What's the rammstein singer trying to say?
Till Lindemann has never been one to declare himself. So, the Rammstein singer will likely leave the interpretation of the dark poem he recently published on his Instagram page open to the public. Could he be hinting at his departure from Rammstein?
More than a year has passed since the first allegations of sexual misconduct against Till Lindemann surfaced. The charges were not proven, and the investigation against the Rammstein singer was dropped. He and his band continued their performances. Only last week, Rammstein concluded their tour - after five years and 135 concerts.
However, the band made it clear in an Instagram statement two days ago that the furor surrounding the alleged misconduct of their singer had not left them unaffected. They thanked their fans, friends, and concert-goers for their support. "Every concert was a healing act for us," they shared. "We have been actively dealing with the allegations against the band since last summer. We take this process seriously, even if much of it is baseless and exaggerated."
Not only the band members, but also their families and loved ones were "hard hit by the allegations and the way the media handled them." Even though the tour is now over, "Rammstein is not over. We are not over. You are not over. The path goes on," the group declared in rare clarity.
"Everything has its time"
Now, Till Lindemann has also published a kind of statement on his personal Instagram page. However, it is much less clear-cut. Instead, the 61-year-old addresses his 1.3 million followers with a dark poem signed "With love and respect, Till."
The text is titled "Everything has its time." "Here I stand now, very ready, nothing can hold me back from leaving. The past casts wrinkles, better late than never, when it's unfortunately too late," it begins. "One should grab a hat and coat, venture out into the wide world, seek new views, away from the old, look for new shores, stained with guilt, faded in atonement, I need new colors, new stages."
Is Lindemann hinting at a departure? Perhaps even his departure from Rammstein? There's certainly room for interpretation in the singer's poetry. Even if he writes lines like: "I've never felt so alone." The poem ends with the statement: "It's not easy to leave, the time with you was really beautiful."
The text received over 100,000 likes in less than 24 hours. "We love you, Till" or "So beautiful, we're all behind you, Till," are some enthusiastic fan comments, while others react anxiously to the post, which is adorned with a photo of a seemingly drowning Lindemann: "Please don't go away!"
An explanation of what exactly he wants to express with his poem is not to be expected from the generally taciturn singer. But only time will tell.
After sharing a cryptic poem on Instagram, Till Lindemann's fans are speculating about the possible meanings behind his words. His line, "I've never felt so alone," has added fuel to the rumors that he might be hinting at a departure from Rammstein.
Despite the dark tones in his poem, Rock music fans continue to show their support for Lindemann, expressing their love and encouragement with positive comments on his post.
