Orphan
Fish

[Verse 1]You watched your mother disappear before you Learned the shape of what was coming Carried the knowing for years like a shadow Like weather you could see but not outrun [Chorus]You used to move through the world in color Vivid, sharp, entirely your own Now the edges soften without asking And the brightest parts of you have gone From gold to grey, from sparkling to dull From a voice that led to one that follows You are becoming a version Of a woman you no longer remember [Verse 2]It crept in gently, almost politely And you covered it well with crisp sentences A sharp remark, a room full of laughter No one could see what was already thinning at the edges [Verse 3]You joked about it, which took courage Said your head was a room with nothing left in it Quietly closed the door on evenings out One book was enough — you only needed one to forget [Verse 4]Losing sense of context, place and time. Where are the children and where is your bag? Mistaking the hospital for a restaurant And your own home became a place you'd never been [Chorus]You used to move through the world in color Vivid, sharp, entirely your own Now the edges soften without asking And the brightest parts of you have gone From gold to grey, from sparkling to dull From a voice that led to one that follows You are becoming a version Of a woman you no longer remember [Outro]There is no sudden ending Just the gradual loosening of your name The world still moves around you unchanged But you have stopped looking all the same Somewhere in the grey you let go Of a woman you no longer remember

[Verse 1]Leader in the tower, got his eye on the polls Trading lives for votes, man he's selling his soul Calls it "self-defense" but the maps tell the truth Every border pushed further, every home turned to ruins Bombs drop at dawn while he's counting his odds Wraps himself in scripture, acts like he's playing God The cameras get the speech, the back rooms get the deal "Security concerns" — that's how they make the steal [Chorus 1 — Eurovision]Sparkle and shimmer, we're live on the stage Turn up the volume, drown out the rage Three minutes of magic, a smile and a key change While the smoke clears back home, rearranging the chains La la la, harmony, wave to the crowd The song must go on, sing it proud, sing it loud Sequins and spotlights, the world holds its breath But the curtain won't cover the villages left We came here to sing, not to talk about that Put the flags in the air, put the cameras on track Eurovision, baby — music heals every scar Just don't zoom out too far [Verse 2]Antisemitism thrown like a shield, not a sword Weaponize the wound so the truth gets ignored Call every critic a threat to the state That's how you launder a land grab — just legislate hate Settlements spreading like ink on a map "Historical right" is his favorite trap Regional wars to keep the tension alive The president needs chaos just to help him survive [Chorus 2 — Eurovision, with escalation]Sparkle and shimmer, we're live on the stage Turn up the volume, drown out the rage Three minutes of magic, a smile and a key change While the smoke clears back home, rearranging the chains La la la, harmony, wave to the crowd The song must go on, sing it proud, sing it loud Sequins and spotlights, the world holds its breath But the curtain won't cover the villages left We came here to sing, not to talk about that Put the flags in the air, put the cameras on track Eurovision, baby — music heals every scar Just don't zoom out too far [Bridge]History's watching, the archives don't lie You can't bomb a future and ask freedom why The occupation's old but the graves are still new Accountability's coming — it's long overdue And while the judges score us on passion and tone A mother is counting the rubble back home Ten points from the jury — the diplomats cheer The satellites broadcast what no one will hear [Final Chorus — stripped back, then building]Sparkle and shimmer — but nothing is clean The prettiest stage that the world's ever seen Three minutes of magic to charm away the harm Eurovision, baby — all glitter, no balm La la la, harmony, wave to the crowd The song must go on — does it have to go on? Sequins and spotlights, the world holds its breath The curtain comes down — but not on the death We came here to sing, not to talk about that But silence is also a flag on the map Eurovision, baby — music heals every scar Just don't zoom out too far Just don't zoom out Too far
