about

The song was written during the long and lonely period of pandemic isolation. As the streets of Copenhagen lay desolate and dark, The New Investors met in their studio sanctuary to record this song for their upcoming album.

While the feeling of social deprivation and lost youth increased in the outside world, the song evolved into an up-tempo hymn. It celebrates our basic human urge to break out of this miserable isolation and find a sanctuary where we can be more than just ourselves.

lyrics

Underneath the city there’s a place for us to go
Hidden in the ruins of the night
Waiting for the secret code to light up on your phone
The curfew’s on we must move on let’s go

You don’t have to be yourself
You don’t have to be yourself tonight
And I don’t have to understand a thing
Cause I don’t even know your name
I don’t even know your name at all
Pretend that we don’t realize this is the last goodbye

Sneaking through the alleyways they’ve come to be redeemed
In a crowded basement underground
They’ve come here to escape pandemic isolation
To celebrate the new community that we have found

You don’t have to be yourself
I don’t even know your name

You don’t have to be yourself
You don’t have to be yourself tonight
And I don’t have to understand a thing
Cause I don’t even know your name
I don’t even know your name at all
Pretend that we don’t realize this is the last goodbye
