Welcome to the PokéCommunity
Eurovision Song Contest Event 2023!
Eurovision Song Contest Event 2023!
It's that time again... Eurovision! The 67th edition of the annual music competition will be hosted in Liverpool, United Kingdom on behalf of last year's winners Ukraine, who unfortunately can't host due to the ongoing invasion of their country. The 2023 contest will feature two semi-finals on the 9th and 11th of May, and then the grand final on 13th May.
37 entries will compete for the title this year. From last year's 40 contestants, Bulgaria, Montenegro and North Macedonia have all withdrawn, citing mainly economic reasons.
Eurovision was originally created to foster love, peace, and understanding between people from different cultures, and without borders. To celebrate this, we will assign each poster a random participating country to adopt for the duration of the event, to bring us all closer together! Simply post anything in this thread, and I'll assign you a country!
No matter what part of the world you're from, feel free to show love towards your fellow humans by displaying your assigned country somewhere in your profile or signature (not compulsory of course!)
You can also let us know your favourite songs (in order and no more than 10 please) from the 37 entries in the second post. The song with the most points at the end of the ESC event will be crowned the PokéCommunity Eurovision Champion!
***We will possibly be having other activities / quizes etc. as well, but - as I will be attending Eurovision this year - I haven't quite figured everything out just yet! Keep an eye out in this thread for the latest info!***
You are welcome to chat about anything Eurovision related in this thread, and please remember to vote once you've heard all the songs and have whittled your list down to no more than 10!
We had joint champions last year - The Rasmus representing Finland with their song Jezebel, and Austria who were represented by LUM!X feat. Pia Maria performing Halo! We look forward to seeing who you award the grand prize to in 2023!
If you have any questions, then please don't hesitate to contact me!

English Lyrics:
Hey, do you remember those nights?
They remain a secret....
Come on up x8
The boy is coming from the mountains
And he came here to find it
Goin‘ mad when I whine it
Come babe, come put my hands on your body
Come on closer to me, me ya
Cause I love when ya near near
“Xhamadanin me vija vija”
Come baby put it on me ya
Hey, I will never regret
You will be my secret
Baby feel my body, touch, touch it, I like it
Hey, I will never regret
You will keep my secret
But I do not know, I do not know how I got there
I do not know how else you left me
Even today I want to say it
Even 1 and 2
1, 2, 3
Take it!
You made my life like a game
Plane! You got it, you got it
You know I want it, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to meSomething inside me
Takes my breath away
Don't know what's going on
But I want to make it stop
What's going on?
Having it all
And having it all
But isn't enough
They're falling apart
Just for a word
They're falling apart
They killed love
They're falling apart
And they forgot
How we were a home
A table filled with kids
Love it
Like you used to love it
That love, keep it
Just like the life, you love it
Don't throw stones on it
But just like you used to, love it
That love, keep it
Like the life you love, love it
They're falling apart
Just for a word
They're falling apart
They killed love
They're falling apart
And they forgot
How we were a home
A table filled with kids
Love it
Like you used to love it
That love, keep it
Just like the life, you love it
Don't throw stones on it
But just like you used to, love it
That love, keep it
Like the life you love, love it
Love it, love it
They're falling apart
Love it, love it
Just for a word
They're falling apart
They killed love
Love it, love it
They're falling apart
Love it, love it
And they forgot
How we were a home
A tаble filled with kidѕ
Love it, love it

English Lyrics:
I just wanna make art
Read books and just find someone
Who likes me enough to kiss my face
I wanna explore with him and visit old bookstores
And cute little things, like drink smoothies at near cafes
Oh oh oh…
Drink smoothies at near cafes
Oh oh oh…
Oh future lover, I hope it all comes naturally
I hope our love is quiet outside, but loud inside oh baby
Oh future lover, this song I wrote for you
This song I wrote for you my future lover
I decide to be good, do good, look good
I decide to be good, do good, look good
I decide to be good, do good, look good
I decide to be good, do good, look good
It's like a daydream, but I got some other, better plans
I wanna scream and shout
My heart caught in chains
Cold heart, cold hands, fire in my veins
Fire in my veins, heart in chains
I'm a volcano that is going to explode in a sec'
I'm so hypnotised by someone that I've never ever met
Don't wanna forget, am I dreaming yet?
Poetic dream, I don՚t want it to end oh
3 minutes of making impossible plans
7 minutes of unnecessary panic attacks
Here I go with the coldest hands
Here I go with still no plans oh, still no plans
I can't cool off, no I can't relax
Lord what I'm gonna' do my pain just attacks
I still have the coldest hands
Oh my Lord, my Lord
My pain, my panic attacks, oh
I decide to be good, do good, look good
I decide to be good, do good, look good
I decide to be good, do good, look good
I decide to be good, do good, look good
You're so far away from me
Left alone, far, far away
You and I, silent in my dream
We're loѕt, far, far awаy
I just wanna make art
Read books and just find someone
Who likes me enough to kiss my face
I wanna explore with him and visit old bookstores
And cute little things, like drink smoothies at near cafes
Oh oh oh…
Drink smoothies at near cafes
Oh oh oh…
Oh future lover, I hope it all comes naturally
I hope our love is quiet outside, but loud inside oh baby
Oh future lover, this song I wrote for you
This song I wrote for you my future lover
I decide to be good, do good, look good
I decide to be good, do good, look good
I decide to be good, do good, look good
I decide to be good, do good, look good
It's like a daydream, but I got some other, better plans
I wanna scream and shout
My heart caught in chains
Cold heart, cold hands, fire in my veins
Fire in my veins, heart in chains
I'm a volcano that is going to explode in a sec'

English Lyrics:
Have you ever done anything like this before?
Have you ever done anything like this before?
If you've never done anything like this before
Then you haven't been alive
Have you ever shut all the open doors
Have you ever just walked on out on your own
Have you ever just lost your mind when you try to unwind
Or are you coming right back for more?
I'm here tonight
Promise me you'll hold me till I die
I'm by your side
Promise me it's gonna
Promise me it's gonna be alright
Ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh-oh-oh
Promise me it's gonna be alright
Ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh-oh-oh
Promise me it's gonna be alright
Have you ever been alone too much
Have you ever prayed for human touch
Have you ever just lost a little part of you
To find a little something new?
Cross my heart
Till the sky turns red in the sunrise
Since you told me everything's alright
Ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh-oh-oh
Since you told me everything's alright
Ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh-oh-oh
Promise me it's gonna be alright
I'm here tonight
Promise me you'll hold me till I die
I'm by your side
Promise me it's gonna
Promise me it's gonna
Promise me it's gonna be alright
Alright
(Cross my heart
Till the sky turns red in the sunrise)
Promise me it'ѕ gonna be alright

Alright
Have you ever done anything like this before?

