Bonus Round: Luka (Winner) vs Hyuna (Challenger)
Old friend,
How high in the sky have they raised you?
Golden Boy,
You are so cold now
Fingers frozen eternally blue
Your soul, your fire, exhausted
There was smoke in your gaze the day you said you’d stay
If I’m a shimmer in the sky
You are a faint memory
Murky, mutated,
A rose gold impression of the past
I remember you leaving
Speeding by like a fleeting wish
Tell me what it’s like to live another day
At the top
A distant land
Somewhere far away
Sing to us mother
What the future holds
The victor’s eyes are blinded
By the spotlight they stole
I am nothing, I am no one
But you look at me like I can be
Your champion does not need a pulse when my heartbeat stands before me
The rulers of my life
How does the songbird flee when it never learned to fly?
My smile was real when the sun was not
How stupid were we, thinking monsters would treat us like humans?
Tell me what it’s like to live another day
At the top
A distant land
Somewhere far away
Sing to us mother
What the future holds
The victor’s eyes are blinded
By the spotlight they stole
…
Old friend,
In my dream I decide to take your hand
And, together, we make it to that distant land
Old friend,
What now?
I can see nothing beyond this white light
