Mutter, Mutter | |||
Ich durfte keine Nippel lecken | |||
Und keine Falte zum verstecken | |||
Niemand gab mir einen Namen | |||
Gezeugt in Hast und ohne Samen | |||
Der Mutter, die mich nie geboren | |||
Hab ich heute Nacht geschworen | |||
Ich werd ihr eine Krankheit schenken | |||
Und sie danach im Fluss versenken | |||

Mutter tracklist | |
Background
- A very early instrumental concept for the song, featuring an extended baby sample, was found on a self-made demo tape by Richard from 1994. Initially, this was thought by some to be a standalone song, but it was later confirmed that it did in fact evolve directly into Mutter.[1]
- Oddly, parts of this demo version resemble the solo from We Are Together by Emigrate. Not much else is known about the track.
- When a fan asked Richard about the song during a meet and greet on their Europe Stadium Tour 2019, Richard said that he wrote the song for a marriage.
- The Vocoder Mix of the song includes an extended orchestral bridge, which has later been used again for inclusion on the album for the vinyl remasters, which first appeared in 2015 as part of the XXI box set.
- Richard: "(...) I wrote it years ago, but never wrote lyrics for it. Till wrote the lyrics about the relationship he has with his mother. It's strange because I actually have the same issues with my mother. When I was growing up, she pushed me away because she didn't like me much. The song is about dealing with your childhood as you grow up. It took me a long time to realize it, but my whole life has been affected by my relationship with my mother. It's taking a lot of time to sort things out, but I'm working on it."[2]
- Till: "(...) The intro was written by Richard. I tried to put a stanza of lyrics there, but it didn't really work. The chorus, honestly, was born already in the studio. Everyone suggested something different, so it was a team effort. Originally the chorus was the second verse. But at some point we realized that there were too many words. In the end we just decided to do the chorus with the word Mutter."[3]
- Richard admitted that it's his favorite song from the album.[2]
