Bulgaria BULGARIA 2021 - VICTORIA - Growing Up Is Getting Old

[escYOUnited]

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​

Bulgaria never fails to disappoint

This is the only song that gives me winner vibes honestly. #Varna2022

the staging screams winner to me tbh. i've yet to see the staging from France and Barbara though, so it may be 2 songs in contention for the win instead of one

 

[Chorizo]

I'm listening to the songs of the second semi-final in running order and it seems Eurovision has run out of up-tempo songs halfway through the show. I'm getting bored with this now. 6 points.

Best of luck tonight, Viki

To be honest, I actually felt her emotions. Her pain, her vulnerability, it made me sad. She was not even able to perform normally. I just want her to be in the final, she deserves it! I’m so proud of you, girl!
PS Those tears at the end broke my heart.

 

[A-lister]

Sorry not feeling this one

Might have been saved by the juries even...

 

[John1]

Bulgaria is winning and you aren't changing my mind x

 

[tararaaam]

That translated really well on TV. Best staging of the night.

 

[Brandt]

Was it just my imagination, or did she really sing "Getting up is growing old" in the last verse?

 

[Nicfedy]

She can do better. she swallowed a few words.

 

[Sammy]

This is a massive grower for me, especially after tonight.

I heard it too

Did she mix up her lyrics or am I mishearing something?

 

[VikingTiger]

Beautiful staging, Victoria is gorgeous. Maybe not her best vocal performance.
....but my problem remains the song. I definitely didnt hear a winner tonight. Even though the staging will be memorable for most people, the song won''t. My guess is that GUIGO will not be a televoter top 5. And not sure it will reach top 5 in the juries either.

you're even more right to stan the queen of sweden, namely clara

 

[MooseShoes]

Sorry for doubting you, Victoria, but I had you down as my shock NQ. Sandwiched between a break and Finland was not an easy place to start from.

 

[Daybreak]

Well, Estonia has subtitles which are obviously translated before the show, and they had the lyric change as well, so it was apparently intentional.

She was very nervous/emotional, last words she was singing while she was crying. Hopefully she will somehow calm down for the final.
