Rammstein-mutter
I think it's about a test tube baby or the lead singer's opinion against coloning but I'm probably wrong, some of the lyrics seems like it's not in a litteral sense, just tell me what you think.
p.s. it's a little well...twisted..but that's what got me though

The tears of a crowd of very old children
I string them on a white hair
I throw the wet chain into the air
and wish that I had a mother
No sun shines for me
there was no breast that cried milk
there is a tube that sticks in my throat
I have no navel on my stomach
Mother
I was not allowed to lick any nipples
and there was no fold to hide in
no one gave me a name
fathered in haste and without sperm
For the mother who never gave birth to me
I have sworn tonight
I will send her a sickness
and afterwards make her sink in the river
Mother
An eel lives in her lungs
on my forehead, a birthmark
remove it with the kiss of a knife
even if it causes me to die
Mother
Oh give me strength

We do this kind of thing in my world history class. To me it sound like you're right about the singer showing his opinion on cloning.

haha ask someone who knows German
the song will make more sense to someone that speaks the language.

I have no navel on my stomach
Mother
I was not allowed to lick any nipples
and there was no fold to hide in
no one gave me a name

......it sounds like a test tube baby or some kind of experiment.
