The contest was very exciting from start to finish. At least when it comes to the positions 2-9. Of the winner, there was no question. Timoteus introspected himself to a convincing victory ahead of UFOPOLI's love story. akuankka13 benefited from the tiebreak rules to snatch the remaining medal from the debutant Burak Bsr.

Purplish introspection (by Timoteus)

All chastisement
I've received has made my world atonal, mm...
Swirls of voices
Knocking bookshelves and my humor over

I'm unloaded
Hollow heart has vacant chambers only
Vitiated
Imperfection in my chest and tonsils, toenails, tonsils, toenails

When Santa used to bring me handmade knitwear, mum just shrugged and whispered
A repudiation (no-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I smelled a lie when I was six and grandpa's omniabsence was my
Confirmation

Uninspiring
Commonplace indictments are repeating, yeah
Sixty hearings
Yet the court can't find out who's a swindler, scoundler, schemer

Ecce homo
ASCII art depicting social misfits, loonies, failures
Verge of madness
Insubordination makes me heinous, famous, brainless chaos

When Santa used to bring me handmade knitwear, mum just shrugged and whispered
A repudiation (no-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I smelled a lie when I was six and grandpa's omniabsence was my
Confirmation

When Santa used to bring me handmade knitwear, mum just shrugged and whispered
A repudiation (no-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I smelled a lie when I was six and all my life became a likewise
Fabrication

Fabrication, fabrication
Fable, fable, fable
Fable, fable, fable

Whaat, I actually got a medal with that text? :rofl: That's about 10 places higher than I expected, really.

The winning lyrics are well made, so congrats to Timothy! :mrgreen:

Nine 40+ pointers? Uncommon sight.

EDIT: Haha, revelation from the comment section: Timoteus random-word-generated his winning entry.... For a moment, I had thought that might have been the case. But this shows that even minor editing can help readers find meaning in nonsense. The lyrics don't look much like jibberish. And it shows that room for interpretation IS still desired. Many lyrics are so chewed and processed. However, it is also a warning sign if random beats rehearsed. Perhaps the optimum is somewhere in between. (As I keep saying, for me, Mattokauppias has been the closest to that nirvana.)

Congratulations on your victory, Timoteus! :tapu: I must admit that your winning has not been a fluke. The lyrics are quite well-written.
I also want to congratulate UFOPOLI and akuankka13. Good job, guys!

Apart from the felicitations, I want to indicate that I am truly happy with the score I have achieved given that this was my first entry ever. Thank you very much, everybody! :)

Joo, hyvä pila. Ja UFOPOLIn voi mielestäni hylätä, kun kerran hänellä on mukana kolme sanoitusta, kahden sallitun sijaan. Tosi hauskaa oli. Mahtavaa valvojuutta.
