We Were Here

Dark Synthpop Cinematic Synthpop Dreamwave Atmospheric Synthwave

I imagined someone driving through a deserted city during the last hours of the world. The lights are shutting off, the radio signal is fading, and in the rearview mirror you can see everything beginning to fall apart. In that moment the mind doesn’t go to history or survival. It goes to the person you loved and the life you shared together. The chorus is that realization hitting all at once. Even if everything disappears, those moments were real. We were here.

// Lyrics

Intro

Instrumental

Verse 1

  1. Transmission fading on the radio
  2. The city lights are going one by one
  3. I'm driving through the neon and the snow
  4. Chasing down the last edge of the sun

Pre-Chorus

  1. And I can feel it in the frequency
  2. The static where the signal used to be

Chorus

  1. Oh, we were here
  2. Underneath the satellites
  3. We were here
  4. Burning like the northern lights
  5. Before the sky came down and took it all away
  6. We were here
  7. We were here

Instrumental

Instrumental

Verse 2

  1. The highways stretching out like fading veins
  2. The billboards dark, the signals turning cold
  3. I hold the wheel like nothing's gonna change
  4. And let the night take everything I know

Pre-Chorus

  1. But I can see it in the rearview now
  2. The world we made still glowing somehow

Chorus

  1. Oh, we were here
  2. Underneath the satellites
  3. We were here
  4. Burning like the northern lights
  5. Before the sky came down and took it all away
  6. We were here
  7. We were here

Bridge

  1. Let the signal hold a little longer
  2. Let the light stay in the sky
  3. Oh-oh, stay alive
  4. Let me feel it one more time now
  5. What a way to say goodbye
  6. Oh-oh, say goodbye

Synth Solo

Instrumental

Final Chorus

  1. Oh, we were here
  2. Underneath the satellites
  3. We were here
  4. Burning like the northern lights
  5. Before the sky came down and took it all away
  6. We were here
  7. We were here

Outro

  1. We were here
  2. (We were here)
  3. We were here

I hold the wheel like nothing's gonna change And let the night take everything I know
