I want
I want, I want you to trust me
I want, I want you to believe me
I want, I want to feel your eyes
I want to control every heartbeat
I want, I want to hear your voices
I want, I want to disturb the silence
I want, I want you to see me clearly
I want, I want you to understand me
I want, I want your imagination
I want, I want your energy
I want, I want to see your hands
I want to drown in applause
Do you see me?
Do you understand me?
Do you feel me?
Do you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
Can you feel me?
I don't understand you
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
Can you feel me?
I don't understand you
I want

We want you to trust us
We want you to believe us completely
We want to see your hands
We want to drown in applause
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
Can you feel me?
I don't understand you
Can you hear us?
Can you see us?
Can you feel us?
We don't understand you
I want
I want

SONG MEANING

“Ich Will” means “I want,” and Rammstein turns this simple phrase into a thunderous manifesto of desire and control. From the very first chant, the singer demands trust, belief, applause, and even the crowd’s heartbeat, painting a picture of a performer who craves total connection. The call-and-response lines—“Könnt ihr mich hören? / Könnt ihr mich sehen?” (“Can you hear me? / Can you see me?”)—show how fame can feel like shouting into an echo chamber: the star is desperate to be felt, yet unsure if anyone truly understands.

At the same time, the song pokes fun at mass media and celebrity culture. The repeated “Ich versteh euch nicht” (“I don’t understand you”) flips the spotlight back on the audience, hinting that the relationship between artist and fan is a two-way puzzle. With pounding guitars and military-style rhythms, Rammstein dramatizes how easily crowds can be stirred, directed, and swallowed up by applause. “Ich Will” is both a high-energy rock anthem and a sharp commentary on how we all chase attention—and how that chase can leave us feeling strangely unheard.
