Deck Space
Kenin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Serves to remind again, so instead,
Thanks for the information,
But let it die instead, and move on.
These sovereign ways become trying now,
Words like destined seem cheap somehow,
So give up and sort around the core,
Took back the moment, now give back the time,
It's needed for another venture still undefined,
The fleeting power feeling of a worthless win,
The bounty of the stubbornest player in this game.
These sovereign ways become trying now,
Words like destined seem cheap somehow,
So give up and sort around the core,
Like a tour in a hotel brochure.
In "Deck Space," Kenin is reflecting on the way people tend to hold on to information, even when it's no longer relevant or useful. When someone brings up a topic that has since passed, it can be frustrating and serve as a reminder of something that's best left alone. Instead of dwelling on it, Kenin suggests letting it go and moving forward.
The "sovereign ways" mentioned in the song represent the sense of control that people often try to maintain in their lives. However, Kenin acknowledges that trying to control everything can be exhausting and ultimately futile. The phrase "words like destined seem cheap somehow" suggests that assigning meaning or purpose to every aspect of life can feel contrived.
Rather than attempting to control everything, Kenin encourages listeners to focus on what's truly important to them. The line "sort around the core, like a tour in a hotel brochure" suggests that we should prioritize the things that are most meaningful to us, rather than getting bogged down in details and distractions.

It's needed for another venture still undefined,
We don't know what the future holds, but we need to be ready for it.
The fleeting power feeling of a worthless win,
Sometimes we get a small victory but it doesn't really mean anything in the grand scheme of things.
The bounty of the stubbornest player in this game.
The reward goes to the person who refuses to give up, even when things get tough.

This is such a great song. I had it on a demo/promo cd back from college in 2002. Its a shame I can't find it anywhere online. Does anyone know if kenin is still around?
