Mom REACTS to RAMMSTEIN- Mutter “with translation and analysis at the end”

[@MommaTaunT]

So many requested “ Mutter” I guess for its name but also to find out if I got this weird story … did I ? My translation and analysis at the end . And for those who want to have their own reaction or give a tip; www.buymeacoffee.com/MommaTaunT

[@CavHDeu]

Please do the live version recorded in Paris

[@MommaTaunT]

I will look at that one myself so I can take a new song next time

[@ISSO1407]

At the beginning he sings about old/senior children already having gray hair and building a chain/necklace made of his hair and tears. So basically him in his late 30s or 40s. Gezeugt in Hast und ohne Samen means, Made in haste and without seed. Not hate. What the Eel thing means i never figured out myself as well, maybe its about the water since he has already thrown her into the water at that point and shes drowning? Ive never looked up analysations of their songs. And yes, This is a third version of hast that can mess with people who do not speak german or dont speak it at a high level. Theres not only Du hasst/you hate and Du hast/you have but also Hast=haste. Theres no difference in pronunciation for these, you need to know more of the sentence or see it in written form to understand the context and figure out that way which one is meant.

[@MommaTaunT]

Dust to dust 😉

[@michamo66]

your pronunciation in German is very good!😉

[@Cvfdsx]

In our culture we assume that there is a mother. AND she's loving. We accept that mother=love. This is a song to those who has to do without🙏

Being a Rammstein fan is called human, because nobody can escape if he/she really listens.

[@SPSVSSUB]

It is a good thing that you do not understand the "hidden meaning" behind the lyrics, it basically means that you've had a decent/good relationship with your parents and children. Some of us did not have these things, and I believe the song is mainly oriented towards that particular audience. Rammstein's music is truly amazing, thank you for the video!

[@robertmoritz7954]

[@MommaTaunT]

I will look at it right now … and thank you 🥰

[@hallomatti]

I can sign that one hundred percent. After this song, Rammstein released a lot of other excellent songs that I listen to again and again, depending on my mood. "Mother" was, is and probably will remain the most emotional for me. I still remember that when I first heard it, it ran cold down my spine, as we say in German. No idea how to formulate it in English.

[@Sandmann6627777]

Rammstein's version of Frankenstein's monster with a riff that brings tears to your eyes...

[@CavHDeu]

Richard wrote it as a wedding song

[@johncrow4344]

You're totally right about it being about a test tube baby or clone. It is also about Till's difficult relationship with his own mother, Richard too I believe, and the feeling of being without a mother (or a good mother). It's a love/hate relationship and cutting away toxic people in your life I believe. I LOVE your reactions, especially since you can interpret the German lyrics for us. Reading about the lyrics and translating them on my own is one thing, but having someone who speaks the language discuss them is so much more valuable and informative! I also appreciate your psychology insight on these. Thank you so much!

[@MommaTaunT]

☺️

[@hrma6313]

Also look up Daveinitely , he's a German, explains R+ in English

[@michaelfinck7487]

The song was confirmed by Till Lindemann and Richard Kruspe to be a reference to their unhappy childhood relationships with their own mothers. The lyrics tell the story of a child not born from a womb but in an experiment, thus having no true father or mother. The lyrics describe his plan to kill both the mother “who never gave birth to him” and himself, a plan which he proceeds to carry out. However, he still fails to kill himself, instead ending up mutilated and no better off than before. The child begs, possibly prays, for strength, but his dead mother does not answer. The narrative of the song is similar to “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley, in that the character takes revenge for his misfortunes on his ‘parent’, and then ends up no different from before the ‘parent’ died. The video for Mutter follows the storyline of the song, whereby the character kills his mother and then dumps her body in a river, ending with the character in a cage or dungeon that is set into the ground.

[@thomashutter5499]

Interesting, I had kind of a complicated relationship to my mother myself. I was by her side when she died and afterwards I heard this song probably for hours on repeat to get out all my anger, frustration and pain over this lost. So yeah, probably I can somehow feel into this song

[@BestBuyAutoMart]

Till Lindemann is a poet, in case some of you may not be aware of. Till's father Werner, well-known East German writer of children's.

