Kjenner Ingenting
Bendik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Det e bare veien ut
Alle andre dekkar til
Min innpust og min timen aldri
Om vi vil stå her uten drift
Di tunge pust
e min trygge søvn
og dagar uten
e min uendelighet
og dagar du forsvinner
e dagar eg vil
vekk
Vekk fra deg og meg
Kjenner ingenting, ingenting
Eg står her i et ensomt rom
Og eg roper alt eg kan
Di tunge pust
e min trygge søvn
og dagar uten
e min uendelighet
og dagar du forsvinner
e dagar eg vil




du og eg i det evige
e det evige i meg

Overall Meaning

The Norwegian lyrics of Bendik's song "Kjenner Ingenting" express feelings of detachment and loneliness towards an unrequited love interest. The opening lines, "Det e bare veien ut, Alle andre dekkar til" translate to "It's just the way out, Everything else covers up." The singer is prioritizing their own well-being and recognizing that it's time to move on, but feels overwhelmed by the weight of their emotions. They cannot escape their own thoughts, as expressed in the line "Min innpust og min timen aldri" which means "My breathing and my time never stop."


The following lines use the metaphor of heavy breathing to represent the singer's internal struggles. They find comfort in the sound of someone else's breath, someone they could've shared a life with, but ultimately they must exist alone. The line "Kjenner ingenting, ingenting" translates to "Feeling nothing, nothing" which highlights the feeling of emotional numbness. The last line of the song, "Du og eg i det evige, e det evige i meg" means "You and I in eternity, eternity is in me." This implies that the love interest still holds a deep place in the singer's heart, but the singer has come to terms with the fact that they must find a way to let go.
