Mutter
Heimataerde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh mein Kindelein
Musst nun einsam sein
Schwer wird nun mein Herz
Spüre nur noch Schmerz

Oh mein Kindelein
Nun bist du allein
Kann das Licht nun sehen
Muss für immer gehen

Mutter
Wo bist du?

Oh mein Kindelein
Siehst du diesen Schein




Er holt mich nach Haus
Und mein Licht geht aus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Heimataerde's song "Mutter" convey a sense of loss, sorrow, and separation. The singer is addressing their child, who now must be alone, and expresses how heavy and painful their heart feels. The mention of only feeling pain suggests that the singer is experiencing a profound grief that has consumed their entire being. The second verse continues with the theme of the child being alone, but the singer shifts the focus to their own journey. They can now see the light which suggests that they have passed away and are now moving towards a new life leaving their child alone. Finally, they call out to their mother, perhaps searching for the comfort that they can no longer experience.


The lyrics are poignant and evoke a sense of longing and sadness that is universal. The words can be interpreted in many ways; however, it seems to be at the core about the loss of a parent or loved one. The song is raw and powerful, and the use of old German in Heimtaerde's music highlights the emotional intensity of the lyrics. Overall, the song conveys a sense of bereavement and speaks to the universal sentiment of losing someone you love.
