Song meaning of Eminem - Mockingbird (Deutsche Übersetzung) by Genius Deutsche Übersetzungen

Well, well, well, it looks like Eminem is trying to take on the role of a rapper-daddy-therapist in Mockingbird. He starts off by telling his daughter that he knows she misses her mama and him, but he's doing his best to give her a life he never had. Typical parental guilt-trip, no surprises there. He then goes on to mention how he can see sadness in her eyes even when she's smiling, and it hits right in the feels. But don't worry, Daddy's here to save the day and keep away all the bad dreams.

Now, let's talk about how Eminem plays the martyr card by talking about how he's always on the move, and mama's in the news all the time. He tries to shield his daughters from the fame and the hate, but no matter how hard he tries, things just keep getting worse. And just when we think he's going to get all mushy with the "we'll always have each other" spiel, he pulls a sharp left by revealing how he and their mother don't work as a couple and are probably never getting back together. Ouch!

But, hey, Eminem tries to make it up to his little girls by reminding them of the Christmas when they had no money and mama had to lie to make them think it was all from him. And he goes on to talk about how mama tried to save up for their education but it got stolen, and how everything started falling apart. Honestly, it sounds like a pity party for himself at this point, but he still manages to pull at our heartstrings by admitting how hard it was for him to see his girls go through all of it.

Then, we get to the chorus where he tells his daughters to shh and not cry, because everything's going to be okay and he's there for them. He reassures them that mama is doing fine and they don't have to worry. But, wait a minute, was he just talking to the bird in the background? This is like the movie Bird Box, but with a bird instead of blindfolds!

In the second half of the song, Eminem takes us on a trip down memory lane and starts talking about how he met Dr. Dre and started making music in California. But, as we all know, with success comes sacrifices, and in Eminem's case, it was his relationship with the mother of his children. He admits to not fully understanding what was going on at the time, but wishes he could have shielded his daughters from it all.

And then, just when we think he's going to get sentimental again, he goes for the shock factor by threatening to break the neck of a mockingbird if it doesn't sing and smashing a jeweler's head against the wall if the ring he bought for his daughter doesn't shine. Looks like that tough guy image is still intact after all these years.

Overall, if you're in the mood for some intense emotional whiplash, Eminem's Mockingbird is the song for you!
