Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Sehnsucht. By Songfacts®.

The song is about longing for sex or maybe more precisely sex with one special woman. The lyrics, "Between your long legs, I search for the sand from last year" can mean that he searches for the joy from long ago, maybe he wants to get back together with an old lover ("But there is no sand left"). The chorus ends with "Sehnsucht ist so grausam," which means "Longing is so horrible."