[@satanihelvetet]

Very interesting! My thougt or feeling by those lyrics is the message that the human still have their human needs, including the support from a mother, even if a human would be born in an experimental way without a mother and father. You can't simply take the human needs away.

[@jon3584]

I love my "mutter" and played this for her. Shes 65 years old and love this song. She dont like hard rock, but i think my mother and i will bond till this track, till any of us will leave this world. Mutter, ich liebe dich ❤ Joni, Denmark.

[@tonyheiz5761]

Yet all of this is far from the true reason of till to sing or write this song

[@tomre2769]

She listen through without pause. Approved! Subbed. (So few reactors do this correct)

[@MommaTaunT]

Thank you ☺️

[@LongandWeirdName]

There is no correct way. You, Tom, are certifiably insane if you think there is. There is NOTHING wrong with pausing. Even every 5 seconds, if there is appropriate, meaningful input on a detail of what you're reacting to. If someone is pausing to go off topic and talk about their dog or some other random thing, it's wrong, but still understandable with how KZbin copyright bots used to work until someone of the big millions of subs folks recently made a big deal out of it with a repeat of "Where's the Fair Use". Furthermore, the way MommaTaunt and a few others do it actually goes far further into breaking that Fair Use clause of the 1997 copyright law section 107 than the way other reaction channels do it. Others cut parts out and do pauses for comments not because they can't wait to give you their thoughts, but because that's in there in the law. And by it, I mean... No fragments longer than a certain small percentage of the original content(show it in small chunks that prove a point in your analysis), not breaching a certain overall percentage of the original content shown in your own video(don't show all of it), and there being at least as much of your analysis/criticism/commentary as there is of the original content(don't let someone else's work do most of the work in your work). That's how things used to be for years. Don't whine about it like a toddler. That's the format everyone is used to and continues to deliver, bending the rules as much as they can and risking a strike to satisfy snobs like you and stop your frivolous, inane, ignorant nagging.

[@MommaTaunT]

@@LongandWeirdName no need to be this rude . Me not stopping means the creator of the song is monetized, not me . A lot of people stop every 5 seconds so they can can the money … for me , especially as a singer, that’s a no go . I am not monetized and people who want to support me can buy me a coffee. Furthermore … every reactor can have their own MO… this is mine . At our main channel, my son chooses to stop a few times to ask questions . Also there we are not monetized.. although some artists did white list is because they want to share there percentage . But most importantly…my channel is al about respect and mental health and bullying is not excepted . Be nice 😉

[@LongandWeirdName]

@@MommaTaunT I am not aiming my criticism at you or trying to bully Tom, who it is aimed at. Only trying to show how he is being inconsiderate of the history of reaction channels on the platform and the norms it has set. This is not meant to make him feel worse about himself, but to make him realize why people do these reactions the way they do them. In my eyes, he's the one that's rude and uses this comment section to attack many other creators who are just doing the best they can not to get strikes even when they don't monetize their videos. Pardon me, if I was too harsh. I am simply used to far less civilized discourse filled with ad hominems, foul language, and complete disrespect for the other side's points/lack of willingness to hear out and consider the other point of view. Civilized debate is no longer the norm out there and one often has to be as blunt as a brick rounded down by time to lose any sharp edges to get their point through.

[@MommaTaunT]

Sorry .. but your last sentence of your first comment is totally uncalled for . And to put something like that under a nice comment ment if someone who just was here to make a compliment is so not necessary. No one was asking for that and it says so much about you … and it makes me sad

[@spring_in_paris]

