Mother, you had me but I never had you,
I wanted you but you didn't want me,
So I got to tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Farther, you left me but I never left you,
I needed you but you didn't need me,
So I got to tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Children, don't do what I have done,
I couldn't walk and I tried to run,
So I got to tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Mama don't go,
Daddy come home.
Mama don't go,
Daddy come home.
Mama don't go,
Daddy come home.
Mama don't go,
Daddy come home.
Mama don't go,
Daddy come home.
Mama don't go,
Daddy come home.
Mama don't go,
Daddy come home...
When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, David Bowie's 'Mother' takes a deep dive into the intricacies of father-mother relationships and conveys a feeling of rejection along with an unfulfilled desire. The constantly repeated cries for the parents to either remain or come back to the child underscore the very painful emotions and the need for peace. The Mother song lyrics mostly portray heartbreak, angst, despair, reflection, and solitude. Simultaneously, the composition underlines the issues of parental neglect, yearning, and asking for one more chance, the generational cycle and the final goodbye. The words hint at family disintegration and psychological suffering, which might be a bit too much for the little ones. The vocabulary used is gentle and there are no direct hints of violence, sex, or drug use.
