Rammstein

What the Song Is About: Light as an Overwhelming Force

Sonne begins with a direct count, almost like the preparation for a blow in a boxing ring. The sun soon becomes more than a source of warmth: its light can dazzle, press down, and burn, giving a simple image an imposing and threatening weight.
