Nation
Nation Name: Kostane
Nation Trigram: KOS
Best Result: 1st (x1)

Artist/Band
Artist/Band Name: Hilly Willy (William Hallenbourg)
Age & Pronouns: 22 | He / Him
Information: Hilly Willy is a college student who is known mostly for being the life of the party among his friends. That is, of course, not saying much because the school he attends is known more for its engineering program than its party scene. Regardless, Willy is very expressive in his music, both about good times and bad times. Growing up in rural Opora, he is heavily influenced by folk music, but combined that with the more urban music styles he has learned to enjoy during college.

Song
Song Title: empty.
Genre: Pop (I picture most of the song in somewhat of the style of “The Cave” by Mumford & Sons)
Languages: English

You can slice me open but there’s nothing inside,
Except for all the pain and torture that I hide,
All for your sake,
I’m the one you forsake,
So go live your life while I’m trapped in mine,
You keep on moving on and I’ll say I’m fine,
All for your sake,
I’m the one you forsake,

Ooohhh, I bleed out,
And, ooohhh, you pretend to pout,
But I know you never cared a damn,
I don’t think you even know who I am.

And sooooo, I’ll lay here on the ground,
Let yoooouuu, ignore the desp’rate sound,
Of all my tears,
Of all the years,
You tore me up,
And as I crawl back to my feet,
Just to watch you once more cheat,
For all those years,
When I cried my tears,
You tore me up.

Ooohhh, I bleed out,
And, ooohhh, you pretend to pout,
But I know you never cared a damn,
I don’t think you even know who I am.

I’m sorry, that you’ll never feel my pain,
I’m sorry, that I have to go through this again,
To heal your fragile ego,
Now you’re done with me, so…
I’m not sorry, for what you’ve put yourself through,
I’m not sorry, if all the things that I do,
Are breaking your ego,
You did it to me, so…

Ooohhh, I bleed out,
And, ooohhh, you pretend to pout,
But I know you never cared a damn,
I don’t think you even know who I am.
Got no more tears to bleed,
Ohhh, you’re all I need,
But you don’t even care,
You’ve got no love to spare,
And so I lie,
And so I die,
Alone again,
I don’t need a friend.

Song
Song Title: Tha Sau Te Go Dun (The Sun To Go Down)
Genre: Tejano
Languages: Niolian/English

Lyrics
I am os tha raode, onhabil te go foweard
Thow hos linst ma behan.
Tha sau betes dun on me.
Mo ros wathered onder tha sau.

E windig raode, en oneding raode.
Wej arn ell ofera ant ell I faal es tha ponai

Ell I vant es tha sau te go dun
Allo ma te faal tha wind on ma fas
Ant allo ma te sow tha sedes agon
E ros gros agon.

I am on the road, unable to go forward
You have left me behind.
The sun beats down on me
My rose has withered under the sun.

A winding road, an unending road
This was so tiring
We are all over the place, and all I feel is the pain.

All I want is the sun to go down
Allow me to the feel the wind on my face
And allow me to sow the seeds again
A rose blooms again.

I feel the heat of the sun.
The heat now burns and I now want to hide
It has not rained in a long time
My fields have turned to a dusty desert

This love has taken its toll on me.
I am now so tired.
Our minds are all over the place and all there is left is pain.

All I want is the sun to go down
Allow me to the feel the wind on my face
And allow me to sow the seeds again
A rose blooms again.

Song
Song Title: Soul
Genre: Metalcore
Languages: English

Lyrics:

In the shadows of the night,
Where echoes linger and never fade,
I hear the screams, I hear the cries,
Of a wandering soul that’s strayed.

This world of chaos, this world of pain,
I’ve battled through fire and acid rain.
But the darkness beckons, whispers my name,
Pulling me back into the game.

Rise up from the ashes,
Break the chains that bind.
In this fight, we won’t be silent,
We’re leaving our fears behind.
Feel the rage within ignite,
Let it burn, let it fight.

Walking on the edge of despair,
Breathing in this toxic air.
Shattered dreams and broken scars,
In this war, we embrace who we are.

