1) The slavic way of spelling "America"
2) A song performed by Rammstein in their album "
Reise, Reise" (Arise, Arise). While the song appears to be patriotic in the American sense, the deeper message is anything but patriotic; the lyrics clearly parody the sense of American patriotism, but many critics have argued that
Rammstein's message in the song was to satirize the widespread adoption of American Culture spread throughout the world (as suggested by the Asian monks eating American fast food in the song's music video). As with many of Rammstein's songs, the message about America isn't entirely clear; but
one thing's for certain: It definitely isn't praise for America.
"We're all living in Amerika
Amerika ist
wunderbar ('is wonderful')
We're all living in Amerika
Amerika, Amerika"
~ Possibly an emphasis on how the widespread imitation of
American culture has influenced countries all around the world, and therefore "we're all living in America". Another subtle yet powerful message that's a defining characteristic of
Rammstein's music; there's always a deeper meaning.
