Eurovision thrives on drama, metaphor, and poetic lyrics but what if we took them WAY too seriously? In this series, we’re hilariously misinterpreting iconic Eurovision hits, twisting their messages into completely misguided scenarios. 

Loreen’s Euphoria sounds poetic, ethereal, and deeply emotional, but when you really think about it, this is just a fever dream induced by airport chaos. Every dramatic declaration? It’s just someone spiraling after realising they’ve completely misread their boarding pass.

Breaking It Down

“Why, why can’t this moment last forevermore?” Because you misread your departure date. You were so convinced your flight was today that you strutted into the airport with confidence….only for the check-in desk to hit you with a soul-crushing “Sir, your flight is tomorrow.” Your emotions? Unraveling.

“Tonight, tonight eternity’s an open door.” Nothing feels more like eternity than spending 12 hours in an airport overnight because you refuse to book a hotel. You are sitting next to a vending machine, reflecting on your life choices, while a distant announcement reminds you that the duty-free perfume section is now closed.

“Don’t go, in every breath I take, I’m breathing you.” A heartfelt sentiment? Nope. This is what you tell your one trusted airport staff member who has been helping you through every crisis. You clung to their wisdom when your boarding pass disappeared into the void, and now, as they clock out, you panic. They can’t leave you here. You are not ready.

“Forever, ’til the end of time.” That is literally how long the layover feels. You stare at the flight screen every five minutes, convinced your gate number will suddenly change and ruin everything. Time is an illusion. Your only distraction? A three-hour loop of generic background jazz playing over the airport speakers.

“We’re going u-u-u-u-u-u-up!” You did it. You sprinted to the right gate, made it onto the plane just in time—and now? Your suitcase is locked in an overhead compartment you can’t reach. Congratulations, your crisis isn’t over.

“We are here, we’re all alone in our own universe.” A classic feeling when your seat neighbor refuses to acknowledge your existence despite sharing armrest territory. You are surrounded by people, yet truly alone in the silent war over reclining angles.

“Forever, we sail into infinity.” Realistically, you’re not sailing anywhere—you’re just trapped in your middle seat for an eight-hour flight with no escape. The person next to you just fell asleep on your shoulder. Welcome to infinity.

“We’re higher, we’re reaching for divinity!” No enlightenment here—just desperation as you stretch for your suitcase, clinging to the hope that it won’t knock out the person in the aisle seat when it finally drops.

This isn’t a song about romance or emotional bliss. It’s the frantic internal monologue of someone suffering a complete existential crisis in an airport.
