Mother of the Hearts
LUV Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dear Mother of the Hearts
It is with an unusual question
That I come to you
Is it possible, can it be true
That...

Oh dear Mother is it true
That a grown-up like me
Or say like you
Still needs the love
A parent can give
To a little baby blue
Whisper the answer in my ear
Does a grown-up experienced like me
Sometimes need the love like a child
Tell me, if yes, please tell me why

Father was a very wealthy man
He gave me all, but I don′t remember when
He ever spent one minute alone with me
'Cause he always said; some other time maybe
And mama, and mama didn′t feel it
That I needed her the more because
She left the house when I




When I was only four
Mama, I realy needed more

Overall Meaning

The song "Mother of the Hearts" by LUV is a touching tribute to maternal love and its enduring importance, even for grown-ups. The singer addresses the titular "Mother of the Hearts" with a question that highlights the perpetual need for parental love and support, even when one is a grown-up. The question is whether it is possible for a grown-up, who has experienced life and has their own share of successes and failures, to still require the nurturing love that parents give to their little ones. The singer acknowledges that even a person like them, who has attained some level of maturity, might still need a parent's love to feel complete and secure.


The song delves into the singer's personal experience of growing up without the presence of a loving mother and a father who was too busy to be present for them. The lyrics paint a poignant picture of childhood neglect and abandonment and how it has left a lasting impact on the grown-up they have become. The singer's father was wealthy, but it came at the cost of not having any time to spend with his child. The mother, on the other hand, left the house when the singer was only four years old, leaving them to cope with the absence of the most important figure in their life. The singer's longing for maternal love and affection is palpable in the lyrics and speaks to the universal need for parents' care and attention, regardless of age.


Overall, "Mother of the Hearts" is a powerful song that celebrates the enduring importance of maternal love and the emotional impact of childhood experiences on adult life.
