Russia: Scream’s lyrics revealed. Which is the video clip’s script?

Only a few hours before the official announcement of the Russian entry for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest, Scream, the director of the video clip, Konstantin Cherepkov, gave a statement for the script of the video.

The story of the video clip was inspired by the fears we all carry from childhood, and which as we grow up become “screams”. The young boy, symbolises our hero Sergey, while the island symbolises the end point of a journey we should all take in order to overcome our fears. The strong melody, the powerful lyrics and the amazing performance of Sergey inspired me to create this unique dark video clip with a strong message to everyone.

Scream’s lyrics

The lyrics of the song also revealed:

No I can’t stay here longer

You cannot make me cry

So, I will leave you to wonder

What will become of our lives

I’ll swallow hard

Fall apart

Break and bleed but

You won’t see

Tears won’t fall

While pride stands tall

Maybe they can’t be heard or seen

But tears aren’t quiet things

They scream

They scream

Though my throat is on fire

My eyes will be liars

And they’ll try to stay drier

Until you turn away

I’ll swallow hard

Fall apart

Break and bleed but

You won’t see

Tears will fall

I hear them all

They scream

They scream

Not so silent and innocent

Acid rain from your finger prints

Echoes rivers of loneliness

Hitting the walls of my heart

Mary Sharon Vaughn is the lyricist of the song, while the composer is Dimitris Kontopoulos. Scream will be revealed at 17.00 CET.
