Katarsis:

The band Katarsis consists of vocalist and guitarist Lukas Radzevičius, guitarist Andrius Gruodis, bassist Emilija Kandratavičiūtė, and drummer Eivin Laukhammer (Eivin Laukhammer). Katarsis is an alternative and dark post-punk band from Lithuania.

Each song they create tells a separate background story while incorporating a roaring climax and a cathartic sense of relief along with hypnotic melodies. They released their first song in 2020, with their biggest hit “Vasarą galvoj minoras” accumulating over 3.5 million plays released that same year.

“Tavo Akys”:

The song uses dramatic metaphors to depict the devastating effects of empty and false words in interpersonal relationships. Imagery is used as a symbol for the emotional and physical destruction caused by aggression and lies in relationships. The description of the collapsing house reflects the ongoing disintegration of mental stability and trust in one another, highlighting the turbulent emotions that accompany the internal battle.

In the second part of the song, the dialogue between the narrator’s “range of vision” and the pain they see in the other’s eyes indicates a dynamic of empathy and deep understanding, but also the inability to alleviate the pain in practice. The song paints a picture of helplessness and coping with the burden of foreign pain. The repetition expresses a willingness to stand by the other in moments of weakness and uncertainty, while maintaining a deep emotional connection even in times of crisis.

The song was written solely by the lead vocalist Lukas Radzevičius. This is the songwriter’s first entry in the Eurovision competition. The song is performed in Lithuanian.

Lyrics of “Tavo Akys”:

Tuščios kalbos tik didina ugnį
Dega namai
Jie pradeda griūti
Iš akių ji didžiausią liūtį
Visko pamatai
Jau pradėjo pūti

Tik saugot

Tavo akys mato skausmą
Mano akims tik duoda jausmą
Tavo akys mato skausmą
Mano akims tik duoda jausmą
Tavo akys mato skausmą
Mano akims tik duoda jausmą
Tavo akys mato skausmą
Mano akims tik duoda jausmą

Tu nebijok
Tavo sapnuose verkiu
Tik tavo sapnuose verkiu
Tu nebijok
Tavo sapnuose verkiu
Tik tavo sapnuoѕe verkiu

Tavo, tavo, tаvo…