English Lyrics:
Oh my God, you're such a good writer
Oh, it's not me, it's Edgar
Who the hell is Edgar?
There's a ghost in my body and he is a lyricist
It is Edgar Allan Poe, and I think he can't resist
Yeah, his brain is in my hand, and it's moving really fast
Don't know how he possessed me, but I'm happy that he did
'Cause this song is feeling special, and is gonna make me rich
Yeah, the words are spilling out, what the heck is this about?
Oh, mio padre*, there's a ghost in my body, oh oh ohh…

Maybe I should call a doctor or an exorcist
Maybe someone out there knows where Shakespeare is so I can get a taste
What's your IPI? Where's the A&R?
Girl, call Universal, you're about to be a star
Poe, Poe, Poe, Poe, Poe

There's a ghost in my body

Oh, mio padre
(Poe, Poe, Poe…)
There's a ghost in my body
Zero dot zero zero three
Give me two years, and your dinner will be free
Gas station champagne is on me
Edgar cannot pay rent for me
Zero dot zero zero
Zero dot zero zero
Zero dot zero zero three
At least it pays to be funny
Ugh

English Lyrics:
Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system
Please record your message
Ah, I don't know where you are
Or what you're up to
I kinda miss you girl right now
You know, the old days and stuff?
I want you to be here, with me
Just call me back when you get this message okay?
Tell me more about me, you, us
Tell me you love me, baby
More than I trust
And I just want to know:
How do you feel about us
Right now?
I don't know if I'm someone or someone is me
I'm running from the fate and I'm giving up my dream
I'm carrying all the pain
And the sorrow that's in vain
All the games you think I play
Are my ways of staying sane
I shout it from the hills up high
I've nothing – only tears to cry
If I ever learn again to feel the way I did
I'll die from the emotions that I kept down for years, baby
Tell me more about me, you, us
Tell me you love me, baby
More than I trust
And I just want to know:
How do you feel about us
Right now?
I want to buy a land a thousand miles away
From the city that I've never even chosen
I think the reason why is all because of people
Who treat you like a fool and make you wonder for the reason
Now is the time I am passing by the streets
And the places that we used to go to
We thought we'd be back pretty soon but never did
And distance between you and me gets so damn more
Let me tell you one thing, baby
It may change your all thoughts about us
And you won't need to worry again, too
So, let me tell you if you're ready
Hear me out, baby: let's go crazy
I have something that you're looking for
And that is love
Love
Love
Tell me more about me, you, us
Tell me you love me, baby
More than I trust
And I just want to know:
How do you feel аbout uѕ
Right now?

English Lyrics:
And when the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
And it's all because of you
Because of you
Remember when they told us
"You're not good enough"
Then you came into my life
And you changed my world for good
You told me to love myself a bit harder than yesterday
'Cause life is too short and we sure got to celebrate
And when the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
'Cause I know I'm strong
And when the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
And it's all because of you
Because of you
Remember when they tried to break us
But look at us now
You told me the right things at the right time
You got me feeling wild
See now I love myself much more than I did yesterday
'Cause life is too short and we sure got to celebrate
And when the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
'Cause I know I'm strong
When the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
And it's all because of
I'll carry on despite of the things they've said and done
They'll never kill this fire
Your love will take me higher
It's all because of you
Because of you
Well, because of you
Because of you I keep on going, baby, baby, for a brighter day
And when the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
See, I'll carry on because of you
When the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
Say I'll carry on
And when the world got me going crazy
See, I will carry on
And it's all because of you
Because of you
Becаuѕe of you
And when the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
And it's all because of you
Because of you
Remember when they told us
"You're not good enough"
Then you came into my life
And you changed my world for good
You told me to love myself a bit harder than yesterday
'Cause life is too short and we sure got to celebrate
And when the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
'Cause I know I'm strong
And when the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
And it's all because of you
Because of you
Remember when they tried to break us
But look at us now
You told me the right things at the right time
You got me feeling wild
See now I love myself much more than I did yesterday
'Cause life is too short and we sure got to celebrate
And when the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
'Cause I know I'm strong
When the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
And it's all because of
I'll carry on despite of the things they've said and done
They'll never kill this fire
Your love will take me higher
It's all because of you
Because of you
Well, because of you
Because of you I keep on going, baby, baby, for a brighter day
And when the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
See, I'll carry on because of you
When the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
Say I'll carry on
And when the world got me going crazy
See, I will carry on
And it's all because of you
Because of you
Becаuѕe of you
Let 3 - Mama ŠČ!

English Lyrics:
The lights went out
I hit the ground
You didn't mind that I was bleeding out
You filled my life
With minor songs
I loved you but you loved to do me wrong
I miss your kiss, gasoline and a matchstick
Red Lights, flashes, rising out of the ashes
I see you
For who you are
But you can't break a broken heart
You lift me up and leave me in the gutter
Tear me up and move on to another
I'm torn apart but I am a survivor
You can't, you can't break a broken heart
No-o-o
You can't break a broken heart
No-o-o
An all-time low
But I'll get by
And over you I'll find the highest high
You did your best
To do your worst
I got used to all the ways it hurt
Feel the fever telling me that I need her
Science fiction turning into an addiction
I see you
For who you are
But you can't break a broken heart
You lift me up and leave me in the gutter
Tear me up and move on to another
I'm torn apart but I am a survivor
You can't, you can't break a broken heart
No-o-o
You can't break a broken heart
No-o-o
Oh I miss your kiss, gasoline and a matchstick
Red Lights, flashes, rising from the ashes
You lift me up and leave me in the gutter
Tear me up and move on to another
I'm torn apart but I am a ѕurvivor
You can't break a
No-o-o
Oh you can't break a broken
No-o-o
You can't, you can't break a broken heart
You can't, you can't, you can't break a broken heart
You can't, you can't break a broken heart
You can't
You can't break a broken heаrt
The lights went out
I hit the ground
You didn't mind that I was bleeding out
You filled my life

I loved you but you loved to do me wrong

English Lyrics:
My sister won't stand in the corner
Nor will she listen to you
My sister, wild at heart
Will never let you tie her down
My sister won't stand in the corner
Nor will she listen to you
My sister's crown
Don't take it down
Don't take it down
Nobody has right to do it
She's beautiful
And capable
She is her own queen
And she will prove it
You can take your hands back
No one wants more boys dead
We're not your dolls
We're not your dolls
Life's not a moneybag
Blood's on your God's head
You can't steal our souls
You can't steal our souls
My beautiful sister, you are so strong
Brave and the only one, the crown is yours
My beautiful sister, you are so strong
Brave and the only one, the crown is yours
My sister's crown, don't take it down
Give me your hand don't be afraid
Come swim with your sisters
There's no place for hate in our sea
God forbid
Don't be sad
Hop trop, these girls ain't here for you nonstop
Remember we're sisters till the end!
You can take your hands back
No one wants more boys dead
We're not your dolls

