Ben Ik Je Kwijt
Karin Bloemen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Praat dan met me, maak geluid hehehe
Smijt met deuren, scheldt me uit
En gooi maar borden op de grond
Maar alsjeblieft hou niet je mond
Want liever heb ik dat je gaat
Dan dat je niet meer praat
Maar laat me hier niet smekend staan
Vloek maar, trek maar aan mijn haar
Duw me dan je woede maar
Want liever heb ik dat je vecht
Dan dat je niets meer zegt
Refr.:
Ben ik je kwijt
Is alles nu voltooid verleden tijd
Ik mis je warmte en geborgenheid
Waarom die grote onverschilligheid
Is het voorbij
Is het dan over
Tussen jou en mij
Is dit het beste voor ons allebei
Is het voorbij?
Wow
Ga dan weg als je dat wilt
Jij bent toch allang verkild
Nee er is niets meer aan te doen
Geef me maar een laatste zoen
Want liever heb ik dat je gaat
Dan dat je hier zo staat
Refr.
Je maakt me gek, ik kan dit niet
Ik heb zo geen bestaan
Je bent al bij mij weg
Je hoeft alleen nog maar te gaan
Ben ik je kwijt
Is alles nu voltooid verleden tijd
Ik mis je warmte en geborgenheid
Waarom die grote onverschilligheid
Is het voorbij
Is het dan over
Tussen jou en mij
Is dat het beste voor ons allebei
Is het voorbij?
The song "Ben Ik Je Kwijt" by Karin Bloemen is about the pain of losing someone and the frustration of being left in the dark about the reasons for their departure. The singer begs the person to speak up, even if it means throwing things and screaming, because anything is better than the silence and ambiguity of their current situation. The singer would rather have a fight and a definitive end to the relationship than be left guessing and wondering what went wrong. The refrain of the song emphasizes the singer's feelings of loss and confusion, asking if the relationship is really over and if the best thing for both parties is to go their separate ways.
The song is a powerful exploration of the emotions and conflicts that arise from the end of a relationship. The lyrics convey the singer's desperate desire for closure and the pain of being left behind by someone they loved. The song is characterized by a strong sense of emotional intensity, with the singer's raw honesty and vulnerability shining through in every line.
