Die Antwoord Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mommy, my heart is broken
Because my daddy might fix it!
Yea, I'll fix it, come here
Mommy can you move away?
Come lie in your space, I'll tell her to go fix it. I'll fix it, lie in the space here
But mommy can't have a space for me here
She's just dreaming. She's dreaming. Let me make a space, yeah?
Heh, sorry
No problem. Just tell me what's the problem.
Is your heart, is your heart, how does it feel?
What's wrong with it? Is your heart broken? Okay, I'll fix it
Fix it like this, do that
Just give me one tuck, I just love you so much
I can't get a tuck because my heart is broken
I'll fix it
My heart is fixed!

Mommy my heart is fixed

Overall Meaning

The song "Moon Love" by Die Antwoord begins with the lyrics, "Mommy, my heart is broken, because my daddy might fix it!" These words imply a certain tension between the parents, with the child acting as mediator. The child seeks comfort from the father, but also needs the mother to move away to create space for the father to fix their broken hearts. The parents' roles then seem to shift, with the father taking on the responsibility of fixing the child's heart.

However, the mother has concerns about not having a space for herself in the situation. The father brushes off these concerns, insisting he will make a space and fix the problem. He then asks the child about the state of their own heart, implying that the child's heart might also be broken. The father then proceeds to "fix" the child's heart, offering physical gestures of love and comfort.

Overall, the song "Moon Love" speaks to the complexities of familial relationships and the ways in which we seek comfort from those closest to us. The child in the song is caught between conflicted parents, but ultimately finds solace in the love of the father. However, the song also implies that this love may not be enough to fix all of the family's problems.