English Lyrics:
Do you remember
Said it'd be easier if I was dead
Cause whenever
You tryna start something I'm in my head
Pink skies, red wine
I called you mine
September
Naked by your side
On and off
Couldn't meet me in the middle
I got lost
Still thinking 'bout September
If we could go back to the start
Bet we'd still be falling apart
I'm not scared to love you
But I'm scared of breaking my heart
If we could go back to the start
Bet we'd still be falling apart
I'm not scared to love you
But I'm scared of breaking my heart
Now I remember
I used to tell you all my deepest fears
When fighting
You used 'em just to force some tears
Pink skies
Just like when we were fine
In September
Now I'm crying by your side
On and off
Couldn't meet me in the middle
I got lost
Still thinking 'bout September
If we could go back to the start
Bet we'd still be falling apart
I'm not scared to love you
But I'm scared of breaking my heart
If we could go back to the start
Bet we'd still be falling apart
I'm not scared to love you
But I'm scared of breaking my heart
If we'd go back to the start
You'd still be breaking my heart
If we'd go back to the start
You'd still be breaking my heart
On and off
Couldn't meet me in the middle
I got lost
Still thinking 'bout September
If we could go back to the start
Bet we'd still be falling apart
I'm not scared to love you
But I'm scared of breaking my heart
If we could go back to the start
Bet we'd still be falling apart
I'm not scared to love you
But I'm scared of breaking my heart
If we'd go back to the start
You'd still be breaking my heart
If we'd go back to the start
You'd still be breaking my heart
If we'd go back to the start
You'd still be breaking my heart
If we'd go back to the start
You'd ѕtill be breaking my heаrt
Do you remember
Said it'd be easier if I was dead
Cause whenever
You tryna start something I'm in my head
Pink skies, red wine
I called you mine
September
Naked by your side

English Lyrics:
Now I'm heading home
To solid ground
Realised that all the lies I've told myself have died
Bring me to the place
Where I belong
Filled with all the memories and dreams I have ignored
Aaaaa Aaaa Aaaaa
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
There is one more thing
You need to know
That I forgive myself for all the lies I said before
Now I see the road
Of leading lights
Showing me where I should go and what to leave behind
Aaaa Aaaa
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
You will find a way
To begin again
No more time to waste
Or to play pretend
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
I remember all the things that I went through
All the lies and blurry lines and city lights I knew
Now I'm strong enough to see what lays inside
And I can feel it all
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
You will find a way
To begin again
No more time to waste
Or to play pretend
Now I see myself
Building up а world of bridgeѕ

English Lyrics:
This exhausting week and the many long days are behind
There's only bar and piña colada on my mind
There is some time for a few, the night is still youngish
This icy shell is something I have to demolish
Holding on the drinks with both hands tied on them like a
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, no
There's no tomorrow when I grab a pint tightly like a
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, no
Wanna mess my head up and to free my mind of fear like a
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, no
And I stay on this seat until I have to climb off it like a
A couple piña coladas I have devoured
Yet the expression I have on my face is sour, yeah yeah ye ye yeh
There is some time for a few, the night is still youngish
This icy shell is something I have to demolish
The floor is calling me when I'm no longer so frozen
Like a cha cha cha I am approachin'
Holding on the drinks with both hands tied on them like a
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, no
There's no tomorrow when I grab a pint tightly like a
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, no
Wanna mess my head up and to free my mind of fear like a
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, no
And I stay on this seat until I have to climb off it like a whoa
I head towards the dance floor
Like a cha cha cha
And this world ain't making me scared no more
Like a cha cha cha
When Champagne all over myself I pour
Cha cha cha
One eye keeps turning crossed too far
And talking is so hard when this different side of me does its part
Cha cha cha
I don't usually go and drop my guard, not me
But now I am that guy, now I am that guy
I head towards dance floor
Like a cha cha cha
And this world ain't making me scared no more
Like a cha cha cha
When Champagne all over myѕelf I pour
Like a cha cha cha

English Lyrics:
My heart, my hand, my eyes, my hips
Nothing's mine anymore
I kill myself to give them life
And act like it was nothing
In my hell garden
The plants are watered with the dreams and tears
Even at the top of the highest mountain
You still can't touch the sky
Obviously
All these promises I hear are passing
Like the wind
Obviously
It's always quiet before the storm
Don't you forget
It's always too good to be true
But never too ugly to be unreal
Obviously
This girl little that I was
Will never be the same
I trade my future, to get my past back
But time is treacherous
I look for love but never find it
Like a lost key
It's not clear in my head
I want the truth but I keep avoiding it
You might be on the top of the world
Still your finger won't touch the sky
Obviously
All these promises I hear are passing
Like the wind
Obviously
This girl little that I was
Will never be the same
Because I sing
My life and yours, a little romance
As I stand naked before you
Give me a chance
From you to me, from me to you
Didn't I succeed singing the Great France
It's always too good to be true
But never too ugly to be unreal
Obviously
This girl little that I was
Will never be the sаme
Obviouѕly
My heart, my hand, my eyes, my hips
Nothing's mine anymore
I kill myself to give them life
And act like it was nothing
In my hell garden
The plants are watered with the dreams and tears
Even at the top of the highest mountain
You still can't touch the sky
Obviously
All these promises I hear are passing
Like the wind
Obviously
It's always quiet before the storm
Don't you forget
It's always too good to be true
But never too ugly to be unreal
Obviously
This girl little that I was
Will never be the same
I trade my future, to get my past back
But time is treacherous
I look for love but never find it
Like a lost key
It's not clear in my head
I want the truth but I keep avoiding it
You might be on the top of the world
Still your finger won't touch the sky
Obviously
All these promises I hear are passing
Like the wind
Obviously
This girl little that I was
Will never be the same
Because I sing
My life and yours, a little romance
As I stand naked before you
Give me a chance
From you to me, from me to you
Didn't I succeed singing the Great France
It's always too good to be true
But never too ugly to be unreal
Obviously
This girl little that I was
Will never be the sаme
Obviouѕly

English Lyrics:
Days in a row
I'm thinking, I know
I've got a big faith
My love is my crown
Will be better way
Will be better day now
It is not a secret
Life is love
Thing is known
Like in dreams
Going through the life together
Going through the life together
Like in dreams
Days in a row
I'm thinking, I know
I've got a big faith
My love is my crown
Will be better way
Will be better day now
It is not a secret
Days in a row
I'm thinking, I know
I've got a big faith
My love is my crown
Will be better way
Will be better day now
It is not a secret
Going through the life together
Going through the life together
Days in a row
I'm thinking, I know
I've got a big faith
My love is my crown
Will be better way
Will be better day now
It is not a secret
Days in a row
I'm thinking, I know
My love is not a fake
This feeling is lord
Will be better way
Will be better day now
It is not a secret
My soul's like a fortress
I feel I'm progressed
Words getting worthless
Love is a wordless
Oh…
When life is loved
Loved…
Days in a row
I'm thinking, I know
I've got a big faith
My love is my crown
Will be better way
Will be better day now
It is not а ѕecret
Days in a row

I've got a big faith
My love is my crown

Life is love

English Lyrics:
Blood and glitter
Sweet and bitter
We're so happy we could die
Blood and glitter
What we are is but a choice
A promise to ourselves
We are free to break and change
Never forget? Let it go
This or that? No need to know
Whether above or below
We are all from the same blood
Blood and glitter, sweet and bitter
We're so happy we could die
Blood and glitter, sweet and bitter
We're so happy we could die
Blood and glitter, saint and sinner
We do fall before we rise
Now go, go
Let your blood flow, flow
With broken wings, we'll learn to fly
We are blood and glitter
Keep your head up in the clouds
With two feet on the ground
Life's too fast so make it count
Never forget? Let it go
This or that? No need to know
Whether above or below
We are all from the same blood
Blood and glitter, sweet and bitter
We're so happy we could die
Blood and glitter, saint and sinner
We do fall before we rise
Now go, go
Let your blood flow, flow
With broken wings, we'll learn to fly
We are blood and glitter
Let your blood flow
Blood and glitter
Let your blood flow
Blood and glitter, sweet and bitter
We're so happy we could die
Blood and glitter, sweet and bitter
We're so happy we could die
Blood and glitter, saint and sinner
We do fall before we rise
Now go, go
Let your blood flow, flow
With broken wingѕ, we'll learn to fly
We are blood and glitter
Blood аnd glitter
Blood and glitter
Sweet and bitter
We're so happy we could die

