Keine Helden Lyrics in English by Kontra K, SDP

Scherbenhaufen literally translates to "pile of shards" or "heap of broken glass." It's a vivid and evocative compound noun that paints a strong picture of destruction and chaos.

In the context of the song, the artist sings, "Aus dem Scherbenhaufen um mich bau' ich für dich noch ein Haus" (From the pile of shards around me, I'll still build a house for you). This powerful imagery conveys resilience and unwavering dedication, promising to create something beautiful and stable even from a broken, messy situation. It's a memorable word that captures the song's theme of loyalty and overcoming adversity.

Kontra K and SDP team up for "Keine Helden" [No Heroes], a song that's all about embracing your imperfections and standing by the people you care about, even when things get tough. They're not claiming to be perfect or destined for greatness – "Wir sind keine Helden / Keiner, der uns ein Denkmal baut / Nein, wir werden nie Arzt oder Astronaut" [We are no heroes / No one will build us a monument / No, we will never be doctors or astronauts].

But despite not being heroes, they promise fierce loyalty: "Doch für dich geh' ich drauf / Werd' dir helfen / Selbst, wenn ich Hilfe brauche" [But for you I'll go down / I'll help you / Even if I need help]. It's a powerful message about finding strength in vulnerability and building something beautiful out of chaos, like when they say, "Aus dem Scherbenhaufen um mich bau' ich für dich noch ein Haus" [Out of the pile of shards around me I'll build you a house]. It's a blunt, honest look at friendship and sticking together through thick and thin.
