( Audio sample ) Excerpt from a guitar riff in fifths from Du hast

The title you have is a play on the second person singular word of have and hate. In terms of content, it is about a marriage proposal in which the lyrical self is initially undecided whether to accept it, but ultimately decides against it, which becomes clear in the chorus:

“Will you be
loyal to her for all days until death do you part ?
(Yes No!
Do you want to death the vagina
you love even in bad days?
(Yes No!"