We are all from the same blood
Blood and glitter, sweet and bitter
We're so happy we could die
Blood and glitter, saint and sinner
We do fall before we rise

With broken wings, we'll learn to fly
We are blood and glitter
Let your blood flow
Blood and glitter
Let your blood flow
Blood and glitter, sweet and bitter
We're so happy we could die
Blood and glitter, sweet and bitter
We're so happy we could die

English Lyrics:
Late August
Feet start to shake heart starts to ache
Can't focus
Panic I lay on the floor and I hate
That I'm holding on
My lungs'll break can't stop to make
My mind up
Time starts to rain clouds not afraid
Of the pain they're giving
Anxious the way I'm breathing
Can't say that I am longing for
Another day to break my spirit
Insane and I can tell who's winning
Wish this was something I could just ignore
Well you know what they say
Lost souls make sure no one loses their way
Hurt ones can't stand seeing others in pain
Oh I am both now I got too much on my plate
And I save all the others cause for me it's too…
Nostalgic mind
I miss the days when my heart wouldn't ache and
I'm drowning, time
Quicksand of life, we don't live to die
Now I'm tryna, fight
All of the lights that leave me so blind
As a writer
But I'm not an actor no I don't live my own
Life and I hate my feelings
I'm overwhelmed and heated
Can't say that I am longing for
Another day to break my spirit
Insane and I can tell who's winning
Wish this was something I could just ignore
Well you know what they say
Lost souls make sure no one loses their way
Hurt ones can't stand seeing others in pain
Oh I am both now I got too much on my plate
And I save all the others cause for me it's too…
Well you know what they say
Lost souls make sure no one loses their way
Hurt ones can't stand seeing others in pain
Oh I am both now I got too much on my plate
And I save all the others cause for me it'ѕ too lаte

English Lyrics:
I'm ready to let you go
Won't hold you back no more
Go on spread your wings and fly away
Been carrying you way too long
Like an obsession
I thought you were a living part of me
But I got my power in my hand
You hold no power over me
I'll take my flowers while I can
So let the love shower over me
Oh oh ohh…
You hold no p-p-p-power over me
Oh oh ohh…
You hold no p-p-p-power over me
I'm not doing this dance again
So goodbye old friend
Tired of finding meaning in the dark
I'm releasing all of you
In gratitude
Replacing you with light that fills my heart
But I got my power in my hand
You hold no power over me
I'll take my flowers while I can
So let the love shower over me
Oh oh ohh…
You hold no p-p-p-power over me
I'll take my flowers while I cаn
So let the love ѕhower over me
Oh oh ohh…
You hold no p-p-p-power over me
Oh oh ohh…
You hold no p-p-p-power over me
I'm ready to let you go
Won't hold you back no more
Go on spread your wings and fly away
Been carrying you way too long
Like an obsession
I thought you were a living part of me
But I got my power in my hand
You hold no power over me
I'll take my flowers while I can
So let the love shower over me
Oh oh ohh…
You hold no p-p-p-power over me
Oh oh ohh…
You hold no p-p-p-power over me
I'm not doing this dance again
So goodbye old friend
Tired of finding meaning in the dark

English Lyrics:
We take our first breath
And then we exhale
Then we give it all we got
Until we fail
We get back up again
We take a look around
Oh, life can be a long road
But at least we're not alone
We might be different, we might be unique
You might be a leader, I might be a freak
And we might be different
But under the falling sun
Tonight we are one
We are one
When we rise, we rise like the sun
When we go down, we go down, we go down, we go down
We take our first step
And then we fall
But still we keep on going
Climbing every wall
We keep on fighting
Turning every stone
And life can be a long road
At least we're not alone
We might be different, we might be unique
You might be a leader, I might be a freak
And we might be different
But under the falling sun
Tonight we are one
We are one
When we rise, we rise like the sun
When we go down, we go down, we go down
We are one
(We might be different, we might be unique)
We are one
(You might be a leader, I might be a freak)
When we rise, we rise like the sun
When we go down, we go down, we go down, we go down
We are one
(We might be different, we might be unique)
You might be a leader, I might be a freak
We might be different, but under the falling ѕun
Tonight we аre one
We take our first breath
And then we exhale
Then we give it all we got
Until we fail
We get back up again
We take a look around
Oh, life can be a long road
But at least we're not alone
We might be different, we might be unique
You might be a leader, I might be a freak
And we might be different
But under the falling sun
Tonight we are one
We are one

When we go down, we go down, we go down, we go down
We take our first step
And then we fall
But still we keep on going
Climbing every wall
We keep on fighting
Turning every stone
And life can be a long road
At least we're not alone
We might be different, we might be unique
You might be a leader, I might be a freak
And we might be different
But under the falling sun
Tonight we are one
We are one
When we rise, we rise like the sun
When we go down, we go down, we go down
We are one
(We might be different, we might be unique)
We are one

When we rise, we rise like the sun
When we go down, we go down, we go down, we go down

Hey, you don't like the way I'm talking
Hey, so you stand there keep on call me names
No, I'm not your enemy so
If you're gonna do it, don't do it
Hey, do you wanna check my DNA?
Older stories, time to go away
And believe in fairytales oh
If you're gonna do it…
I'm gonna stand here like a unicorn
Out here on my own
I got the power of a unicorn
Don't you ever learn?
That I won't look back
I won't look down
I'm going up
You better turn around
The power of a unicorn
The power of a unicorn
History caught in a loop
Don't you wanna change it?
You know that we can, you and me
Can write a new book
Don't you wanna change it now?
It's gonna be

English Lyrics:
We're the only ones awake in the whole universe
And I still don't know your desert well
Maybe it's somewhere in my heart
Where the sun never shines
Where sometimes I lose you
But if I want I get you
We're a book on the floor in an empty house
Which looks like ours
Coffee with lemon
To fight a hangover
You look like a blurry photo
And we screwed up one more night
Outside a club
And thank goodness
If this is the last song
And then the moon will explode
I'll be there to tell you you're wrong, you're wrong and you know it
The music doesn't make it here
I know that you don't sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep ever
How two lives keep turning
We're the only ones awake in the whole universe
Shouting out a bit of our anger on a rooftop
That no one feels this way
That no one watches movies anymore
The flowers in your room
My metallic top
We're a book on the floor in an empty house
Which looks like ours
Lost among people
So many words
Without ever an answer
And we screwed up one more night
Outside a club
And thank goodness
If this is the last song
And then the moon will explode
I'll be there to tell you you're wrong, you're wrong and you know it
The music doesn't make it here
And you don't sleep
And where will you be? Where are you going?
When life then goes too far
All the running, the fighting, the mistakes you make
When something upsets you
I know that you're not sleeping
Turn off the light even if you don't feel like it
We stay in the dark, wrapped up
Only in the sound of the voice
Beyond the madness that dances in all things
Two lives, look what a mess
If this is the last song
(And then the moon will explode)
I'll be there to tell you you're wrong, you're wrong and you know it
The music doesn't make it here
I know thаt you don't sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep ever
How two liveѕ keep turning
We're the only ones awake in the whole universe
And I still don't know your desert well
Maybe it's somewhere in my heart
Where the sun never shines
Where sometimes I lose you
But if I want I get you
We're a book on the floor in an empty house
Which looks like ours
Coffee with lemon
To fight a hangover
You look like a blurry photo
And we screwed up one more night
Outside a club
And thank goodness
If this is the last song
And then the moon will explode
I'll be there to tell you you're wrong, you're wrong and you know it

