Schwarzes Glas (Black Glass) English
Rammstein · Other Songs - Rammstein
we are victims of a bad trick
black glass is everywhere
we are guilty because we are ugly
Black glass, the light blinds me
a small wish, oh if you were blind
black glass, and I see my face again
what can I do since we are ugly?
In front of the middle of a deep fall
and under masks, fades smooth
black glass is everywhere
how beautiful you were is forgotten
Black glass, the light blinds me
a small wish, oh if you were blind
black glass, and I see my face again
what can I do since we are ugly?
Schwarzes Glas (Black Glass)
Rammstein's "Schwarzes Glas" stands as a pivotal moment in the band's evolution, marking their transition from industrial metal to a more complex, orchestral sound. Released in 2004 on the album *Mutter*, the track exemplifies the group's signature blend of heavy distortion, rhythmic precision, and theatrical intensity. The song features a haunting melody that contrasts sharply with the band's typically aggressive delivery, showcasing their ability to manipulate atmosphere and tension. As a key component of their discography, it highlights the influence of German Neue Deutsche Welle and industrial music on their later work, cementing their status as pioneers of modern heavy metal. The recording remains a defining example of the band's mature sound, characterized by layered vocals and a dark, cinematic aesthetic.
