Søren Torpegaard Lund:
Søren Torpegaard Lund is a Danish singer, songwriter, and stage actor who rose to public prominence through his leading roles in successful musicals and for hosting the Danish version of the musical reality show in which he participated. Throughout his career, Søren has stood out for his exceptional vocal abilities and his talent for delivering lyrics in an emotional and theatrical manner, making him one of the most respected artists in Denmark.
After years of conquering Denmark’s largest stages in various roles, he decided that this year he was ready to step into the spotlight as a solo artist with a song in his mother tongue, expressing his depth and sincerity as an artist. This year, he secured a major victory with the song “Før vi går hjem,” in a powerful evening where he managed to touch the hearts of both the judges and the public alike. With this win, Søren closed an emotional personal circle and secured his place as Denmark’s representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, held in Vienna.
“Før vi går hjem”:
The song describes a total and dangerous surrender to a destructive relationship, one that unfolds within the fog and euphoria of nightlife. The narrator depicts an internal struggle between the logic that tells him to walk away and the body that craves touch, using imagery of fire and consumption, such as letting the night stand in flames or holding each other until they burn to death. The sense of losing control is heightened by descriptions of sharp and sweet flavors melting on the tongue, turning the attraction into an uncontrollable physical instinct. Much like the cycle of immediate gratification, the narrator is aware that the morning will bring regret, yet he consciously chooses to sink into the neon lights and smoke, pleading for the night to never end, even at the cost of having his heart crushed once again.
Lyrics of “Før vi går hjem”:
Min krop den skriger
Kan du høre den?
Jeg burde sig’ nej
Sagd’ det var sidste gang
Men du har mig
Ja du har mig
Du er så syrlig
Du smelter på min tunge
Helt ustyrlig
Jeg så fucking dum
Men du har mig
Ja du har mig
Kys mig tag mit hjerte knus det igen
Men please sig den her aften aldrig vil ende
Vi la’r natten stå i flammer og glemmer os selv
Holder om hinanden til vi brænder ihjel
Glemmer at vi vågner og fortryder igen
Før vi går, før vi går
Før vi går, før vi går hjem
Tror jeg forsvinder
I neon lys og røg
Natten binder
Mig til dine øjne
Sig du har mig
Du har mig
Kys mig tag mit hjerte knus det igen
Men please, sig den her aften aldrig vil ende
Vi la’r natten stå i flammer og glemmer os selv
Holder om hinanden til vi brænder ihjel
Glemmer at vi vågner og fortryder igen
Før vi går, før vi går
Før vi går, før vi går hjem
Kys mig tag mit hjerte knus det igen
(Knus det igen)
Men please sig den her aften aldrig vil ende
Før vi går hjem
Kys mig tag mit hjerte knus det igen
Hjertet ved hvad det vil
Bar’ lad det bestemme
Vi la’r natten stå i flammer og glemmer os selv
Holder om hinanden til vi brænder ihjel
Glemmer at vi vågner og fortryder igen
Før vi går, før vi går
Før vi går, før vi går hjem
Vi la’r natten stå i flammer og glemmer os ѕelv
Holder om hinanden til vi brænder ihjel
Glemmer аt vi vågner og fortryder igen
Før vi går, før vi går
Før vi går, før vi går hjem