English Lyrics:
You said some words didn't hear you fall asleep
People were talking louder from my TV screen
I heard them scream it was too dark to see
Don't cry
I'll try to say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please, don't wake up
Wake up
You still think we live in a world so beautiful
You see, I think I don't believe in this stuff anymore
Don't cry
I'll try to say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please, don't wake up
Wake up
Don't cry
I'll try to say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please, don't wake up
Wake up
Please don't make me wake
Please, don't wake up
Wаke up
Lull, lull
In sweet sleep
Lull, lull
In sweet ѕleep
You said some words didn't hear you fall asleep
People were talking louder from my TV screen
I heard them scream it was too dark to see
Don't cry
I'll try to say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please, don't wake up
Wake up
You still think we live in a world so beautiful
You see, I think I don't believe in this stuff anymore
Don't cry
I'll try to say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please, don't wake up
Wake up
Don't cry
I'll try to say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please, don't wake up
Wake up
Please don't make me wake
Please, don't wake up

English Lyrics:
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
I've carried sadness with me
I hid it well since sixteen
And all the crying, all the fighting
It kept putting out the fire
That burned so bright within me
As I look back to all these years
To broken dreams disguising fear
Being someone that I'm really not
Just stay with me
My heart is bleeding
I need your healing
Wait for me
Well, it ain't easy
To love someone like me
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Finally my heart is beating
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Finally my heart is beating
I took it all on myself
I asked for nobody's help
Had to taste it and embrace it
All the bitterness of failure
To find myself within me
Just stay with me
My heart is bleeding
I need your healing
Wait for me
Well, it ain't easy
To love someone like me
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Finally my heart is beating
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Finally my heart is beating
Just stay
Just ѕtаy
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
I've carried sadness with me
I hid it well since sixteen
And all the crying, all the fighting
It kept putting out the fire
That burned so bright within me
As I look back to all these years
To broken dreams disguising fear
Being someone that I'm really not
Just stay with me
My heart is bleeding
I need your healing
Wait for me
Well, it ain't easy
To love someone like me
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Finally my heart is beating
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto
Finally my heart is beating
I took it all on myself
I asked for nobody's help
Had to taste it and embrace it
All the bitterness of failure
To find myself within me
Just stay with me
My heart is bleeding
I need your healing
Wait for me
Well, it ain't easy
To love someone like me
Čiūto tūto

English Lyrics:
Wait now, can you speak up
It's a little bit loud
I'm a little bit lost, oh
Fogged up
Might be the drinks
Or the social tease of anxiety
The tension
I'm getting
The faces I drew on
I can't focus
Should've known this
When the tik gets toking I'm gone
I feel better
In my sweater
Got my stereo
I'll play you songs you know
But hey, wait
What you say?
Do you want to dance?
Do you want to dance?
Do you want to dance?
Do you want to dance?
It's on
Yeah, we go outside
Take the very first ride
Try to save our night
If you're keen
I got some indoor shoes
I can offer you
Get you in the groove
The tension is lifting
Another moment would've been too much
This the real me
Our own Party
Our own Party
Our own Party
I feel better
In my sweater

English Lyrics:
Dense leaf forest
I think I've found my bride
(Like this, like this, like this…)
River Nistru with pristine water
I got lost, and it's only her fault
(Like this, like this, like this…)
I sang her so many songs
Until she wanted to kiss me
(Like this, like this, like this…)
I sang to her, I danced with her
I pampered her in all sorts of ways
(Like this, like this, like this…)

A ring with a precious stone

English Lyrics:
I don't find any joy anymore
From the same old cycle
Don't know what made me happy before
From all to zero
Where did I go?
Between falling and running
I've been trying to get on my feet in time
I've never been good at crying
Always wanted to be the tough type
I'm sorry I'm just human
I'm losing myself while chasing highs
I'm losing myself while chasing highs
And burning daylight
I don't believe in God anymore
'Cause where did she go?
I don't know what I've been looking for
I guess a hero
Between falling and running
I've been trying to get on my feet in time
I've never been good at crying
Always wanted to be the tough type
I'm sorry I'm just human
I'm losing myself while chasing highs
And burning daylight
I'm scared that I'm falling behind
I'm losing myself while chasing highs
I'm losing myself while chasing highѕ
And burning dаylight
Goodbye old life
Goodbye old life
Goodbye old life
Goodbye old life
Goodbye old life
Goodbye old life
I don't find any joy anymore
From the same old cycle
Don't know what made me happy before
From all to zero
Where did I go?
Between falling and running
I've been trying to get on my feet in time
I've never been good at crying
Always wanted to be the tough type
I'm sorry I'm just human
I'm losing myself while chasing highs
I'm losing myself while chasing highs
And burning daylight
I don't believe in God anymore
'Cause where did she go?
I don't know what I've been looking for
I guess a hero
Between falling and running
I've been trying to get on my feet in time
I've never been good at crying
Always wanted to be the tough type
I'm sorry I'm just human
I'm losing myself while chasing highs
And burning daylight
I'm scared that I'm falling behind
I'm losing myself while chasing highs
I'm losing myself while chasing highѕ
And burning dаylight

English Lyrics:
We will always fight, but
Love and faith kidnapped by people
Our Motto will be like this:
I came; I saw; I conquered
She, queen of the kings
Running so fast
Beating the wind
Nothing in this world could stop the spread of her wings
She, queen of the kings
Broken her cage
Threw out the keys
She will be the warrior of north and southern seas
Got raven hair as dark as night
Icy eyes outta sight, outta sight
Her heart in spite, is warm and bright
Her smile awakes the northern light
Looking out she calls
Lai-laida-dai-daida
Who will conquer all?
All
Her name is She, queen of the kings
Running so fast
Beating the wind
Nothing in this world could stop the spread of her wings
She, queen of the kings
Broken her cage
Threw out the keys
She will be the warrior of north and southern seas
A firestone forged in flames
Wildest card run the game, run the game
Can't say the same in this world of change
Don't fear the pain just break the chain
Looking out she calls
Lai-laida-dai-daida
Who will conquer all?
All
Her name is She, queen of the kings
Running so fast
Beating the wind
Nothing in this world could stop the spread of her wings
She, queen of the kings
Broken her cage
Threw out the keys