Das war wieder eine sehr schöne Reaktion von Dir. Wir Rammstein fans betrachten uns als Familie. Herzlich willkommen. Bezüglich, worum es in dem Lied geht. Da gibt es wieder mehrere Ebenen. Die Offensichtliche ist, es geht um künstliche Befruchtung bzw. ums Klonen. Erzählt aus der Perspektive des betroffenen Kindes. Das macht Till oft, Geschichten aus der Ich- Perspektive erzählen, manchmal ändert/ wechselt er sie auch. Eine andere Ebene ist die Beschreibung, im übertragenen Sinne, wie sich ein Kind fühlt, das nicht geliebt oder behütet, wurde. Ein seelisch verletztes Kind Hierfür steht das Bild der eingekeckerten Figur. Auch diese Kinder werden erwachsen und die erwachsene Person rudert über das Wasser (des Lebens), um immer wieder das ungeliebte Kind (in sich) zu besuchen. Es ist der Zwiespalt, die manche Menschen, die so eine traurige Kindheit erleben mussten: Sie sind wütend auf den Elternteil (hier die Mutter) und wollen dieses Mal des Schmerzes entfernen und gleichzeitig wünschen sie sich nichts mehr, als das die Liebe ihnen doch zu Teil wird. Leider hatte Richard (Gitarrist) so eine Kindheit. Er hat in einem Interview erzählt, dass seine Mutter ihn ignoriert hat und nur der ältere Bruder ihre Aufmerksamkeit und Liebe bekam. Freue mich schon auf deine nächste Reaktion.

[@MommaTaunT]

Danke☺️

[@u.z.9383]

Bedankt. Your video reaction was again awesome. In this song he is a modern day Frankenstein Monster . It's not clear if he is really lovable. He's always the "aggressive and demanding male" although one feels pity for him. He's dangerous! But it's a great song! There's only one song even more intense: "Puppe" I recommend the "Midjourney music video" from "Anomaliens". Best wishes from Berlin, uz The lyrics are irritating as well : "Die Tränen greiser Kinderschar..." = the tears of an old group of kids. Like (precious) pearls he pulls them on a string, making them into a necklace. But the German word "Kette" means also chain. He switches to the dark side and calls the necklace a "wet chain", throws it away. And switches to the bright side again: the chain is something he can wish upon.

[@u.z.9383]

While I edit, a few recommendations: "ohne dich", "Seemann" (the video from the Nina Hagen cover), "jardin de l'arme", Till sings French with Zaz, "alle Tage ist kein Sonntag" Lindemann and David Garrett. Lindemann as the prostitute Algebra in "Mathematik".... no, I skip this one, too much locker room words

When this song was new, I worked as a sound engineer at the national pop radio station. The DJ played this song in the night. I asked him to play the song again right away. He was just as blown away like me and he did just that. Very unusual. A tribute to the quality of Rammstein.

[@andreadee1567]

Loved your reaction. Your interpretation about a test tube baby was on point. Yes, the weird feeling with Rammstein. Till rarely allows the listener to feel confortable. One way he achieves that, is not allowing to be too sure about the meaning of his texts by beeing inconclusive or changing his direction multiple times. "In ihren Lungen wohnt ein Aal, auf meiner Stirn ein Muttermal"... Sometimes I think he needed a rhyme word for Muttermal. The first word that came in his mind was Aal (Eel) and he kept it. Smirking about the confusion he was causing once again. I’m probably completely wrong but I like that picture. Another interpretation: He wanted to drown his (non-existant) mother in the river. (...und sie danach im Fluss versenken) Eels are scavengers. They eat dead animals, so they live in his drowned mother too. I don’t like that picture.

[@manuelsiefers8975]

I think you are actually right with both of these aspects. Eels, although beeing liked by many as an edible fish, are also comsidered by many people I know to be somewhat abhorrent due to their diet of carrion and assumingly due to their physical, snakelike form. In fact, as far as I am informed, eels used to be fished by throwing an animal carcass on a line into the water pullong it out again when enough eels had amassed in it. Talking about a gruesome method here. I am pretty sure Till got these connotations in the background here, thinking about the cruel mother he never had, yet is desperately craving for and wants to kill out of bitterness. Finally it could also be put forward, that "mother" does not only stand for an idealised need of protection, but is actually a symbol for his uncaring creators that he so much despises. That way the whole expression of violent fantasies towards "Mutter" makes even more sense. However, I am also convinced that what you said about an ever-smirking Till, who just thrives in making people wonder and leaves them in a state of ambivalence about individual parts of his lyrics absolutely holds true as well...

