Villains In The Night by Evran from Bergen Norway

i wrote this song at the end of my paternity leave. i spent a lot of days taking stroller walks with my daughter to places i used to frequent a lot in my early teenage years. it gave me this weird feeling of nostalgia. i started to think about choices that i have made, and how i could have been in a totally different and much worse place.

the writing process started when i was fooling around with this "legend of zelda" dungeon theme thing on the piano. then it evolved into a more song structure thing, vocal melodies started to appear, and then the chorus section hit and i knew this had to be my second single.

the theme of the song is about the first innocent rebellions of teenagers. breaking your curfew, bending the rules and doing mischievous things at night etc. they are all very innocent acts, you're just trying to awkwardly figure out who you are. but in those moments you felt like a villain in the night.

the story of the lyrics is painting a picture of a group of friends being out at night, discussing, partying and goofing about. trying not to conform to societies norms. finding comfort with their "devils" because they do not judge or mind their behavior.

lyrics:
hide on your shelf now
that's how they get you
fight the illusions
beautiful previews

villains in the night until it ends
lets be villains in the night until it ends

dance with your devils
they do not mind you
while we are tempted
by our worldview

we're villains in the night until it ends
we're villains in the night until it ends

your looking for a face you cant re
we're dancing here but there's no sound at all
so take the time to save a friend
lets be villains in the night until it ends

we're villains in the night until the end
we're villains in the night until the end
we're villains in the night until the end
we're villains in the night until the end