With every scar, with every tear,
We rise stronger, casting out fear.
In this storm, we find our grace,
A resurrection from this dark place.

Rise up from the ashes,
Break the chains that bind.
In this fight, we won’t be silent,
We’re leaving our fears behind.
Feel the rage within ignite,
Let it burn, let it fight.

In the darkness, we found light,
Through the struggle, we’ll unite.
In this rusted heart’s fight,
We shine brightly, with endless might.

Song Title: Stirred Fries
Genre: Joke
Languages: English

Lyrics

Intro containing guitar and drum*

VERSE 1
Look it up, mmm
Look it up, mmm
Look that potato on that weird delivery app
It just has so much fat
So get it
And cut.

PRE-CHORUS
I know you don't have an air fryer
But you need to somehow fry it, it's fire
I don't know what to do after that
But stir it, it spreads all that fat

CHORUS
Stirred fries, mmm
Stirred fries, yeah
It's all what you could ask for
And it's so affordable
Wrap it around your earlobe
There's nothing better than a stirred fry

VERSE 2
Do you see how tasty it is?
If not, you're gonna miss this opportunity
And you won't get immunity
To that cold, cold, fast food junk
You know, just put it under the bunk

PRE-CHORUS
I know you don't have an air fryer
But you need to somehow fry it, it's fire
I don't know what to do after that
But stir it, it spreads all that fat

CHORUS
Stirred fries, mmm
Stirred fries, yeah
It's all what you could ask for
And it's so affordable
Wrap it around your earlobe
There's nothing better than a stirred fry

BRIDGE
This is the most greatest thing ever!
I know that was grammatically wrong, but I don't care
Because you're an absolute hare
Just eat those stirred fries, I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!

(interlude)

CHORUS
Stirred fries, mmm
Stirred fries, yeah
It's all what you could ask for
And it's so affordable
Wrap it around your earlobe
There's nothing better than a stirred fry

*AND... CUT!*

Lyrics:
A cóz que pérdi lo contróle
Que sabi que sabi que sabi
Que soi desolat
Si t'inquiétes
Que sabes que't coneshes
E quan las nostás lagremás s'assecaràn
que dançaram las nostás annás dens la nueit
A cóz que pérdi lo contróle
Que sabi que sabi que sabi

Hè
Que pensi qu'as entenut çó qui èi dit
Que pensi que deurès sabe que soi desolat
Alavez

No
Que sabi que perdonaràs pas
Mes qu'i a tróp de pressio
E que senti qu'as comprès

A cóz que pérdi lo contróle
Que sabi que sabi que sabi
Que soi desolat
Si t'inquiétes
Que sabes que't coneshes
E quan las nostás lagremás s'assecaràn
que dançaram las nostás annás dens la nueit
A cóz que pérdi lo contróle
Que sabi que sabi que sabi

Alavez si t'agradá, ce pódes perdona
E que la héstá comence
que podem sortir Si at vóles

A cóz que pérdi lo contróle
Que sabi que sabi que sabi
Que soi desolat
Si t'inquiétes
Que sabes que't coneshes
E quan las nostás lagremás s'assecaràn
que dançaram las nostás annás dens la nueit
A cóz que pérdi lo contróle
Que sabi que sabi que sabi


Translation:

Sometimes I lose control
I know I know I know
I'm sorry If you're worried
You know you know you
And when our tears dry out
We'll dance our souls in the nights
Sometimes I lose control
I know I know I know

Hey
I think you heard what I said
I think you should know that I'm sorry
So

No
I know that you won't forgive
But there's too much pressure
And I feel that you've understood

Sometimes I lose control
I know I know I know
I'm sorry If you're worried
You know you know you
And when our tears dry out
We'll dance our souls in the night
Sometimes I lose control
I know I know I know

So please can you forgive
And let's get this party started
We can go out If you wa-a-ant

Sometimes I lose control
I know I know I know
I'm sorry If you're worried
You know you know you
And when our tears dry out
We'll dance our souls in the night
Sometimes I lose control
I know I know I know
