Hi,
I've been looking for some time for a song where in the video a man is walking around the city and everyone has white masks on their faces, finally he decides to put one on too, he goes into some room puts it on and when he comes out he sees, the same lost girl as he just did, he tries to take the mask off but can't. That's how I remember it, I saw it in the years somehow 85 - 95, I don't know if it was a Polish band or not, I even checked Papa Dance.
I saw that some time ago one person also searched for it, unsuccessfully, she described it like this:
"A song from the 80s ( I thought it was Papa Dance, but it's not on yt), in the video all the people on the street have white masks on, only one person is without one. He finally decides to put it on, like the others, and then he meets another person without a mask. He tries to take it off, but then it turns out that there is another one underneath, and another one, and another one. When I was a kid the video scared me and I wanted to watch it years later, but I can't find it anywhere. Any ideas?"
People in white masks 80s - 90s

I've also been haunted by this video since I was a kid. And unfortunately I never found anything either. Good luck
I'm looking for it too, let me know if you find it somewhere
I have the same thing. I'm looking for this music video.
Early 80s, so up to about 1986, the TV was black and white but the video was rather black and white.
I remembered it like this, a young boy wakes up in a world where everyone has these white identical masks, a city sort of English, brick buildings. At first, panicked, he runs, people accost him, he pulls away and continues to run, I remember children walking in twos and so on. Then he no longer runs, he walks resignedly, in some alley by a barrel he makes himself such a mask and puts it on. Then he walks down the street and sees a girl running away , he accosts her but she pulls away, tries to pull off the mask but can no longer.
Every few years I look for this on the Internet, today I found you and the person Azrenis on reddit who gave such a description
A music video with a dude appearing to a world where everyone has creepy white masks, he makes himself a mask that's the same and puts it on, later he finds a girl who doesn't have a mask either but when he tries to take his mask off, it's stuck to his face and won't come off. Last saw it in the 80s on the TV in Poland
I have to find it , as if seeing it will complete something and change in my life ;)
I sat like a fool and continued to look for it.
The track I can't check, I asked ChatGPT, I gave him a description and as usual he wanted to fool me by giving nonsense but I pestered him and pestered him . Until he answered:
It seems that the description matches the music video for the song "New Dawn Fades" by Joy Division. The video is in black and white, and describes scenes with a boy who wears a white mask, and the people around him also wear similar masks. The band Joy Division was active in the 1970s, but their influence was also felt in the 1980s.
I searched and this particular video is not there, in general there are not many of their old videos and the ones I have seen with atmosphere and style give hope that this could be a good lead. I'm afraid to get my hopes up ;)
It seems to me that it was a Polish performer. I would look for the vibe of Citizen GC or something like that.
