Dec 17th 2010!⃝the song is about a clone, and the song title "mutter" (mother) relates to the mother, that the narrator would love to have. i think the once said it in an interview, but i also speak german so i can kinda guess what they try to say.
the first lines "die traenen greiser kinderschar, ich zieh sie auf ein weises haar" probably mean that in science, when they tried to create clones, they were unhealthy and grew old faster, so the children are, even if they are young or just born, look old. "greis" means very old. they are crying because they are unhappy, obviously, and till (or the narrator) plays with their tears as a pasttime. the white hair is because they are all old.
in the song he says that he wishes to have a mother, a "sun" (if you know the song "sonne" [sun], you'll know that rammstein likes to see some women as "suns", like shining and beautiful). going on you'll find evidence for him being a clone, cause he needs medicine, has no birthmark,...
in the second part of the song he lets you know how he feels about being what he is. even if he wishes for a mother, he still hates the woman, that never gave him birth. its kinda that up-and-down-thing, when your feelings go in opposite directions.
