Discover the story of the song > Jeg er en by! – Anne Grete Preus

The protagonist in these lyrics is describing herself as a city with many streets. She admits that she only knows a few of these streets and always takes the same familiar route when traveling. She is drawn to familiar patterns and tends to go to a place of blame when she feels bad. However, she knows that it's strange to look for love in loneliness. She wants to explore and know every corner of herself, to sit on benches, walk through squares, and dance on rooftops. She wants to go up high in the tall tower and feel free. In these unfamiliar places, she feels free to be herself. Life takes unexpected paths that she may be afraid to take, but she wants to dive in and understand what she can't comprehend. She finds freedom in walking on unknown roads.
