The song is about desperation for love. As he searches for kindness (true love), he finds Hitler in his heart (his overwhelming desire to be loved hurts him). The last lyrics: "And I find Hitler in my heart, from the corpses flowers grow" are him trying to convince himself that he is worth loving though he feels he isn't."
The song is about more than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which surely has a lot to do with the victimization of Jews. It speaks of incorporating the radical other (and what is more marginalized and abused than Hitler imself?) into the center of one's intimate being. Hitler stands as the personification of otherness so horrifying that it pushes one to rethink the firm boundaries of good and bad, which now allow for new violence in the name of the humanitarian good.
2. Hitler war absolut schlimm aber es war vor 50 Jahren.... sollte dieser Name nicht schonlange keine Aufregung sondern einfach nur das Empfinden sowas sollte nie wieder vorkommen sollte übermitteln.
ALLE DIE SICH ÜBER HITLER AUFREGEN MACHEN IHN NUR NOCH UNSTERBLICHER !
Perhaps he is referring to the compassion that was felt and shown by the rest of the world after Hitler destroyed Europe (read: the Jews). For example, If it werent for Hitler there would be no Israel. This may seem Crass (Im CrassBastard) but I would hazard a guess and say some of the Israelis (again, read: Jews) would (privately) thank Hitler.
From the corpses of Jews, arose a beautiful nation (The Jewish Holy Land) which the Jews can call home, for the first time in 700 years.
@MyProductionZz sorry, but the mining of the song it's not that....he wonts tell that inside us there is a monster, a devil....do you think realy that he can think a thing like that you say!!?? it's not credible!!!
