With lyrics like “I don’t wanna have to play with real blood”, Remo realises his childhood delusions were far more sanitised than the reality of war. “Watergun” reminds listeners to be thankful for living in peaceful countries. Many young men around his age in many different countries have to fight and risk their lives at war - not with waterguns like Remo’s childhood self, but with real guns. Back then, he thought of it as very playful, not realising the seriousness of war.īut later, Remo recognises that war isn’t playful at all. In 2021, Swiss producer Pele Loriano started writing and composing the song - which means the war in Ukraine was not the reason to create this song, as Loriano stated during recent interviews. Remo starts the song by critically thinking about a childhood memories when he - and many other boys that age - pretended to fight in war.
The Swiss entry for Eurovision 2023 “Watergun” was conceptualised two years ago. Memorable lyrics: “Can′t turn and run, no waterguns, just body bags that we’ve become”
