Nicht verdient
Silbermond Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Uh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Uh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Hab' viel zu lang an uns geglaubt
Mit deinem Ego-Trip hast du uns're ganze Zeit versaut
Ich kann es immer noch nicht begreifen
Oh, wie blind war ich, ich sah nicht deine Oberflächlichkeiten

Du hast mich nicht mehr verdient
Und ich lass' dich hier stehen, und schau' nicht mehr zurück
Denn du hältst dich wohl für ideal
Hey, mach doch was du willst, es ist mir scheißegal

Wie konnt' ich dir nur so vertrauen
Ich habe nicht gecheckt was in dir steckt
Ich konnt' dich nicht durchschauen
Und dir tut's nicht wirklich weh, ich weiß
Denn für dich, war das mit uns doch nur so 'n Zeitvertreib

Du hast mich nicht mehr verdient
Und ich lass' dich hier stehen, und schau' nicht mehr zurück
Denn du hältst dich wohl für ideal
Hey, mach doch was du willst, es is mir scheißegal

Du hast mich nicht mehr verdient
Und ich lass' dich hier stehen, und schau' nicht mehr zurück
Denn du hältst dich wohl für ideal
Hey, mach doch was du willst, es ist mir scheißegal

Und es ist mir egal, wie es dir geht

Denn ich schau' nicht mehr zurück
Du hast mich nicht verdient, oh-oh-oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Silbermond's song Nicht verdient reflect a story of a broken relationship where one partner has betrayed the trust of the other. The singer has held onto the relationship for too long, believing in their partner's ideals and personality, but eventually, their partner's ego-trip ruined everything. The singer confesses their blindness to their partner's superficial tendencies and realizes they were not deserving of their love and trust. As a result, the singer decides to move on from the relationship and leave their partner behind, not turning back.

The song highlights the theme of self-worth and recognizing when we are not treated in a way that we deserve. The singer acknowledges that their former partner had a different perception of themselves, considering themselves ideal, and proceeds to distance themselves from the toxic relationship, acknowledging that their partner can do whatever they wish with their life, as it no longer concerns them.

Overall, this song expresses the theme of self-empowerment and taking control of one's own life when love and trust have been broken.

Hab viel zu lang an uns geglaubt
I believed in us for too long

Mit deinem Ego-Trip hast du unsre ganze Zeit versaut
You ruined all our time with your egotistic behavior

Ich kann es immer noch nicht begreifen
I still can't understand it

Oh wie blind war ich, ich sah nicht deine Oberflächlichkeiten
I was so blind, I couldn't see your superficialities

Du hast mich nicht mehr verdient
You don't deserve me anymore

Und ich lass dich hier stehen, und schau nicht mehr zurück
I leave you here and won't look back

Denn du hältst dich wohl für ideal
Because you think you're perfect

Hey mach doch was du willst, es is mir scheiß-egal
Hey, do whatever you want, I don't care

Wie konnt' ich dir nur so vertrauen
How could I trust you so much

Ich habe nicht gechecked was in dir steckt, ich konnt' dich nicht durchschauen
I didn't realize what was inside you, I couldn't see through you

Und dir tut's nicht wirklich weh, ich weiß
And I know it doesn't really hurt you

Denn für dich war das mit uns doch nur so'n Zeitvertreib
Because for you, it was just a pastime

Und es ist mir egal wie es dir geht
And I don't care how you're doing

Du hast mich nicht verdient, allein
You don't deserve me, alone
