RZK Interview - Lyrics

Tempelhüter, one of Herzeleid's administrators, has posted an interview with RZK in the Rammstein forum. It's fairly standard fare, aside from two things. The first is that Richard seems to revoke his previous and repeated negativity about more Rammstein albums:

In the run it was said that this would be your last album. Is that true? If not, what caused these rumors?

RZK: You never know what happened, but I really see no reason to stop. Any one of us has made a some good books on the production of stressful but very little air, and was misunderstood. We have used this time forever until we came in with the songwriting going. Perhaps it was the long break. Which means that the next album will come sooner rather than later.

The second, and most relevant to this site is his comments about the lyrics, their meaning, and individual interpretation:

As with any of your publications, the texts of your songs will surely be taken back, this time especially under the microscope. Is that outside the German-speaking really the case? Make translate fans and press bothered the lyrics and understand them?

RZK: Of course, many want to know what is in the songs and try to go even in translation. As with people with German as their mother tongue to come out here sometimes quite adventurous and idiosyncratic interpretations. Exactly for this reason we are not talking about text content. Everyone should make his own remuneration. For each of our lyrics mean something else - which is great.

But within the band talk about what you already Till's singing, right?

RZK: No, we have abandoned for the same reason very early. I saw him at the time time to respond to a text and told him what I think what it was doing. He looked at me blankly and said that I would have probably understood as something completely wrong ...

It appears that Till leaves his words open for everyone, including his band-mates.
