Skirmish: Schadenfreude (@robinleaf)

Liner Notes

Apparently the word Schadenfreude has found its way in other languages than German.

Lyrics

Tränen fließen, ich muss grinsen
Dein Sturz lässt mich gewinnen
Kamera läuft, die Welt sieht's gern
Dein Leid, mein Glücksstern

Kann nicht genug kriegen
Von deinem Unterliegen

Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Dein Pech ist meine Wonne
Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Dein Schatten, meine Sonne

Sensationen, Katastrophen
Füttern unseren Hunger, offen
Hinter Bildschirmen versteckt
Wird die Dunkelheit geweckt

Kann nicht genug kriegen
Von deinem Unterliegen

Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Dein Pech ist meine Wonne
Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Dein Schatten, meine Sonne

Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Dein Pech ist meine Wonne
Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Dein Schatten, meine Sonne

Translated in English:

Tears flow, I have to grin
Your fall makes me win
Camera is rolling, the world loves to see it
Your suffering, my lucky star

Can't get enough
Of your defeat

Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Your misfortune is my delight
Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Your shadow, my sun

Sensations, catastrophes
Feeding our hunger, openly
Hidden behind screens
The darkness is awakened

Can't get enough
Of your defeat

Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Your misfortune is my delight
Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Your shadow, my sun

Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Your misfortune is my delight
Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Your shadow, my sun

Oh, for sure; the English language tends to acquire (steal!) whatever it can from other tongues. Fish has an album called Weltschmerz, which is another word that comes in very useful these days.

I'm gonna try to avoid making the obvious comparison with Rammstein; this has more subtlety. The way those crunchy guitars play against the thumping beat is very satisfying, though.

Biting music and great singing and that contracting synth section is nice.

Nicely nasty! Great concept, sound and production.
