- Mother, Father Lyrics

Mother, father please explain to me
Why a world so full of mystery
A place so bitter and still so sweet
So beautiful and yet so full of sad, sad...

Mother, father please explain to me
Why forests march to desert speed
While snowcapped mountains melt away
What do we tell our babies, when do we say, oh

Mother, father please explain to me
How a man who rocks his child to sleep
Pulls the trigger on his brother's heart
He digs a hole right to the middle of this storm of hatred

Mother, father please explain to me
How it could be so this world has come to be
A precious balance in between
Such cruelty and such kindness please

Mother, father please explain to me
How this world has come to be
Unequaled in her blessings, oh, I see
Unbridled hatred so extreme, please tell me

Mother, father please explain to me
How this world has come to be so
Twisted between time and dreams
Oh, mother, father please explain to me
Oh, what's all this talk about?
All this talk about it
Spinning down, down, down, down, down
All this talk about
Endless words without
Nothing's done
Mother, father do you know
Why one man's belly overflows
Another sleeps in hunger's bed
Oh, we trade our world for a piece of bread

Oh Mother, father please explain to me
How this rare world's come to be
A place so full of color yet overflowing
Always in black and white
Drowning in the waters of our...

Mother, father please explain to me
How this world has come to be
While still blessed in all the things we see
Such a sad, sad home for you and me

Come out, and hold,
Come on out you
Come on out you
Come and save yourself

Come on out you
Come on we're taking the water
We're taken the water
We're taken the water
But you know
We got the freedom
We got the freedom

There's no God above
And no hell below
Oh, it's here with us
It's up to us
To keep afloat

How this sweet world has come to be
Oh to keep afloat

Mother, father please explain to me
How this rare world has come to be
Oh, let the blue planet
Let the blue planet

Mother, father please explain to me
Mother, father please explain

What is the meaning behind Mother, Father lyrics?


When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, 'Mother Father,' a track by Dave Matthews Band, digs deep into the dark sides of the world and questions if beauty and sadness, kindness and cruelty, are to be found together. It gives an account of the unequal distribution of goods in society, the battle between the good and the evil forces in different lives and the call for the world to be seen in terms of the good and the bad. The lyrics of Mother, Father predominantly underscore social commentary, introspection, angst, despair, and liberation. The song at the same time highlights the need for existential inquiry, life's contradictions, inequality and suffering along with hope and responsibility. The lyrics bear the marks of social issues, inequality, and existential questions that are probably beyond the understanding of the little ones without parental guidance. Although there is no explicit mention of violence, drugs, or foul language, the mature themes might not be suitable for all kids.
