Labyrinth
Wir sind Helden Lyrics

The song "Labyrinth" by Wir sind Helden is a poetic representation of the disorientation and confusion that one can experience when searching for love. The lyrics narrate the singer's journey as they navigate through the uncharted territory of romantic love. The opening lines, "Ich hab mich in dir verlaufen" (I've lost myself in you), paint a picture of the singer's world being turned upside down by the object of their affection. The singer has lost their bearings, and in their confusion, they are unable to discern which way to go.

The chorus, "Kein Unten, kein Oben, keine Sonne, kein Wind, alle Wege verwoben, ich stolpere blind durch dein Labyrinth" (No down, no up, no sun, no wind, all paths intertwined, I stumble blind through your labyrinth), further reinforces this theme of being lost and confused. The imagery of a labyrinth adds layers of complexity to the lyrics. Labyrinths are often used as symbols of journeys, both physical and metaphorical. The use of a labyrinth in this song suggests that the journey to love is not straightforward and can be difficult to navigate.

Towards the end of the song, the singer admits to having fallen for the object of their affection, even though they had lost their sense of direction and had stumbled along the way. The song concludes with the lines, "Ich hab mich in dir verlaufen, Wäre fast erfroren, Musste den Kompass verkaufen, hab den Faden verloren, und immer wieder von vorn" (I've lost myself in you, I would have frozen, I had to sell my compass, I've lost my way, and started over again). These lines evoke a sense of determination, resilience and the willingness to start afresh.
