Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Japanische Kampfhörspiele's "Momo" talks about parents reading the book "Momo" to their children while constantly looking at the clock. The book "Momo" was written by Michael Ende and tells the story of a young orphan girl who has the ability to listen and understand people's problems. The story is primarily about time and how valuable it is, and how we need to be careful not to waste it as it is a finite resource.


The interpretation of the lyrics can be viewed in two ways. Firstly, it can be seen as a commentary on our society's obsession with time-management and being productive. The parents are so concerned about making sure they finish reading the book to their children on time that they are not fully present in the moment and enjoying the experience. Secondly, it can be interpreted as a warning against the dangers of being too busy and not prioritizing valuable time with loved ones.