Her name is She, queen of the kings
Running so fast
Beating the wind

English Lyrics:
Oh, heart
That won't let me be
You won't give me peace
You leave me unfit
My head and throat are circling around
That won't undo itself, and yet you feel no sympathy
I feel
Dizzy
Every day worse
I don't know things that I used to know
My pulse is racing like mad
I feel crazy, totally senile
My chest is burning
My mouth is dry
What's happening to me?
What to do love, I can't do it like this
Because I don't even feel like myself
Oh, heart
Oh, heart
Tell me if you are mine?
Hours go by and I can't sleep
I hear the owls and my neighbours too
My mind is gone, and it got lost in there
Somebody please snap me out of this
The doctor says there's nothing to be done
"Lost cause", I saw him writing
I'm lost in another dimension
I am now a huge mess
My chest is burning
My mouth is dry
What's happening to me?
What to do love, I can't do it like this
Because I dont even feel like myself
Oh, heart
Oh, heart
Oh, heart
Tell me if you are mine?
My chest is burning
My mouth is dry

What to do love, I can't do it like this

English Lyrics:
D.G.T. (Off and On)
How much I write, with any skill
With any style, however smooth
She brings me into a movie, I feel like a child
I spin around like a vinyl
'Cause I want to act in her movie
How much I stay, how much I give
How much I want, how much I drink
With any top, any heel
Whatever the others talked
I still didn't care
I would've chosen her out of thousands of women
Cause I count, she hides
I call her, she doesn't answer
A boxing match with dozens of rounds
And just like a ring
She plays me on her fingers
I believe in her
But she lies so beautifully
She turns me upside-down
'Cause she talks dirty
But only when she wants
Lies so easily
Leaves the bed empty
On her fingers
I believe in her
But she lies so beautifully
She turns me upside-down
Talks dirty
But only when she wants
Lies so easily
Leaves the bed empty
Don't you now, don't you now
Now don't you just wanna sit right next to me
Favorite dress on the floor in your dreams
The scent of mistake just reminds you of me
And now all of your demons keep screaming my name
Take a little sip of venom, now
Say you love me
Say you want me now
Fool me all over again, baby
Lost in your eyes
Nights I crave the touch of you
Wondering just what you do
I'm beggin you I'm on my knees
Take your clothes off step on me
Lost in your bedsheets
Tryna get closer
With marks on my neck
And your makeup all over
Photos of us, babe
Remind me still of ya
King without a queen
What's another way to get me sober?
DGT, why are you scared, tell me quickly
You rushed through my head on all of my pillows
DGT, why can't you see that i'm thirsty for
Her poison
Off and on
Like a radio song (What?)
Messing me around (Uh)
Turning upside down (Yeah)
Dirty talking me
Every day's a game (Every day's a game)
Lets me sleep alone
She plays me like oh
I believe in her
But she lies so beautifully
She turns me upside-down
'Cause she talks dirty
But only when she wants
Lies so easily
Leaves the bed empty
On her fingers
I believe in her
But she lies so beautifully
She turns me upside-down
Talks dirty
But only when she wants
Lies so easily
Leаves the bed empty
(On her fingerѕ)
D.G.T. (Off and On)
How much I write, with any skill
With any style, however smooth
She brings me into a movie, I feel like a child
I spin around like a vinyl
'Cause I want to act in her movie
How much I stay, how much I give
How much I want, how much I drink
With any top, any heel
Whatever the others talked
I still didn't care
I would've chosen her out of thousands of women
Cause I count, she hides
I call her, she doesn't answer
A boxing match with dozens of rounds
And just like a ring
She plays me on her fingers
I believe in her
But she lies so beautifully
She turns me upside-down
'Cause she talks dirty
But only when she wants
Lies so easily
Leaves the bed empty
On her fingers
I believe in her
But she lies so beautifully
She turns me upside-down
Talks dirty
But only when she wants
Lies so easily
Leaves the bed empty
Don't you now, don't you now
Now don't you just wanna sit right next to me
Favorite dress on the floor in your dreams
The scent of mistake just reminds you of me
And now all of your demons keep screaming my name
Take a little sip of venom, now
Say you love me
Say you want me now
Fool me all over again, baby
Lost in your eyes
Nights I crave the touch of you
Wondering just what you do
I'm beggin you I'm on my knees
Take your clothes off step on me
Lost in your bedsheets
Tryna get closer

English Lyrics:
C'mon, baby, come and find me
I can smell you like an animal
Bring the party, Aphrodite, and I'll tease you on the dancefloor
You have, you have snake eyes
And I get, I get butterflies
You have, you have snake eyes
With your hips, with your sexy look, you paralyse
And I get, I get butterflies
In my ears, in my stomach all the time
Come on baby, come and find me
I can smell you like an animal
Bring the party, Aphrodite, and I'll chase you on the dance floor
Come on baby, come and find me
I can smell you like an animal
Bring the party, Aphrodite, and I'll chase you on the dance floor
You have, you have a biting tongue
And it gets, it gets me so unstrung
You have, you have a biting tongue
To tie me up and deviate my inner thoughts
And it gets highly dangerous
Like a drug in my veins, you are poison
Come on baby, come and find me
I can smell you like an animal
Bring the party, Aphrodite, and I'll chase you on the dance floor
Come on baby, come and find me
I can smell you like an animal
Bring the party, Aphrodite, and I'll chase you on the dance floor
Come on baby (I can smell you like an animal)
Come on baby (I can smell you like an animal)
The way, she knows the way
The way to turn me on
The way, she knowѕ the way
The wаy to turn me on
C'mon, baby, come and find me
I can smell you like an animal
Bring the party, Aphrodite, and I'll tease you on the dancefloor
You have, you have snake eyes
And I get, I get butterflies

With your hips, with your sexy look, you paralyse
And I get, I get butterflies
In my ears, in my stomach all the time
Come on baby, come and find me

Baby watch the world on fire
It is all a game to me
I don't wanna choose my fighter
Who's taking control of me?
Hello?
I just wanna sleep

Like it better when I dream
I want to sleep forever
While the world is on fire

English Lyrics:
We'll be dancing all night long
We'll love each other and play
As if there was no tomorrow
Ever fewer words, thin ice burning under our feet
But we're running away from the draught
You must only work for 810,000 years
To make your soul breathe a little
(Eeny, meeny, miny, moe)
You win if you stay alive
(I'll take everything)
You get nothing
(Ah ah ahh)
Do you really want it like this?
The game of hatred is your thing
Thank you, don't count on us
On us
We'll be dancing all night long
We'll love each other and play
As if there was no tomorrow
We won't count the hours until the dawn arises
We'll jump across the mountains
To be embraced by the sky
The first rain will wash away all the fake glitter
So it stops stealing the magic from the dance floors
The darkness will bring out the shine in our eyes
The game of hatred is your thing
Thank you, don't count on us
We'll be even louder
We'll be dancing all night long
We'll love each other and play
As if there was no tomorrow
We won't count the hours until the dawn arises
We'll jump across the mountains
We'll accept that we are eternal and happy
Only as long as the sky keeps embracing us
We danced, loved, and played all night
We lived as if there wаѕ
No tomorrow
We'll be dancing all night long
We'll love each other and play
As if there was no tomorrow
Ever fewer words, thin ice burning under our feet
But we're running away from the draught
You must only work for 810,000 years
To make your soul breathe a little
(Eeny, meeny, miny, moe)
You win if you stay alive
(I'll take everything)
You get nothing
(Ah ah ahh)
Do you really want it like this?
The game of hatred is your thing
Thank you, don't count on us
On us
We'll be dancing all night long
We'll love each other and play
As if there was no tomorrow
We won't count the hours until the dawn arises
We'll jump across the mountains
To be embraced by the sky
The first rain will wash away all the fake glitter
So it stops stealing the magic from the dance floors
The darkness will bring out the shine in our eyes
The game of hatred is your thing
Thank you, don't count on us
We'll be even louder
We'll be dancing all night long
We'll love each other and play
As if there was no tomorrow
We won't count the hours until the dawn arises
We'll jump across the mountains
We'll accept that we are eternal and happy
Only as long as the sky keeps embracing us
We danced, loved, and played all night
We lived as if there wаѕ

