This song is about the creative process, specifically the birth of art or ideas, rendered through deeply unsettling and visceral imagery. The "white fairy" appears to be a muse figure, a source of inspiration that is both beautiful and violent. She doesn't gently offer ideas, she forcibly impregnates the narrator, dragging him through a tormented night of labor. The "father of all mirrors" seems to represent self-reflection or the inner voice that judges and validates, whispering that even the dark and disturbing things growing inside you are worthy, even beautiful. It's a very Romantic idea, the notion that creativity is not polite or comfortable, but something that takes you over against your will.

The chorus is where the real tension lives. The voice of the mirror is almost parental and tender, telling the narrator "you are the most beautiful child of all" and "even the evil in me is good." That line is key. It suggests a kind of self-acceptance of one's own darkness, framing whatever ugly or transgressive thing is being created as precious rather than shameful. There's a real narcissistic undertone here too, the artist gazing at his own reflection and finding it magnificent, which fits the mirror imagery perfectly.

The final verse is the most extreme, with the narrator watching himself give birth, still being used and degraded in the process, and then consuming the afterbirth. It's grotesque on purpose. Lindemann is pushing the metaphor of artistic creation to its most biological and disturbing extreme, suggesting that the creative act is messy, self-consuming, and even cannibalistic. You devour the waste of your own making. The overall tone is ecstatic and horrified at the same time, which is very much the Rammstein sweet spot.
