Allesfresser / Aleman (Español)

Lindemann's song 'Allesfresser / Aleman (Español)' is a vivid and somewhat grotesque exploration of insatiable hunger and desire. The lyrics are filled with metaphors that equate love and need with an unending appetite for food. The repeated phrases 'Te amo te necesito' (I love you, I need you) and 'Dame mas ven y dame de comer' (Give me more, come and feed me) suggest a deep, almost primal craving that goes beyond mere sustenance.

The song's protagonist describes an obsession with food that must be 'young and crispy' and 'as tender as possible without bones.' This imagery evokes a sense of freshness and purity, hinting at a desire for the untainted and the new. The mention of various animals like calves, piglets, and lambs, as well as 'small fawns' and 'fat chicks,' adds a layer of brutality to the narrative, emphasizing the raw and unfiltered nature of this hunger. The use of the word 'omnívoro' (omnivore) repeatedly underscores the idea of consuming everything, without discrimination.

Lindemann, known for his provocative and often controversial lyrics, uses this song to delve into themes of excess and consumption. The line 'And everything is better with music' suggests that this insatiable appetite is not just for food but for experiences and sensations, all enhanced by the presence of music. The song can be seen as a commentary on modern society's endless pursuit of pleasure and the lengths to which people will go to satisfy their desires. The grotesque imagery and relentless repetition create a sense of urgency and compulsion, making the listener confront the darker aspects of human nature.