[@faragraf9380]

[@MommaTaunT]

He was talking to me 😉

[@doubleT84]

I think Till is hugely inspired by Gottfried Benn, throughout all his work, but also here. Gottfried Benn wrote a poem "Mutter" - but he didn't have a difficult relationship with her, like Till does, Gottfried Benn loved his mother. "Ich trage dich wie eine Wunde / auf meiner Stirn, die sich nicht schließt. / Sie schmerzt nicht immer. Und es fließt / das Herz sich nicht draus tot." The wound on the head, the birthmark on the head, but in Till's version he is prepared to remove that connection, in his version he assumes he might even die. Similar words, opposite meaning. If ever given the chance, I'd love to ask Till about the first encounter with Benn's work. I know the impact that reading "Schöne Jugend" in school had on me ...

[@uliwehner]

glad i am not the only one who read Gottfried Benn, I didn't even have to... did not read it in school, just because i liked it.

I'm also singing for a long time, and I'm studying classical singing music at a musical scholl (also my voice is bariton as well as i t is Till's voice), and yeah, I reaaly love his voice, his singing, his performances, and him as an actor. He is really acting, I agrre with you, that he is a great actor. He makes real and believable the stories he tells and sings.

I think the "no navel" and "no semen" are only metaphors. I understand it as the child who was conceived "by accident" during a brief sexual encounter by a woman who later neglected or even hated the child only for being born, and who was abusive.

[@doubleT84]

True, "no navel" could be interpreted as "no connection" and not thinking of him as her son.

[@6666Imperator]

probably you are right but for me it was always also partly relating to the possibility of scientists "making" a designer baby without involvement of a mother or father and what that would do with the child growing up with machines instead of the love of its parents. Another song in that direction would be Ebenbild by Saltatio Mortis

Im struggling especially when it comes to classic German fairytales, however those became considered suiting as bed time stories, they are most times actually fitting far better to the genre of Horror. "So, two children behing left to die in the forrest, before being nearly cooked and eaten and then murdering an old woman." "..." "Sleep well!"

[@MommaTaunT]

Hans und Gretel? 😉

[@gangsterkrug7533]

The first sentence actually does make sense, it's just very hard to decode, especially if you're not a natove speaker. "Die Tränen greiser Kinderschar Ich zieh' sie auf ein weißes Haar Werf in die Luft die nasse Kette" means "The tears of the old kids, i put them on a white hair and throw the necklace in the air" I think he's talking about kids who never where allowed to experience childhood. Sometimes people say about kids who had a hard youth that they have an old soul.

[@phalanxiatheroan863]

As one of those kinds of people (heavy SA in childhood) I found this song to be an open meaning song with those who's childhoods were not what they were meant to be. Mostly towards maternal points, which is open to other listeners to apply their own meaning and injustice towards. Where the concept is based towards two band members talking about their own parental experiences, the lyrics become open to others from the same or other maternal abandonment from whichever perspective. Its a brilliantly written song covering many different means of childhood trauma.

[@truestoriesfromtheworld]

Thanks for the review. One of my favorite songs. To me it doesn't seem like a song about artificial human, I see in this song a soul of child, kept in limbo, soul of a child that was never born because it was aborted. This child never had name, never had mothers milk. Millions of kids die like that, and then both mother and child lose each other forever.

[@truestoriesfromtheworld]

@Robert Stallard do you think that clone animals (and humans) do not have navels?

[@truestoriesfromtheworld]

@Robert Stallard when embryo is implanted to surrogate mother, it is doesn't need an umbilical cord yet. But later weeks of pregnancy it is still connected with mother's blood system via umbilical cord. There is no way development of any baby, even cloned, can be without this system, yet.

[@Kalywen]

Hi everyone! I want to share with you with one of my observations. After analyzing the song "Leaving a light on" by the singer Tom Walker, I can say with certainty that not only the chorus, but the song itself is very similar to the song "Mutter" by the band Rammstein. And I also want to add, that the video of these two songs is somehow similar too, though I like the Rammstein video much more, if not in a million times more than Tom Walker's. If you want to check it, you can listen to these two songs and compare them. For comparison, the song "Leave a light on" was released in 2018 and "Mutter" was released in 2002.

