The white in this song is related to the idea of being reborn, purified by the inner fire that helped overcome fears, doubts, and anguishes that terrorized and held back the individual (which is what the dancers represent, expressing more of what is said than the music itself). It is this flame that burns within us, this desire, that can lead us from darkness to light, overcoming the pain that life sometimes brings. At its core, this is a song that plays with inner transformation and the hope for new days. That’s why the ghosts waver, following the final crescendo, and vanish with the scream. Life then continues in harmony, and iolanda’s face appears illuminated, in contrast to the beginning. The inner conflicts are thus represented not only by the dancers but also by the alternation between darkness and light (white and black), yet from the beginning, the light is destined to prevail.

This is not just a song. It is a statement. Every detail means something. Even the brightness at the end, when she goes for the high note. Read the coments, i'm sure my portuguese mates already tried to explain it!

iolanda tells us about her journey in search of her light, dealing with her fears. her emotions, her demons... A story of overcoming and acceptance. Perhaps now the concept will be shed light on for you. Grito means Scream

Pure Class.

Thank you for your lovely comment The song is about mental struggles and fighting to overcome them on you own - Self empowerment. I get that is not for everyone and it might be thought to get the attention on the televote. She is on the 2nd half of the 1st semi final what is a difficult one. But if she gets to the Final I believe that she will get the love and attention of the juries. Explaining the choreography, the dancers are/represent the struggles and her demons, hence they have their faces covered, and at the end she makes them disappear with her scream overcoming the struggle. Grito = scream . The white is to represent the flames, the pure white light the that emanates from the soft candle flames and her rebirth after conquering and overcoming all that upset her. Love from a Portugal

The 'problem' with this song is that there are several layers to it. Too many things to focus on. Some people initially focus on the choreography and zone out from the song, others focus on the stage and zone out from the melody, etc, etc. Every time I watch this masterpiece, I discover something new. A timeless journey that all quality art provides. But at the same time, I do understand that we live in a fast food thought society (aka shallow), which is why I don't see it doing very well at EV. To each, it's its own. Light will always overcome Death. No pun intended :)

The bright is because the scream is liberator. You like more or less, but for me you did not understand the song. The dancers represent her’s demons and they disappear after the scream ( grito)

You have no clue mate 😂😂😂😂😂😂
