Mutter is a song by Rammstein. It is the sixth track on the Mutter album.
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]
- When a fan asked Richard about the song, Richard said that he wrote the song for a marriage.
- 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]

Lyrics
Die Tränen greiser Kinderschar
Ich zieh sie auf ein weißes Haar
Werf in die Luft die nasse Kette
Und wünsch mir, dass ich eine Mutter hätte
Keine Sonne, die mir scheint
Keine Brust hat Milch geweint
In meiner Kehle steckt ein Schlauch
Hab keinen Nabel auf dem Bauch
Mutter, Mutter
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, Mutter
Mutter, Mutter
Mutter, Mutter
Mutter, Mutter
In ihren Lungen wohnt ein Aal
Auf meiner Stirn ein Muttermal
Entferne es mit Messers Kuss
Auch wenn ich daran sterben muss
Mutter, Mutter, Mutter, Mutter
In ihren Lungen wohnt ein Aal
Auf meiner Stirn ein Muttermal
Entferne es mit Messers Kuss
Auch wenn verbluten muss
Mutter, oh gib mir Kraft
Mutter, Mutter
Oh gib mir Kraft
Mutter, Mutter
Oh gib mir Kraft
Mutter, Mutter
Oh gib mir Kraft
白髪の 子供達の群れの涙
その涙を白髪の上で育てている
濡れた鎖を 空に放り投げ
自分にも 母がいたら良かったのに と思う
俺に降り注ぐ 陽もなく
乳をくれた 乳房もない
首にはチューブを 入れられ
腹には 央もない
母よ
俺は 乳首をしゃぶる事も許されなかった
衣類の後に 隠れる事も許されなかった
名前も もらえず
種もないところに あわてて製造された
俺を産まなかった母に
今育 的った
彼女を 病気にして
そのあと 河に沈めてやると
母よ
彼女の肺には うなぎが住み
俺の額の アザを
ナイフのロブづけで 取ってくれ
それで 死んでも構わない
失血死しても 構わない
母よ 力を与えてくれ