[@DK-info]

The first line is: "Die Tränen greiser Kinderschar, ich zieh Sie auf ein weißes Haar" That already includes a lot of meanings. Keyword is "greis". Translated it would mean: "The tears of extrem old children I pull them on a white hair." The whole song is about the horrors of human cloning and experiments.

Halfway through the video you looked like you were about to vomit. Imagine if you understood the lyrics. It's a song that makes me, the son of an abusive mother break down every time I hear it. It's about someone who feels worthless because he was deprived of the love of a mother. After all, you can't be worth shit if even your own mother despises you. Welcome to my life. This song is most beautifully done and the lyrics are pretty much the most poetic you can get out of the German language. But it is also deeply disturbing.

Mother .... Mother.....Mother 😢

[@zxana]

there isnt a name for Rammstein fans that has ever stuck but i do quite like the idea of Feuerwehr

[@MelliundSpike]

The Single from this Song was my Last Contact to my Mother on her Birthday 🤨

[@mattkurtz8549]

Wet chain is the ambilicle coard , that's why he has no naval

[@ISSO1407]

I would recommend Hilf mir as the next Song to react to. Its also kind of mother/parent themed, or rather something thats relevant to parents. Wiener Blut fits this theme as well but in a very fucked up way.

[@tosa2522]

I recently saw a video where a North Korean children's choir sang this song for dictator Kim Jong-un.

[@moetc.592]

i saw that video too ... but i think its a fake. too many cuts ... the children dont sing a single line of the song without a cut in the video ... FAKE !!!! :) Edit: ... and i cant find that video on youtube anymore ...

Background: At the time the song was written, in-vitro-fertalization started and was a controversial topic especially with Christians not just because the natural act is left out, also semen and egg cell can be chosen, maybe manipulated, leaving "too much" power in the process of creating life to humans, where religious people get blasphemy vibes and "scientists playing god" vibes. Also it was/is possible to fertilize an egg cell with another egg cell. Pure blasphemy in the eyes of the church, a woman having a baby with woman or even with herself (clone). The discussion of possibilities and the demystifying of the whole reproductional process lead to other questions like: HOW LONG UNTIL A HUMAN WOMB IS NOT NEEDED ANYMORE? This i exactly the question/scenario Rammsteins Mutter plays in. The kids on the wet chain that sounds a lot like DNA / RNA itself. Despite all possibilities the human needs love and parents, esp. a mother. Members of Rammstein have spoken out to processed their own experiences with a not much careing/loving mother into the song. It is a really deep, highly scientific, religious, psychiatric, ethical question/topic/scenario and it's still actual and will be further down the time line when we talk about an Arche or colonization of outer galaxies, AI and AI mothers simulating affection and love.

It makes me think very much of Frankenstein's monster

[@konstantinrheker4671]

Rammstein uses lots of symbols and paraphrases so i.e. 'wet chain' describes the cord. Best you can do with Rammstein lyrics is to let them build up pictures in your mind and you'll get close to the meanings of their lyrics.

That’s a great tip , thank you 😊

[@ULTRAGAMESTV]

Im von Till Lindemann verfassten Text wird die Situation eines mutterlosen Menschen beschrieben. Der nach einer Identität schreit und sich - als Paradoxon - an seiner Mutter rächen will, weil sie nie für ihn da war.

[@ULTRAGAMESTV]

In the text written by Till Lindemann, the situation of a motherless person is described. Who cries out for an identity and - as a paradox - wants to take revenge on his mother because she was never there for him.

algemein zu ramstein, deren lieder sind meist zu der zeit kritischen themen. was sie auch bei deutschen medien anfangs öfters zu rechten machte. hier interprettier ich hinein, zu der zeit wo es raus kam wurde viel mit gentechnik und dem traum kinder können wie sie von der genetik gebraucht werden, beliebig geclont werden. evtl anlehnung an glaub ähnliche zeit erschienen "matrix". tiefgründig würde ich dir auch "alter mann", empfehlen. die anfänglich bekannten lieder wie herzeleid haben für diese zeit auch sehr kritische ansehungen der damals aktuellen themen. das ist aus der zeit, wo nazis und punks sich noch gern hatten, oder eben eh es 2 richtungen aus dem eigentlichen ursprung wurde. sie wurden eben mit ihren kritischen liedern von den getroffenen "hunden" nicht um sonst in die verächtliche rechte ecke geschoben. wie eben auch die böhsen onkelz aka die onkelz. gruß aus dem ehemaligen land der dichter und denker.