Oh, come to me, child of mine
Oh, come to me, child of mine
Sleep by my side
Because in my chest there's a shelter
A little shelter for your grief
Ya ea ea, Ya ea ea

Little tears from the Nile, sleepless nights
My child, when I die
May they bury me in the moon
So that I'll see you every night
So that I'll see you every night
So that I'll see you every night
Every night but one
Oh, come to me, child of mine

Kid of my loves
Whose eyes like a Sun
Illuminate me at night
Ya ea ea, Ya ea ea

English Lyrics:
I don't wanna go
But baby we both know
This is not our time
It's time to say goodbye
Until we meet again
'Cause this is not the end
It will come a day
When we will find our way
Violins playing and the angels crying
When the stars align then I'll be there
No I don't care about them all
'Cause all I want is to be loved
And all I care about is you
You stuck on me like a tattoo
No I don't care about the pain
I'll walk through fire and through rain
Just to get closer to you
You stuck on me like a tattoo
I'm letting my hair down
I'm taking it cool
You got my heart in your hand
Don't lose it my friend
It's all that I got
Violins playing and the angels crying
When the stars align then I'll be there
No I don't care about them all
'Cause all I want is to be loved
And all I care about is you
You stuck on me like a tattoo
No I don't care about the pain
I'll walk through fire and through rain
Just to get closer to you
You stuck on me like a tattoo
Oh I don't care about them all
'Cause all I want is to be loved
And all I care about is you
You stuck on me like a tattoo
I don't care about the pain
I'll walk through fire and through rain
Just to get closer to you
You stuck on me like a tattoo
All I care about is love
Oh oh oh
All I care about is love
You ѕtuck on me like a tаttoo
I don't wanna go
But baby we both know
This is not our time
It's time to say goodbye
Until we meet again

No I don't care about them all

English Lyrics:
When we were boys
We played pretend
Army tanks
And army men
Hide and seek
Grow to be the kings we dream
Where did we go?
We're standin' on the frontline
Where did we go?
We go?
I don't wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don't wanna have to play with real blood
We ain't playin' now
Can't turn and run
No water guns
No no
I don't wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don't wanna have to play with real blood
'Cause we ain't playin' now
Can't turn and run
No water guns
Just body bags that we've become
Adolescence, breaking rules
Nothin hurts when you're bulletproof
I remember, yes, I do, I do
Where did we go?
We're standin' on the frontline
Where did we go?
We go?
I don't wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don't wanna have to play with real blood
We ain't playin' now
Can't turn and run
No water guns
No no
I don't wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don't wanna have to play with real blood
'Cause we ain't playin' now
Can't turn and run

English Lyrics:
Sometimes gotta let it go
Sometimes gotta look away
Sometimes you just gotta know
When to stick your middle finger up in the air
I cannot explain
Tell you how I feel
Life is just a game
And I'm playing for the win
Don't be scared to say just what you think
'Cause no matter how bad, someone's listening
Don't care what you say
Don't care how you feel
Get out of my way
'Cause I got a heart of steel
Don't care what you say
Or how you feel
Oh, I got a heart of steel
You just like to act a fool
Tryna get in my head like
When I turn on my headlights
I can see right through you
Tryna get a reaction
I just hit the action move
Despite the pain
I continue my fight
The world is on fire
And you act
Don't be scared to say just what you think
'Cause no matter how bad, someone's listening
Don't care what you say
Don't care how you feel
Get out of my way
'Cause I got a heart of steel
Don't care what you say
Or how you feel
Oh, I got a heart of steel
Don't care what you say
Or how you feel
Oh, I got a heаrt of ѕteel
Sometimes gotta let it go
Sometimes gotta look away
Sometimes you just gotta know
When to stick your middle finger up in the air
I cannot explain
Tell you how I feel
Life is just a game
And I'm playing for the win
Don't be scared to say just what you think
'Cause no matter how bad, someone's listening
Don't care what you say
Don't care how you feel

English Lyrics:
When you said you were leavin'
To work on your mental health
You didn't mention the cheating
You kept that one to yourself
I got so mad was gonna
Cuss you out, outside your house
For everyone to see
Wanted to trash your Benz, tell all your friends
How cruel you were to me
Instead I wrote a song
'Bout how you did me wrong
I could have cried at home
And spent the night alone
Instead I wrote a song
I feel much better now
Me and my girls are out
And we all sing along
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da-dai…
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da-dai…
Instead I wrote a song
I kept my cool and composure
My mother would be so proud
I was ready for a sentence baby
Instead I wrote it all down
Oh I was gonna
Cuss you out, outside your house
For everyone to see
Wanted to trash your Benz, tell all your friends
How cruel you were to me
Instead I wrote a song
'Bout how you did me wrong
I could have cried at home
And spent the night alone
Instead I wrote a song
I feel much better now
Me and my girls are out
And we all sing along
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da-dai…
Instead I wrote a song

Instead I wrote a song
Let's celebrate
Dance it away
I thought my heart would break
Instead I wrote a song
'Bout how you did me wrong
I could have cried at home
And spent the night alone
Instead I wrote a song
I feel much better now
Me and my girls are out
And we all sing along
Instead I wrote а ѕong
When you said you were leavin'
To work on your mental health
You didn't mention the cheating
You kept that one to yourself
I got so mad was gonna
Cuss you out, outside your house
For everyone to see
Wanted to trash your Benz, tell all your friends
How cruel you were to me
Instead I wrote a song
'Bout how you did me wrong
I could have cried at home
And spent the night alone
Instead I wrote a song
I feel much better now
Me and my girls are out
And we all sing along
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da-dai…
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da-dai…
Instead I wrote a song
I kept my cool and composure
My mother would be so proud
I was ready for a sentence baby
Instead I wrote it all down
Oh I was gonna
Cuss you out, outside your house
For everyone to see
Wanted to trash your Benz, tell all your friends
How cruel you were to me
Instead I wrote a song
'Bout how you did me wrong
I could have cried at home
And spent the night alone
Instead I wrote a song
I feel much better now
Me and my girls are out
And we all sing along
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da-dai…
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da-dai…
Instead I wrote a song
Let's celebrate
Dance it away
I thought my heart would break
Instead I wrote a song
'Bout how you did me wrong
I could have cried at home
And spent the night alone
Instead I wrote a song
I feel much better now
Me and my girls are out
And we all sing along
Instead I wrote а ѕong

