Story Behind The Song
Lack of confidence is an obstacle for the guy in the song. Still, he puts on a happy face because he can't let others know that he doubts himself if he wants to get ahead. He finds comfort in his partner, who encourages him to 'help him rise above himself' and at times just to get lost on the 'silent streets' of the city with him.
Song Description
This is a dreamy tune with a catchy, simple chorus - the refrain of "Nobody Hast To Know . . .". It has been described by at least one hit-writing songwriter as being in the same vein as the English artist Example. There are some cool guitar lines in it that are reminiscent of Nile Rodgers. This song is a new one and will appear on the next album by Wilfred N & the Grown Men.

Lyrics
Everyday I start my day
just like everybody else
I smile when people pass me by
They'll think I feel good about myself
Maybe I'm forgettable
Maybe I'm a sorry soul
What if I'm not even a contender?
I don't know
Nobody has to know
Nobody has to know
I don't need to be in the limelight
When I can stay underground with you
'cause the two of us is magic
You and me and me and you
There's a world inside the world
That's where I want to be
Just float down the silent streets
When real life is too much like it seems
Nobody has to know
Nobody has to know
No rain
please no more rain
I'm ready now for sunlight
Keep to the business of getting ahead
And when you help me rise above myself
I can get out of my head
I need your inspiration
To keep in good condition
. . . and some proper nutrition
Nobody has to know
Nobody has to know
Nobody has to know
Nobody has to know
