Tanzlehrerin

Till Lindemann's song 'Tanzlehrerin' delves into the intertwining of dance and desire, using vivid and provocative imagery to explore themes of passion and physical connection. The lyrics begin with the protagonist seeking happiness through dance, leading him to find a dance teacher with whom he not only learns to dance but also forms a deep, intimate relationship. The act of dancing becomes a metaphor for their physical and emotional connection, as they spend hours practicing and eventually making love throughout the night.

The song's chorus emphasizes the protagonist's intense feelings for his dance teacher, describing their rhythmic movements and the pleasure they derive from being together. The repetition of the phrase 'Ich hab den Schwanz wieder drin' (I have my cock back in) is both explicit and symbolic, representing the merging of their bodies and the fulfillment of his desires. The dance serves as a conduit for their passion, with the rhythm and movement mirroring their intimate connection.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's focus shifts from dance to singing when his dance teacher becomes prudish during a tango. He then finds a new source of passion with a singing teacher, continuing the cycle of desire and physical connection. This shift highlights the transient nature of his relationships and the constant search for fulfillment through different forms of art and expression. Lindemann's lyrics are unapologetically bold, using explicit language to convey the raw intensity of the protagonist's emotions and desires, ultimately painting a vivid picture of the dance between love, lust, and artistic expression.
