Rother's electro sound ("Sex With the Machines", "Simulationszeitalter", "Hacker") is characterized by repetitive machine-like beats, robotic, vocoder-driven vocals, melancholy, futuristic mood and lyrics that often deal with the consequences of technological progress, the relationship between humans and machines, and the role of computers in society.
In addition to electro, Rother also composes dark ambient music ("Elixir of Life", "Art Is a Technology"). He owns and operates the record label PSI49NET, though he has also worked with many other record labels throughout his career.
Father
Anthony Rother Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me how you feelin'.
And I say mother,
Tell me how you feelin'.
Father,
Tell me how you feelin'.
If you can't tell me how you feel,
I may say: There will be no freedom.
One million miles away from home.
One million miles away from love.
One million times away from hope.
One million times away from god.
Brother and sister,
Tell me how you feelin'.
And I say mother,
Tell me how you feelin'.
Father,
Tell me how you feelin'.
If you can't tell me how you feel,
I may say: There will be no freedom.
One million miles away from home.
One million miles away from love.
One million times away from hope.
One million times away from god.
Brother and sister,
Tell me how you feelin'.
And I say mother,
Tell me how you feelin'.
Father,
Tell me how you feelin'.
If you can't tell me how you feel,
I may say: There will be no freedom.
