| Because of its place among the militarily-themed tracks on the album Mutter, I'm going to go out on a limb and say this song is, under all the metaphors, about a field hospital. The line "Die Tränen greiser Kinderschar" ("The tears of a crowd of very old children") provides something of a clue; war can age you decades in even a few months. "Der Mutter die mich nie geboren" ("the mother who never gave birth to me") could be the mother country (though Germany is the "Fatherland," so the line "gezeugt in Hast und ohne Samen" - "fathered in haste and without sperm" - might be more important to the interpretation). Actually, that's probably kind of off-base, but my next best guess is a weapons system, due in part to the lines "hab ich heute Nacht geschworen/ ich werd ihr eine Krankheit schenken" ("I have sworn tonight/ I will send her a sickness") - war can be compared to a cancer, and the proverb goes that weapons are enemies even to their owners. This relies more on the "mother country" interpretation, however. | |

| This song scares me but I still like it. I can't bring myself to buy the Mutter CD though, the cover just creeps me out too much. If I bought it, I'd have 'MONSTER'S IN MY CLOSET' moments. I mean... that's likea dead baby/fetus. I just stuck to Limewire for this one, lol. | |
