revisiting knebel three years later, or, what i kinda disagree with zoran
a (long) music video analysis thread:

mathematik by lindemann as interpreted by math-majoring fan: a thread
why is algebra a central figure in both the song and the mv? maths is a linear subject, it starts with a strong foundation and new skills build upon each other. without mastering the basics, it'll be hard for a student to move on to more complicated and challenging materials.¹

alternate interpretations of rammstein's ich tu dir weh: a thread
this song had been censored in germany for containing graphic descriptions of bdsm acts. but like most rammstein songs, something deeper lies beneath all the violence. like how bestrafe mich, despite the bdsm-coded lyrics, is a song about the relationship between man and god.
