Being a common male first name in Norway, one probably don’t expect the stunning voice of Silje Halstensen coming at you. The powerful sound of Bendik has made her and her band a live favourite in Norway. Constantly developing the sound, the red thread is the amazing intensity and massive sound they are able to produce. Many would probably say that Bendik has got a very Nordic sound, and they wouldn’t be very far off assuming correctly. The fact that Halstensen sings in her native Norwegian dialect obviously emphasises this quite a lot, and is also central in the way we listen to this band. It’s just really hard to resist this.

Bli her
Bendik Lyrics

Det som er vanskelig å glemme
Hvorfor kan du ikkje glemme meg?
Eg er en av dine alle
Du gjør meg til ingenting
Eg vet hvem du prøver å være
Og hvem eg vil du skal bli
Men likevel er du hos meg hver natt
Og alt eg føler blir usynlig

Og alt eg trenger er en som er her
Selv om eg er en av mange nå
Så bare bli her nå
Vi kan ikkje gi oss nå
Bare bli her nå
Så bare bli her nå
Så bare bli her nå
Vi kan ikkje gi oss nå
Bare bli her nå
Bare bli her nå
For du holder meg tilbake
Fra å være mer enn din
Du vet at eg forsvinner
Men så lenge eg får ligge med deg
Eg slipper ikkje taket
Eg gjør alltid som du vil
For hver gang du er her så glemmer eg alt
For du og eg er noe helt annet
Og alt eg trenger er en som er her
Selv om eg er en av mange nå
Så bare bli her nå
Vi kan ikkje gi oss nå
Bare bli her nå
Så bare bli her nå
Så bare bli her nå
Vi kan ikkje gi oss nå
Bare bli her nå
Bare bli her nå
Så bare bli her nå
Vi kan ikkje gi oss nå
Bare bli her nå
Så bare bli her nå
Så bare bli her nå
Vi kan ikkje gi oss nå

Bare bli her nå
Bare bli her nå

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bendik's song "Bli her" express the feeling of being held back by a lover who cannot let go. The first lines talk about a difficult memory that is hard to forget, even though the lover wants to forget the singer. The singer feels like they are nothing to their lover, who has found someone else, yet, they are still holding on to the relationship. The singer understands who their lover is trying to be, but they also have an image of who they want their lover to be.

Despite their differences, the lover still spends the night with the singer, and they feel invisible in their presence. The singer wants someone to be there for them, even though they are one among many for their lover. In the chorus, the singer begs their lover to stay, hold them back, and not let them go, even though they know they are not what their lover wants. The singer feels like they are being held back from being more than just their lover's partner, but they do not want to let go. They always do what their lover asks them to do and forget everything when they are with them.

Overall, "Bli her" is a song that reflects the struggle of a relationship where one is holding onto something that has moved past them. Still, they cannot seem to let go, and they feel like they need their lover to be with them, even if it is just for a moment.

Det som er vanskelig å glemme
The memories that are hard to forget

Hvorfor kan du ikkje glemme meg?
Why can't you forget me?

Eg er en av dine alle
I am just one among many for you

Du gjør meg til ingenting
You make me feel worthless

Eg vet hvem du prøver å være
I know who you are trying to be

Og hvem eg vil du skal bli
And who I want you to become

Men likevel er du hos meg hver natt
But still, you are with me every night

Og alt eg føler blir usynlig
And all my feelings become invisible

Og alt eg trenger er en som er her
And all I need is someone who is here

Selv om eg er en av mange nå
Even though I am just one among many now

Så bare bli her nå
So just stay here now

Vi kan ikkje gi oss nå
We can't give up now

For du holder meg tilbake
Because you hold me back

Fra å være mer enn din
From being more than yours

Du vet at eg forsvinner
You know that I am disappearing

Men så lenge eg får ligge med deg
But as long as I get to sleep with you

Eg slipper ikkje taket

Eg gjør alltid som du vil
I always do what you want

For hver gang du er her så glemmer eg alt
Because every time you are here, I forget everything

For du og eg er noe helt annet
Because you and I are something completely different

Så bare bli her nå
So just stay here now

Vi kan ikkje gi oss nå
We can't give up now

Bare bli her nå
Just stay here now

Så bare bli her nå
So just stay here now

Vi kan ikkje gi oss nå
We can't give up now

Bare bli her nå
Just stay here now

Så bare bli her nå
So just stay here now

Vi kan ikkje gi oss nå
We can't give up now

Bare bli her nå
Just stay here now

Så bare bli her nå
So just stay here now

Vi kan ikkje gi oss nå
We can't give up now

Bare bli her nå
Just stay here now
