The Brothers Grimm (die Brüder Grimm or die Gebrüder Grimm), Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786–1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors who together specialized in collecting and publishing folklore during the 19th century. They were among the best-known storytellers of folk tales, and popularized stories such as "Cinderella" ("Aschenputtel"), "The Frog Prince" ("Der Froschkönig"), "The Goose-Girl" ("Die Gänsemagd"), "Hansel and Gretel" ("Hänsel und Gretel"), "Rapunzel", "Rumpelstiltskin" ("Rumpelstilzchen"),"Sleeping Beauty" ("Dornröschen"), and "Snow White" ("Schneewittchen"). Their first collection of folk tales, Children's and Household Tales (Kinder- und Hausmärchen), was published in 1812.
The brothers spent their formative years in the German town of Hanau. Their father's death in 1796 caused great poverty for the family and affected the brothers for many years after. They both attended the University of Marburg where they developed a curiosity about German folklore, which grew into a lifelong dedication to collecting German folk tales. The rise of romanticism during the 19th century revived interest in traditional folk stories, which to the brothers represented a pure form of national literature and culture. With the goal of researching a scholarly treatise on folk tales, they established a methodology for collecting and recording folk stories that became the basis for folklore studies. Between 1812 and 1857, their first collection was revised and republished many times, growing from 86 stories to more than 200. In addition to writing and modifying folk tales, the brothers wrote collections of well-respected German and Scandinavian mythologies, and in 1838 they began writing a definitive German dictionary (Deutsches Wörterbuch), which they were unable to finish during their lifetime.

Be my fantasy,
Holding back nothing.
Are we agreed?
(What this is for?)
Be my fantasy,
Be my everything.
We don't need,
Anything more.
THERE YOU GO AGAIN!
YOU LEFT ME IN THIS HELL WITH YOUR LIES!
GOT NOTHING TO SAY!
(What this is for?)
I can't STAND THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES
LETS GET REAL TONIGHT
I WANT YOU OUT OF MY LIFE
'Cuz you keep insisting
That I've been wishing up for your demise
Now look who's wearing the disguise
What a beautiful lie.
Your Armour's clean
But the battle line's been torn
Been trying so hard to cover up,
The score.
Just take a look at me.
Just take a look at me.
It's been too long.
Remember what you told me.
Be my fantasy,
Holding back, nothing.
Are we agreed?
(What this is for?)
Be my fantasy,
Be my everything.
We don't need,
Anything more.
Be my fantasy,
Holding back nothing.
Are we agreed?
(What this is for?)
Be my fantasy,
Be my everything.
We don't need,
Anything more.
YOU'RE NO GOOD FOR ME!
ALWAYS PLAYING GAMES WITH MY MIND!
DO YOU ENJOY THE SIGHT?
CAN YOU LOOK AT ME AND SAY WHAT WE HAD WAS NEVER ANYTHING
I NEED YOU OUT OF MY LIFE
THESE SCARS WILL HEAL WITH TIME
'Cuz you left me,
In the dark,
And I've been walking for a thousand miles.
'Cuz if you're losing hope, just take a look at me.
And I've got nobody to thank but you
So let me just,
Fuck you.
You've always been the spark that kept us burning down
To the ground
Just take a look at me.