[@chrisyoung2363]

its MOTHER! so meaningful, how can you not realize this???

[@chrisangel3018]

You got it right so far. Just one Word was translated wrong as far as I could hear. Gezeugt in Hast und ohne Samen "Begotten(made) in haste and without sperm" Hast = haste. 😊 There is a difference between Hast und hast with a small H 🙂

[@chrisangel3018]

And hasst, written with ss has also a different mening!

[@_plueschmors_]

Not sure if it was answered already but I call us Rammstein fans as ‘Rammsteiner‘ 🤘🏼.

[@MommaTaunT]

Nobody said so but it makes sense… I like it ( but it does sound a bit like a nice German beer too 😉)

[@_plueschmors_]

@@MommaTaunT Rammstein is actually selling a beer called Rammsteiner 😅

[@MommaTaunT]

🤣

[@sytax1]

live from paris is this song 10 times better to watch. greetings

[@user-fu3hi3lj3w]

I would have liked you to choose the Life in Paris version. Much more intense. The "nasse Kette" probably stands for DNA. "Gezeugt in Hast und ohne Namen" means "created in a rush and without a name".

[@miamiking8385]

It's "gezeugt in Hast und ohne Samen" which means without sperm...

[@doubleT84]

@@miamiking8385 And in english, the (white) pearls on a wet necklace also means sperm - on a woman's neck, but here it's "thrown into the air", wasted, not where it's "supposed" to be naturally.

[@7GFORCE7]

Watch the video "Adieu". It will give some context to "Mutter"!

[@MommaTaunT]

You better be subscribed and rang the bell , thank me later 😉

[@moetc.592]

there is no other name for rammstein fans than ... rammstein fans ^^ and btw ... in my opinion this song is a variation of a Poem of Gottfried Benn

[@pfeilchen]

You may recall the media coverage of the first ever clone sheep "Dolly" and since this song came out after that, i also think, that he is imagining what it must feel like if you are a cloned human without an actual mother. This is an unusual perspective, which again is a common thing in Rammstein lyrics. Muttermal as german for birthmark would actually be mothersmark, which he wants to remove at all costs. To my best knowledge there is no special name for Rammstein fans, but it is interesting, that people these days start thinking about those lyrics and actually getting into the band, while 20 years ago many were revolted by the perceived harshness and the visuals.

[@gothic_ace2037]

i think they just call them rammsteiners

[@Jan_Seidel]

I will start to make more sense when you see the lyrics in context with cloning humans

[@summer.of.69]

Made in haste… But Till‘s songs are very difficult to translate. Some German don’t understand.

[@ulyssesk7325]

the passage you can't translate is very illustrating, i would translate it with "i wished for the tears of the lost children.

[@aviaxis6261]

soon this song's name will be 'parent 2'

[@bizalom77]

the song of the lost generations...

[@Diveyl]

Tears of a group of gray-haired children I thread on white hair I'm throwing this wet chain in the air And I wish I had a mother No sun have shone for me Nor did any breast cry milk There's a rubber hose stuck in my throat I don't have a navel on my belly Mother I couldn't suck any nipple And I had no fold to hide Nobody gave me a name Breed in haste and seedless The mother who never gave birth to me I promised tonight I will make her sick And then I'll drown her in the river Mother An eel lives in her lungs And on my forehead a birthmark I'll remove them with the kiss of a knife Even if I had to die for it Mother An eel lives in her lungs And on my forehead a stigma I'll remove them with the kiss of a knife Even if I had to bleed out for it Mother Give me strength
