    The song is about people escaping into digital media such as computer games in order to avoid all problems in actual reality ... and about a desperate need to collectively wake up and get unplugged from digital media that keeps us asleep whilst the actual real world is burning!

      I also think he’s saying he’d rather sleep than deal with today’s world, but then he’s fighting that feeling so he can keep going. The plugs in the performance also reminds me of the matrix movie, how the plugs can connect or disconnect you from this world or it’s simulation.

    Ohoohoooo I've been waiting for this one!!! :) I've started typing this before even listening to your reaction. I'm so curious about this. It's my favourite song this year.
    YES! This is ART! Exactly. His theatrical performance, those vocals, the underlying message, all just wow! So, the song is essentially written during pandemic (mostly) and shutting out all the bad news in the world around you and just wanting to sleep through it all.
    You NEED to watch what he does with the 'Hello? Game over *******' at the Madrid pre-party. If he is allowed do that at Eurovision he will forever be a Eurovision icon. I was so lucky to see it in Madrid live when he did that. Also, he's the sweetest guy! Luke for the win (it won't happen, but I just want to dream)

      @@TheMuserResolute you’re welcome. That’s why the dark and mysterious atmosphere of the composition fits the narrative perfectly. By not paying attention to the lyrical contents, one misses the roundedness of this masterpiece, or rather gets but the entrancing and alluring musical side of it, which is not bad per se, but juxtaposing the music and the topic he sings about means full immersion experience. I’d be chuffed to see you react to it, but this time layering the music with lyrics. I’m sure you’d love it even more. Not to mention the obvious gaming references and connotations.
      To be honest, Luke Black’s Samo mi se spava is something really unique this year, and in my opinion, worthy of the win!

    I LOOOOOOOOOOVE this one. Depending how it goes live, my second place is between Serbia and Austria. I love the industrialness (I made that up) to it. It makes me think of a lot of artists I listen to like Nine Inch Nails or Celldweller or Rabbit Junk or Orgy. It has a really nice "futuristic" sound and feel to it. It's heavy without having guitars or growling 😂 If you combine Luke Black and Voyager you might come out with something like Scandroid with that 80s synth vibe but sometime off in the future in a sci-fi/gamer reality. I might be going to far in that thought. I just think it's fabulous.

    Each end every year I give my word I'm never watching Eurosong contest again, and I still go against my own words... Every year you can simply say who gets exactly how many points and from whom, and the transparency of the political and neighborly "influence" has become something that simply puts the art of many great songs from many countries (Italy, Cyprys, Israel - just to say I'm not talking about only my own country) under a pile of rocks, that many people simply lose interest ine ever participating in similar contests... These are not just my word, these are the words of so many people from different countries who kept calling me for hours on end, asking "OK, what ... why?" Italy was great, Cyprys was great, Israel was great, Albania was great... No politics needed... This is just plain ridiculous.
