More from the album · Liebe ist für alle da
In context
The album breaks the pattern: the title is a full sentence, not a single word, and the song that carries it comes almost at the end.

Our reading
The working title was “Augen zu” (eyes closed), and in February 2012 a demo under that name circulated: programmed drums and different lyrics, with material partly reused in “Wiener Blut”, from the same album. Two songs that share an origin that was never explained. Live, moreover, the last line changed from the ending of the studio version.
The archive's interpretation, not an official account.
The song that lends the album its name
Rammstein usually titles their albums with a single, loaded German word — Sehnsucht, Mutter, Zeit. This album breaks the pattern: the title is a full phrase, and the song carrying it sits in ninth position, near the end.
The working title was “Augen zu” (“eyes closed”), and in February 2012 a demo under that name circulated publicly: it had programmed drums and different lyrics from the final version, material that was partly reused in “Wiener Blut,” the album’s seventh track — two songs on the same record sharing an origin the band never publicly explained. In live performances, the song’s final line also changed from how the studio version closed.
