Zerstören is a song by Rammstein. It is the seventh track on the Rosenrot album.
Background
- The opening line of the song, "Yar yarim, sen ağlama, ıslanır", is sampled from the song Huma Kuşu by Turkish singer Devrim Kaya.
- The song is about George W. Bush Jr. who runs around the world and destroys everything, just like a little kid. The start of the Iraq War was one of the reasons why the band decided to create this song.[1]
- In March 2004 the song was found in the GEMA database, where it was listed with the length of 4:25 as Ankara, the lines "Meine Sachen will ich pflegen, den Rest in Schutt und Asche" were also mentioned. Later that month the German magazine "Sonic Seducer" published a tracklist of the 4th album, where Ankara was listed as the fifth track.[2] Subsequently the tracklist was dismissed and the song was released only on Rosenrot under the title Zerstören with the length of 5:29.

Live performance
2016 / 2017 Tour
The song would start with all members, except for Till, being present on-stage. The sample from Huma Kuşu would be played shortly, followed by Schneider drumming and the others joining in afterwards. Flake would not be playing his keyboard during this time, instead, he would often be dancing to the music. Till would also be dancing to the music while walking to his spot. For the entire duration of the song, Till would be wearing a Middle Eastern-styled coat with matching cap. He would walk around and dance throughout the verses and refrains. Paul and Richard provided background vocals for the "Zerstören" yell throughout the performance. After the second refrain, Richard would play a guitar solo which would be loud, sharp and distorted, often leading to Till covering his ears or getting annoyed in general. A silent break would follow, with Till singing the third verse with only the keyboard as background instrument. After this verse, the other members would join in again. After the third refrain, Till would throw away his microphone and start unbuttoning his jacket. He would then remove the jacket, revealing a suicide vest underneath. Till would act distressed, sometimes putting up his hands while shaking and on some occasions even getting down on his knees. The suicide vest would then create multiple smaller explosions, corresponding with Schneider's drum hits. Till would then fall to the ground, where a sliding platform would take him backstage. There is one noted time, on 11 June 2016, where the song was performed without the special outfit. Till wore his normal stage outfit during the performance and went backstage to put on the suicide vest during Richard's solo.
Lyrics
Ja, ja, ja
Ja, ja, ja
Meine Sachen will ich pflegen,
Den Rest in Schutt und Asche legen
Zerreißen, zerschmeißen, zerdrücken, zerpflücken
Ich geh am Gartenzaun entlang
Wieder spür ich diesen Drang
Ich muss zerstören
Ja, ja, ja
Doch es darf nicht mir gehören
Ich muss zerstören
Ja, ja, ja
Doch es darf nicht mir gehören
Nein
Ich nehme eure sieben Sachen
Werde sie zunichte machen
Zersägen, zerlegen, nicht fragen, zerschlagen
Und jetzt die Königsdisziplin
Ein Köpfchen von der Puppe ziehen
Zerfetzen, verletzen, zersetzen
Zerstören
Ja, ja, ja
Doch es darf nicht mir gehören
Ich muss zerstören
Ja, ja, ja
Doch es darf nicht mir gehören
Nein
Ich würde gern etwas zerstören
Doch es darf nicht mir gehören
Ich will ein guter Junge sein
Doch das Verlangen holt mich ein
Ich muss zerstören
Ja, ja, ja
Doch es darf nicht mir gehören
Ich muss zerstören
Ja, ja, ja
Doch es darf nicht mir gehören
Nein
Zerreißen, zerschmeißen, zerdrücken, zerpflücken
Zerhauen und klauen, nicht fragen, zerschlagen
Zerfetzen, verletzten, zerbrennen, dann rennen
Zersägen, zerlegen, zerbrechen, sich rächen
Er traf ein Mädchen, das war blind
Geteiltes Leid und gleichgesinnt
Sah einen Stern vom Himmel gehen
Und wünschte sich, sie könnte sehen
Sie hat die Augen aufgemacht
Verließ ihn noch zur selben Nacht
俺のものは大事にしたい
残りのものは木端微塵に粉砕したい
引き裂き 投げ割り
踏みつぶして 引きおしる
庭の棚ぎわを歩いていると
俺は再びあの衝動に舞われた
応っ壊してやるぞ
でも それは俺のものではだめだ
だめだ
おまえたちの七つ道具を寄こせ
それを破壊してやるぞ
切り刻み バラバラにしてやる
聞きもしないで ぶちのめす
さあ これより最高の種目を見せてやる
人形の首を引っこ抜くのさ
傷つけ ばらして 見る影もなくしてやる
破壊してやる
でも それは俺のものではだめだ
応っ壊してやるぞ
だめだ
なにか壊してもよろしいでしょうか
でも それは僕のものではだめなんです
僕は真面目な男の子でいたいんです
でも 欲望に我慢ができないんだ
ぶっ壊してやるぞ
でも それは俺のものではだめだ
だめだ
引き裂き 投げ割り
臨みのつぶして 引きおしる
叩き潰しに かっぱらう
聞きもしないで ぷちのめす
ばらして 傷つける
焼き払って トンずらする
切り刻み バラバラにしてやる
へし折って 復讐してやる
男は盲目の少女と知り合った
苦しみを分かち合い 気持ちを通じ合う
男は天空に星が流れるのを見て
少女の目が見えるようになれと祈った
少女は目を開き
その夜のうちに 男のもとから立ち去った
