Song
Alice
In an interview, Veronika said that the song is about violence against women, and that its title character never gets a chance to say anything: the story is told entirely from someone else’s perspective.
For Bulgaria, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, the staging and choreography are directed by Fredrik Rydman, who previously directed Sweden in 2015 (“Heroes”, 1st place), Finland in 2023 (“Cha Cha Cha”, 2nd place), and Switzerland in 2024 (“The Code”, 1st place).
Alice
| Alice | |
| Your pretty green eyes are magic | |
| My precious prize, I've studied your ways | |
| The way you behave | |
| Can I spill my secrets to you? | |
| Alice | |
| Let me inside, I promise | |
| I'll be polite, no, I won't make mess | |
| Why you looking so stressed? | |
| Just let me talk to you | |
| I’ve been watching you | |
| I know you really, really love me, don't lie | |
| Know you gotta, gotta give it some time | |
| So honey, don't cry | |
| Honey, don't cry | |
| Alice | |
| Don't you be scared, be honest | |
| I live in your head, oh, I'm lonely too | |
| This world's been so cruel | |
| I've been here waiting for you | |
| Alice | |
| Stop knocking on that door, don't panic | |
| Lay low on the floor, you're safe in my arms | |
| No, I'd never harm a hair on your head because | |
| I'm in love with you | |
| I know you really, really love me, don't lie | |
| Only gotta, gotta give it some time | |
| So honey, don't cry | |
| Honey, don't cry | |
| 'Cause I know you really, really love me inside | |
| Only gotta, gotta give it some time | |
| So honey, don't cry | |
| Honey, don't cry | |
| Alice | |
| The light in my life has vanished | |
| Please open your eyes, why are you turning cold | |
| From feather to stone? Baby, don't leave me alone | |
