Interpretation
The song "Nicht verdient" by
Capital Bra is about a relationship that, from his perspective, has failed. The protagonist feels that his love and attention are not appreciated by the other person. The chorus "Don't tell me you love me", "Don't tell me you're in love" and "Don't tell me you need me" reflects his frustration and disappointment. He doesn't want to hear anymore that she loves or needs him, as he believes she doesn't deserve his love.
The lines "She's alone in the hotel and she's leaving / She's trying to forget that I exist" indicate that she's trying to forget him and move on from the relationship. He describes how he moves on in his professional life ("And I'm flying in the Ferrari, taking a few laps / No time for you, the customers want to see me") and leaves her behind in her emotional pain.
He feels deceived and lied to by her, which is expressed in the lines "Your gaze says more than a thousand words / But each of those words is a lie". He is disappointed and hurt, as he believed she was worth it ("You have disappointed me so much, I swear, I mean it seriously / I have deceived myself so much, I thought you were worth it").
Despite his disappointment, he shows strength and comfort in the love for his daughter, which is expressed in the lines "But my daughter Hana heals any pain". He has fought for the relationship ("Yeah, how many times have I fought for you and for myself?") and shown respect ("For you, that was a weakness, but for me, it was respect"), but ultimately he has realized that his efforts were not appreciated.
Overall, the song is about betrayal, disappointment, and the end of a relationship, but also about self-respect and the strength to move on.
