Congratulations
Silvia Night Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Okay

Hey you, lookin' at me, I'm talkin' to you
I'm Silvia Night shinin' in the light, I know you want me too
Born in Reykjavík in a different league, no damn Eurotrash-freak
The vote is in, I'll fucking win
Too bad for all the others
So congratulations, I have arrived
I'm Silvia Night and I'm shining so bright
Eurovision nation, your dream's coming true
You've been waiting and waiting for me to save you
Wham bam boom

My song – totally cool, no yesterday's news
It is hot okay, really not too gay
I'm coming here to stay
Want a piece of me, listen carefully
You'll be D.E.A.D
So boys and girls around the world
Let's meet next year in Iceland

So congratulations, I have arrived
I'm Silvia Night and I'm shining so bright
Eurovision nation, your dream's coming true
You've been waiting forever for me to save you

(So congratulations, so congratulations) Oh...
(So congratulations, so congratulations)
(So congratulations, so congratulations)
(So congratulations, so congratulations) Whoa... oh...
(Ring, ring, ring) Hello, is it God?
(Ring, ring, ring) What's up, dog?
It's your favourite person in the world
(Ring, ring, ring) Silvia Night
(Ring, ring, ring) I'm saving the end of the world
See you, bye

So congratulations, I have arrived
I'm Silvia Night and I'm shining so bright
Eurovision nation, your dream's coming true
You've been waiting forever for me to save you
So congratulations, I have arrived
I'm Silvia Night and I'm shining so bright
Eurovision nation, your dream's coming true




Just vote for your hero, that's what you must do
I love you

Overall Meaning

The song "Congratulations" by Silvia Night is a self-congratulatory anthem that asserts the performer's superiority and importance over others. The lyrics begin with a declaration from the artist herself, claiming that she is a cut above the rest and that she knows the listener wants her. Born in Reykjavik, Silvia Night sees herself as being in a "different league" from the "Eurotrash-freaks" that she ostensibly competes against. The song is written in the context of a Eurovision performance, and the lyrics confidently state that Silvia Night will win the competition – "the vote is in, I'll fucking win, too bad for all the others."


Despite its braggadocious tone, the song is essentially tongue-in-cheek, with Silvia Night poking fun at herself and the whole Eurovision scene. She is presented as a larger-than-life character who is not to be taken seriously. The lyrics mock the typical Eurovision song, describing Silvia Night's "totally cool" song as "hot okay", and insisting that it is "really not too gay". The chorus repeats the phrase "so congratulations", with Silvia Night congratulating herself for her success and the listener for finally getting to hear her perform.


Overall, the song is an amusing take on the typical Eurovision entry, with Silvia Night playing a character who is equal parts egotistical, flamboyant, and hilarious.
