this is one of my favourite songs and i've listened to it many times. personally i think this song is more as just a love story. Wir sind helden songs are obviously love-songs but they also work a lot of social critic in them.
i think it's about their band being put on a "piédestal" by 'critics' how they fear not being able to live up to their reputation; overexposure will kill their music. they think that the praise and fame they got (out of their first album) was quite cheap (hence the statue in front of the aldi) and thus likely to be broken.
another sentence that struck me was "Siehst du die Inschrift da unten bei den Schuhen
Da steht in goldener Schrift wir sollen in Ewigkeit ruhen"
that sentence always remembers me of cologne. the edith stein "denkmal.
of course there is also the connexion to a love story namely the ending scene of "jeux d'enfants" (2003) that is clear in the sentence "Wenn uns jetzt hier wer erwischt sind wir für immer vereint in Beton und Seligkeit" but because the song was on their 2003 album i think it's just a case of coincidence.
and after all any song is just about what it means to YOU.
