My Mummy
Lippie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That it could smell
The sweetest perfume
Of somwhere …
When the hallow was near,
When I could touch the mist
She was here to bring me back
Awakening me
Making me longing
All the things
Betwixt the foam and the dawn
My souvenirs wisper
The last traces of kiss
She did before she left
The last time I saw her
Chick faced to the mirror
I couldn't let her go
Don't want to loose her
Let her go there all alone
My mommy,
My mommy.
She was the mare of my nights
My dreams, my life and my
Holly hope,
She gave me light,
And pain and joy
More that I could have asked for
She was the beginning and the end,
My best friend, my confident
And my inspiration
She was the best woman
I've ever known
Saying yes to the life
Saying yes to the people
Saying yes to the nature
Saying yes to me
Saying yes to the life
Saying yes to the people
Saying yes to the nature
Saying yes to our family
Imagine somewhere
That it could smell
The sweetest perfume
Of somwhere …
Imagine somewhere
My mommy,
My mommy
The song "My Mummy" by Lippie is a poignant tribute to a mother who is no longer present. The lyrics paint a picture of a dreamy, almost otherworldly place where the sweetest perfume lingers in the air. The singer reminisces about a time when their mother was still alive – when she was there to bring them back from the brink, to awaken them to the world around them. The love and respect the singer has for their mother is evident throughout the song, as they describe her as the mare of their nights, their dreams, their life and their holly hope. They go on to say that she gave them everything – light, pain, joy, more than they could have ever asked for. She was the beginning and the end, their best friend, their confident and their inspiration. She was the best woman they had ever known.
As the song progresses, the singer speaks directly to their mother, saying that they don't want to let her go, don't want her to be alone. While they may be speaking metaphorically, it is clear that there is a deep sense of loss and longing in the words. They close with the words "my mommy, my mommy" – a simple yet powerful statement of love and attachment.

Imagine somewhere
Picture a place in your mind
That it could smell
Where the scent of
The sweetest perfume
The most pleasant fragrance
Of somewhere …
In an unknown location
When the hallow was near,
When the echo was close
When I could touch the mist
When I was able to feel the fog
She was here to bring me back
My mother was present to guide me back
Not far from the shores
Close to the coastline
Awakening me
Reviving me from slumber
Making me longing
Making me yearn for
All the things
Everything
Betwixt the foam and the dawn
Between the sea and the daybreak
My souvenirs whisper
My memories murmur
The last traces of kiss
The final traces of affection
She did before she left
My mother did before she departed
The last time I saw her
The final moment I encountered her
Chick faced to the mirror
As a young girl observing myself in the mirror
I couldn't let her go
I couldn't bear to release her
Don't want to lose her
I don't want to be without her
Let her go there all alone
Permit her to depart all by herself
My mommy,
My mother,
My mommy.
My mother.
She was the mare of my nights
She was the horse of my evenings
My dreams, my life and my
My aspirations, my existence, and my
Holly hope,
Sacred wish,
She gave me light,
She gifted me brightness
And pain and joy
And suffering and happiness
More that I could have asked for
More than what I could've desired
She was the beginning and the end,
She was the commencement and the conclusion,
My best friend, my confident
My closest companion, my confidante
And my inspiration
And my motivation
She was the best woman
She was an exceptional woman
I've ever known
I have ever encountered
Saying yes to the life
Accepting life as it is
Saying yes to the people
Agreeing to the people around us
Saying yes to the nature
Consenting to the surroundings and the environment
Saying yes to me
Agreeing to myself
Saying yes to the life
Accepting life as it is
Saying yes to the people
Agreeing to the people around us
Saying yes to the nature
Consenting to the surroundings and the environment
Saying yes to our family
Consenting to our relatives
Imagine somewhere
Picture a place in your mind
That it could smell
Where the scent of
The sweetest perfume
The most pleasant fragrance
Of somewhere …
In an unknown location
Imagine somewhere
Picture a place in your mind
My mommy,
My mother,
My mommy.
My mother.
