Answer 2

Yeah I noticed the same thing! It kind of shocked me because before the album was released Bill would talk about keeping the true meaning of the song in both versions and stuff ya know? So I thought that Humanoid's translations would be even closer than Schrei/Zimmer 483 was to Scream. But nein. Oh and I didn't know about the "Human Connect to Human"/"Menchen Suchen Menchen" thing! IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT (I just looked too)! Especially since "human connect to human" is all like seductive sounding and stuff. Das es strange.