Kinda surprised nobody's posted a top 10 yet 🤔
For mine... I listened to every song twice and ended up with an undisputed #1 that no other song came close to for me. This is followed by 6 songs I really liked as well, which I had to listen to a couple times more to try and rank them.
The last 3 spots are filled up by songs I kinda like, but not nearly as much. These also required a bit of additional plays to determine their order.
1) Germany - Surprised me first time I played it. Starts off as a pretty 'normal' song. Then just goes ''nah, metal time!''. It was the first song I listened to on the first pass through the list that just made me go 'Now this is my jam!'. This type of music just always has my preference, but not only that, I like the message of the song a lot too.
2) Cyprus - did not think much of this song on my first listen. Paid more attention to the lyrics for each song second time around. Probably didn't pay attention enough on the first listen. Rose to a high spot on the second pass. I like his voice a lot. Become second after comparing it with the other 5 top picks.
3) Norway - Good song with a catchy tune that's still stuck in my head. Kept rising steadily while comparing with the other top picks. Could not trump the voice of Cyprus' singer in the end and is in 3rd for me.
4) Estonia - I liked this song straight away. Singer has a really nice voice imo. Not a big fan of the occasional 'aaaaa - aaaaa' and would've ranked it higher without those.
5) Austria - Kinda feels like a guilty pleasure to listen to tbh. Goofy clip, catchy music. I like it, but it stranded at 5th place.
6) Netherlands - Beautiful song. Lacks that bit extra or that catchiness all the songs above have for me to put it higher.
7) Switzerland - Didn't stand out all that much to me in both rounds of listening to all songs. Had it jotted down as a potential 10th if lacking any better options. Listened to it again later on after determining the above 6 to help determine the remaining 4. Liked this song a lot more with each listen. Ended up adding it to the songs I really like, but ended up below the other ones I had already determined. Nearly swapped it around with the Netherlands' song though. This is a beautiful song imo.
The remaining spots are all songs I kinda like, but just don't compare to any of the above for me.
8) Poland - I like the song more than the two below it. It's more catchy than the other two as well.
9) Ukraine - Nice song. Better than the one below imo.
10) Ireland - Honestly a bit of a 'Idk what to put here, but I still have a slot left open' situation. I liked this song enough to put this here over others I had marked down.

First of all, I apologise to all of you for taking so long to offer you your country badges, I fell very ill in Liverpool, and everything descended into chaos.
This year's quiz event will now form our after-party and will be uploaded in the days following the contest!
Also, anyone that hasn't had a chance to share your top ten yet... there is still time! Because of my issues, I will not be closing submissions for several days 😊
Thank you so much for posting your top ten!!! I always love hearing people's thoughts and feelings about the different songs!
You will be waving the flag for Estonia this year! Your optional signature code is below:
Thank you for taking part! Great to see some love for France, but also that is another really strong showing for Germany... could they be this year's Austria and take the crown?
You will be waving the flag for... Georgia! You can find your optional code below:
Thank you for your top ten! Your favourite could very well end up winning the whole thing this year! Stockholm 2024?
Sweden has also been selected as your country to show love and support to! I'm not sure someone has rolled their favourite country before!

Sweden won, Loreen deserved it! I'm honestly surprised that Käärijä was second, Cha cha cha is overrated. It's really not that good song, the lyrics suck and there's even plagiarism, I wonder how this didn't caused a scandal: https://www.tiktok.com/@heikkiranta/video/7203824889550130438

I will say that I was definitely Team Finland this year, with Croatia close behind. What was crazy to see was that when it came to the telephone votes, I don't think Sweden got a single 12, whereas Finland had over 50% of the countries giving them a 12, kinda crazy!
Just to let you know about the afterparty stuff, we should have that up soon for you all!

Better get my own votes in!
Remember tonight is the deadline for anyone that still wants to vote, I'll leave the vote open an extra hour or so while I tally up!
Just missing out on my top 10 were:
15. Diljá - Power (Iceland)
A really powerful song about moving on.
14. Victor Vernicos - What They Say (Greece)
He is just 16 and wrote this when he was 14... I feel so old!
13. Brunette - Future Lover (Armenia)
“I decide to be good, do good, look good” and how right she is. She is beautiful, can sing live, is a great rapper. Oh and she can dance too!
12. Sudden Lights - Aijā (Latvia)
A sleeper of a song with a very unusual mix of tempos that never fails to make me turn up the volume.
11. Luke Black - Samo Mi Se Spava (Serbia)
This song was actually as high as fourth in my ranking at times during the season. Sorry Luke, you were just pipped for the last point in the end but I still love you!
Now time for the top 10!!!
10. Marco Mengoni - Due Vite (Italy)
A beautiful song and a stunning performance but it dropped down my ranking a little after the revamp :(
9. La Zarra - Évidemment (France)
La Zarra adds some disco to France's ESC catalogue and it's awesome!
8. The Busker - Dance (Our Own Party) (Malta)
I love everything about this: the performers, the staging, the clever lyrics, and the infectious sax solo. I feel better in my sweater listening to this.
7. Joker Out - Carpe Diem (Slovenia)
Joker out describe their sound as shagadelic rock and roll. I can't disagree with that, just listen and you'll hear it!
6. Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha (Finland)
Some people think this sounds like Electric Callboy. I say grab a virgin pina colada and just let loose to this fantastic party song.
5. Voyager - Promise (Australia)
You can't take a full prog rock journey in 3 minutes, it just can't be done. Voyager: "hold my pina colada"
4. Pasha Parfeni - Soarele şi Luna (Moldova)
Moldova is a country that never seems to disappoint with their ESC entries. This year we had Pasha Parfeni returning to enchant us with a magical song about love, and love it I do.
3. Teya & Salena - Who The Hell Is Edgar? (Austria)
A song highlighting the sad realities of the music industry, with a chorus channeling the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe, all set to a fast eclectic beat really shouldn't work... but it just does! I can listen to this incredible song on repeat all day and not get bored!
2. Monika Linkytė - Stay (Lithuania)
This song doesn't belong at number 2 in all honesty, it's actually my joint winner and I can't split them - believe me I have tried and tried and tried - but I had to pick a Douze Points so I pretty much flipped a coin.
Going into the national final Stay wasn't my winner but Monika's final performance absolutely blew me away and I so delighted she won! Stay is just such a beautiful song and the lyrics really resonate with me personally. Monika sings with so much passion and I can feel every single word. One of two songs that helped get me through some really dark times this year and my biggest regret of ESC 2023 is falling ill the day I was supposed to meet Monika. I really, really, wanted to say thank you <3
1. Wild Youth - We Are One (Ireland)
We Are One is so special to me that I really can't even begin to explain. I've been having a very difficult time lately and this song is a major reason I'm still here to write this post. In a dark world filled with hatred and negativity, We Are One shines through, bringing all the love, peace, and unity that Eurovision was created for in the first place. I'll always cherish meeting the guys from Wild Youth, and I'll never forget seeing this live on stage, throwing my index finger in the air, and chanting with my whole ESC family... Tonight, We Are One <3
