Malta MALTA 2018 - Christabelle - Taboo

[escYOUnited]

LYRICS (Click Spoiler)

In the silence, you'll find gold
Where you feel warmth, I feel so cold
Can't get no sleep, I'm up till dawn
These demons have broken my goal

And I know, and I know, and I know
That you see my life, in foreign eyes
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you hear my cry, tears tell no lie

Let our guards down, it's time to break the taboo
Before we all become animals, animals
Echoes in my head gotta break the taboo
No, we will never be criminals, criminals

Sticks and stones won't break my soul
Gotta be your own miracle, miracle
It's in my bones, gotta break the taboo
Before we all become animals, animals

I know that I am not alone
Let all our thoughts and ghosts unfold
In the darkness I've found home
But what is next is still unknown

And I know, and I know, and I know
That you hear my cry, tears tell no lie

Let our guards down, it's time to break the taboo
Before we all become animals, animals
Echoes in my head gotta break the taboo
No, we will never be criminals, criminals

Sticks and stones won't break my soul
Gotta be your own miracle, miracle
It's in my bones, gotta break the taboo
Before we all become animals, animals

Break the taboo
Break the taboo
Break the taboo

Let our guards down, it's time to break the taboo
Before we all become animals, animals
Echoes in my head gotta break the taboo
No, we will never be criminals, criminals

Sticks and stones won't break my soul
Gotta be your own miracle, miracle
It's in my bones, gotta break the taboo
Before we all become animals, animals

Re: MALTA 2018

Jesus Christ, what happened to Jessika? Shivering with antici......pation for a new Jessika hit used to be one of my personal highlights of early Eurovision season, but this is now a second year without. :? Not really a ton of names I recognize in general, actually. Brooke, Christabelle, Deborah C, Jasmine, Lawrence Gray, and...that's about it. Looking forward to another hot year of Maltese songs. I also love how there's some guy just called Dan; what a stage name

EDIT: Oh wait Richard Micallef is Richard from Firelight! I didn't like his song last year but enjoy "Coming Home;" he could go either way

Yeah, and this time he will sing with his dad. Off course, if they get elected for the final.

And the title is "Song for dad". I smell cheese already and we're only in September

One shouts all the time, the other is quite reserved.

Re: MALTA 2018

No Janice Mangion, nothing in Maltese after Kewkba's success last year, I'm very disappointed.

I'm assuming that is Daniel Testa... He is often referred to as Dan... I could be wrong

She was my winner in 2017

Thanks for the tip, but now that I have it...

Re: MALTA 2018

Kewka was such a missed opportunity I admit when I was looking through the list I went directly to the J's to see if Janice was there

 

[lavieenrose]

Re: MALTA 2018

Janice, Jessika, Jo Zette, all these iconic Js Malta gives us, not to mention Jiara, Jaudette Jace, Jamber, Jebbie Scerri, et al.

Re: MALTA 2018

I imagine Malta will select a generic pop song as usual. Malta have really lost track of what it takes to be successful at Eurovision.

Re: MALTA 2018

Kelsey Bellante - Super Woman

Had my eye on Kelsey for a few years,shame she never made it to the last 16,song must of been pants.The writers here seem better than the artists so it will be interesting to see if they are simply sending 2nd rate songs,or not.

Re: MALTA 2018

I get very nervous when I see the name GERARD JAMES BORG in the songwriter list - he is quite possibly the worst lyricist in the world.. I am happy I haven't seen his name so for

Re: MALTA 2018

More Christabelle

Hopefully this will be her year? Assuming she's got a decent song again, of course.
