Many of us have been curious to what they will bring to Turin. But finally we know as Circus Mircus have released their entry “Lock Me In” which will represent Georgia at Eurovision 2022.
The release was made on the Circus Mircus’s YouTube channel. The band have chosen not to release a filmed video for their song, in solidarity with Georgia’s historical allies Ukraine during Russia’s invasion. On the screen of the video is text that reads “Video unavailable” and “This artist condemns russia’s invasion of Ukraine”.
'Lock Me In' lyrics
Show me what you got
On the counter
From the ground up now
Here we come and we all know
Mama said not to show what you are
Step it up now
Get it done now
I hate what you got
Shoot it to the stars
To the top now
Across the moon and down
We are here ’til we blow up
Tryin’ hard will not get you really far
Mix it up now
It’s alright, pal (Circus Mircus)
Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Take me to the space craft, takе me to dance club
Take mе to the space craft, take me to dance club
Now, right now, right now, right now
Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Now, right now, right now, right now
Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Lock me up, lock me down
Lock me in, lock me out
Lock me sideways
Lock me up, lock me down
Lock me in, lock me out
Lock me sideways
(Circus Mircus)
Make it ’til that they [?] never could take it
Make it ’til that they [?] never could take it
Make it ’til that they [?] never could take it
Make it ’til that they [?] never could take it
Now, right now, right now, right now
Make it ’til that they [?] never could take it
Lock me up, lock me down
Lock me in, lock me out
Lock me sideways
Lock me up, lock me down
Lock me in, lock me out
Lock me sideways
Lock me up (Up), lock me down (Down)
Lock me in (In), lock me out (Out)
Lock me sideways
Lock me up (Up), lock me down (Down)
Lock me in (In), lock me out (Out)
Lock me sideways
(Circus Mircus)
Georgia at Eurovision
Georgia debuted for the contest in 2007, with Sopho and her song “Visionary Dream” which finished 12th in the final. Infamously, in 2009 Georgia had to withdraw from the contest after its entry “We Don’t Wanna Put In” by Stephane and 3G was deemed “potical” by the EBU as the contest was taking place in Moscow.
Over the course of their Eurovision tenure, Georgia has managed to qualify for the final 7/13 times. Their best result came in 2010 when Sofie Nizharadze and her song “Shine” got 9th place. Despite this qualification rate, Georgia have failed to qualify for the final in their last 4 attempts.
What do you think of Georgia’s entry? Do you think they will break their non-qualification streak at Eurovision? Let us know in the comments below!
