sits among the shuffling, cabaret-inflected moments on Liebe ist für alle da, a record that pairs the tightness of Rammstein's earlier work with more elaborate textures. The track builds its architecture around a single, darkly witty conceit: a shark weeps, but lives underwater, so no one sees its tears. It is a meditation on hidden suffering, on the impossibility of witnessing pain when it dissolves into the depths. The song's lyrics circle obsessively around the language of holding, holding together, holding fast, holding one's word, holding fire. Rammstein sets this vocabulary of loyalty and cohesion against the shark's solitary grief, the salt in the ocean explained as the accumulated tears of the deep. The contrast is the point: a band bound by ritual and mutual dependence sings of a creature whose anguish remains invisible, unknowable, drowned in the very medium that sustains it.

"Haifisch" is a single by Rammstein, from the album Liebe ist für alle da (Special Edition), released 15th October 2009. The track is 3:45 long. It's filed under Metal. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Rammstein.

Lyrics

Haifisch

Wir halten zusammen
Wir halten miteinander aus
Wir halten zueinander
Niemand hält uns auf

Wir halten euch die Treue
Wir halten daran fest
Und halten uns an Regeln
Wenn man uns regeln lässt

Und der Haifisch, der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht

Wir halten das Tempo
Wir halten unser Wort
Wenn einer nicht mithält
Dann halten wir sofort

Wir halten die Augen offen
Wir halten uns den Arm
Sechs Herzen, die brennen
Das Feuer hält euch warm

Und der Haifisch, der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht

In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Zähre fließt
Und so kommt es, dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist

Man kann von uns halten
Was immer man da will
Wir halten uns schadlos
Wir halten niemals still

Und der Haifisch, der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht

In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Zähre fließt
Und so kommt es, dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist

Und der Haifisch, der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht
