Surprise
lilly among clouds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me another secret
I am bored of my own
They tell me I need to keep it
But they are wrong
Give me another glass of wine
I need to forget
Haven't been so honest
All the time

But all I see, the best of me
Is there yet to come
I am reaching out infinity (I, I, I)
But all I see, the best of me
Is there yet to come
I am reaching out infinity (I, I, I)

'Cause you haven't seen the best of me
You will be surprised
You haven't seen the rest of me
You will be surprised
(Surprise for you, for you)
You will be surprised
For you for you
'Cause you haven't seen the best of me
You will be surprised
You haven't seen the rest of me
You will be surprised
(Surprise for you, for you)

But all I see, the best of me




Is there yet to come
I am reaching out infinity (I, I, I)

Overall Meaning

She acknowledges that people may tell her she needs to keep her secrets, but she believes that they are wrong. The singer then asks for another glass of wine to forget about her concerns and admits that she hasn't been completely honest all the time.


However, the main message of the song is that the best of her is yet to come.

The repeated phrase, "you will be surprised," emphasizes this idea that there is more to her than meets the eye.


Overall, "Surprise" is a message of hope, promising that there is always more to discover in oneself and others. The lyrics capture the universal feeling of wanting to be understood and appreciated for who we truly are.

Germany made a wrong decision not sending her... This song is clearly a masterpiece! My only hope is that she'll be back. So please Lilly don't give up ♡ you won plenty of new fans last night!

@timnic9242

There are many male performer at eurovision this year, it needs something delicate from female performer like her. And i have to agree with you, her song is just masterpiece. Hope germany will choose her internally next year with three songs which are composed by herself .😆😆
