Sure, I suppose that’s the "main interpretation" people give to Stone by Stone. But if you really dig into the lyrics, the actual concept is about life in what used to be East Germany.
And the core theme of the song "rise, rise"... is love!? Or at least, that's what they claim (even though, at first glance, the song doesn't seem to have anything to do with that 😁).
"Dalai Lama" is basically like a modern-day version of J. W. Goethe's "Erlking" (I think that's how the title goes in English, anyway).
You can read both the German and English versions right here (just the first part; everything below that is just a parody 😁):

"She is so ugly that it recoils when she looks into heaven
When she looks into heaven
Then the Light Shines
Shining up at her face from below"
The lyrics suggest that "she" is so unattractive that when she glances toward the sky, even the light itself gets "scared" and shines upward into her face instead. 😁
And then the whole song just blares "you are ugly" over and over, until—right at the very end—it says: "looking with the Hearts, she is beautiful."
Kudos to Lindemann. He writes absolute masterpieces (though, occasionally, they're pretty twisted 😁). 👍
And their music videos... 🙏
What will be next is "Without You". I honestly can't wait 😎
