Sehnsucht ("wishfulness" or "longing") is the first song on the album of Sehnsucht by Rammstein.

Sehnsucht has numerous sexual references throughout the song, such as: Der Finger rutscht nach Mexiko doch er versinkt im Ozean ("The finger slips to Mexico but it sinks in the ocean"), which might be referring to fingering a girl.

While playing Sehnsucht at Live aus Berlin, Till hits himself in the head with his microphone repeatedly and throughout the rest of the concert can be seen bleeding from his hairline.
