Forsvinne
Bendik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Men de finner meg igjen
Då tiden blei borte
Då veien blei lang
Tenk hvis ingen kunne vite
At det var det eg ville se
I en evighet av mørke
Ka va eg
Kor va eg
Ka va eg
Kor va eg
Ka va eg
Kor va eg
Ka va eg
Kor va eg
Ka va eg
Kor va eg
Ka va eg
Kor va eg
The lyrics to Bendik's "Forsvinne" are haunting and powerful, with a sense of longing and desperation. The repeated lines "For å bli må eg forsvinne / Men de finner meg igjen" ("To become, I must disappear / But they will find me again") speak to the notion of losing oneself in order to find oneself, only to feel caught in a cycle of searching and being found.
The use of time and distance in the lines "Då tiden blei borte / Då veien blei lang" ("When time disappeared / When the road became long") add to the sense of isolation and disorientation, as if the singer is lost in a vast emptiness with no clear way forward.
The final lines, with their repeated question/answer format ("Ka va eg / Kor va eg") add to the sense of uncertainty and self-doubt, as if the singer is struggling to define themselves and their purpose. The use of repetition throughout the song emphasizes this sense of being trapped in a cycle of searching, disappearing, and reappearing, with no clear resolution in sight.
Overall, "Forsvinne" is a powerful reflection on the struggle to find oneself amidst the vastness of the world, and the ways in which disappearing and reappearing can be both liberating and suffocating at the same time.

For å bli må eg forsvinne
In order to become who I'm supposed to be, I must disappear
Men de finner meg igjen
But they will find me again
Då tiden blei borte
When time disappeared
Då veien blei lang
When the path became long
Tenk hvis ingen kunne vite
Imagine if no one could know
At det var det eg ville se
That this is what I wanted to see
I en evighet av mørke
In an eternity of darkness
I en evighet av meg
In an eternity of myself
Ka va eg
Who was I
Kor va eg
Where was I

I tried to transcribe it, but I'm Swedish so it might not be correct.
Some words are written in Trøndersk, as that is the dialect she sings in.
For å bli må æg forsvinne
Men di finner mæ igjen
Da tiden ble borte
Da veien ble lang
Tenk hvis ingen kunne vite
At det va det æg ville se
I en evighet av mørket
I en evighet av mæ
Ka va æ?
Kor va æ?

To become, I must disappear
But they'll find me again
When the time slipped away
When the road got long
Think, if no one could know
That it was that I would've seen
In an eternity of darkness
In an eternity of me
What was I?
Where was I?

To become, I must disappear
But they'll find me again
When the time slipped away
When the road got long
Think, if no one could know
That it was that I would've seen
In an eternity of darkness
In an eternity of me
What was I?
Where was I?

Holy shit the double-kicks are intense! I loved this song from listening to it, but trying to play it on drums has made me appreciate it on a different level!
