LYRICS | ТЕКСТ:

playing tetris with my feelings
trynna keep them all inside
hollow shadows and my soul is spilling over, I'm out of time

closing every door
wanna be alone
lonely is a way that I survive
sick of wanting more
sitting on the floor
wondering where all my feelings go

nervous system's aching
growing up is getting old
anxiety is draining
getting up is growing old

don't get it, there's an ocean of emotion that I'm carrying inside
I am cautious,
cause I've never understood how so much can fit in little me

star crossed soul
and I'm used to letting go
sink deeper in the flow of it
my demons know exactly where my fears
are hiding all my tears

I'm torn by nervous system's aching
growing up is getting old
anxiety is draining
getting up is growing old

and if I ever take that second to leave my worries behind
maybe I could tread the waters of time,
get out of my mind

growing up is getting old
getting up is growing old

if your world is breaking
and growing up is getting old
know that you're worth saving
and getting up is all you've got.

Best song this Eurovision year so far (together with dotter). This is a MASTERPIECE.

Legends says that...

When Eurovision was cancelled, Queen Victoria got so sad that she started to shed tears in an "ugly cry".

Some time later, she invented an "imaginary friend" to relieve her pain and she realised that she had to recover from that sadness to be happy again.

With fear but bravery, she managed to "dive into unkown" and fought against all her nightmares and "phantom pains".

Then, while singing a "funeral song", she buried all the bad things that still remained from the past.

And finally she felt cured, strong and free again. She learnt something important: "growing up is getting old" by overcoming obstacles, enjoying life and keeping dreams alive.

Now, a new dream has emerged from the mind of Queen Victoria... and the city of Rotterdam is open up to make that dream come true :)

The deep, powerful lyrics.
The sweeping chorus.
The heartbreaking delivery.
This song has everything it takes to be the winner of ESC 2021.

[nilslog]

I am in tears... didn't expect the song to hit so hard, now I'm torn between imaginary friend or growing up is getting old as my favorite

[ruslanmavrodinov]

5 masterpieces, each for a different reason. How do we pick just ONE?

imaginary friend 🟣- best melodies
growing up is getting old 🟢- best message
ugly cry 🟠- most mainstream
phantom pain ⚪- catchiest/most upbeat
dive into unknown 🔵 - potential for best staging
the funeral song ⚫- biggest surprise/subverting expectations
