This song has a deeper meaning. 'Papa' is translated 'dad' in dutch. Joost lost his dad to cancer when he was 12 and his mom a year later because of a cardiac arrest. When he was younger he watched the Eurovision with his parents and said “I’m gonna sing at Eurovision one day”. Joost sings that no matter where he goes or what he eats, he can not escape the pain of this loss. In the end he says goodbye to the pain of his loss by burning the photo, without losing the memory. This song is also an ode to Europe. His dad told him that it’s a world without borders, because borders are invented by humans. And that you can create your own world. The dance break is happy hardcore - a music style that was invented in the Netherlands, also called gabber music. Bringing a personal loss, the feeling of Europe and the dutch culture together; that is art.

I'm Dutch too and I hadn't heard of Joost before the songfestival either. It's probably because I'm not into KZbinrs and I don't go to festivals. I'm guess it's the people under 35 that know him. But I'm definitely a fan now. :-)

Thank you guys for your reaction. 12 points to The Netherlands. The winner of the Eurovision Songcontest 2024. This is a masterpiece. Euro papa= Euro dad, because papa is dad in Dutch. A sad song with lyrics with a meaning, with a message, in a happy hardcore melody. A letter to his father who died when he was a 12 year old child. His mother past away a year later. He promised his father that he will be someday on the Eurovision Songcontest stage. His father told him that it is possible because there are no borders between the countries, and no limits to follow his dream. Borders and limitations are made by human. In every country he went, he felt the pain and grief of no having his parents. The fire symbolise letting go of the grief and pain, and the start of a new chapter in his live.

You can travel freely in a Europe w/o borders but the pain of the loss of loved ones travels with you. Follow your dreams and make the ones you love proud. Carry the memories with you but also their lessons. Joost is no joke he is a survivor right through the pain to party on the eurovision stage.

This song is a tribute to his father / Parents who passed away. Europa in Dutch means Europe. Pa or Papa means dad. His dad once told him the world has no “Grenzen” which could be translated to both borders (Borders are a man made concept) or limitations (Many people create their own limitations in their own mind). This life lesson inspired him to have keep having an open view on the world and live his life to the fullest without putting limitations on himself. After his parents died he carried a lot of pain with him. No matter where on earth he was (Germany, Italy), whatever food he would eat (Escargots in France, Fish and chips in UK, Paella in Spain), he still carries this pain with him. In the end nobody but himself could deal with this pain and he himself must find peace with his losses. Only going through the grief and finding inner peace would put a end to this suffering. This song tells the story of him as an orphan trying to do exactly that. Him creating this song was a huge part of this process. The line with Stromae / papaoute (which Translates to: Dad where are you), is followed with the words about how he wants his parents to be proud of him. He used to watch Eurovision with his parents and told them one day he would be there performing. Which is what he now did.

Joost was orphaned as a 12 year old. That is what this song is about. His journey from that traumatic moment till now. The burning at the end is him letting go of his traumatic past and look to the future now! Joost is a poet, an artist..we love him❤❤❤. Thnx for your happy comment and don't forget to 'hakkûh' during the dance break!!!

It's not about Brexit! It's about Europe having free boarders and how easy it is to travel from one country to the other, but for him personally , it's the feeling of pain of being alone where ever he goes (he lost his parents at a young age).

information joost klein : song is Ode to father The song is an ode to Joost's father. In the song Joost tells the listener that there are no limits if you want to make your dreams come true and tell your story. He also says this about it. Europapa is about an orphan who travels across Europe (and beyond) to find himself and tell his story. At first people don't recognize him, but he takes every chance he gets to show himself. Europapa is a tribute to my father. When he raised me, he passed on to me an expansive view of the world. He also wants to say something about his act. The Eurovision Song Contest performance will be an experience in which everything turns from sadness to elation. When people see my act, their first reaction should be, "What's going on here?"' but only to find that they are moved. An invitation to dive deeper. At first glance it seems like a very happy act, but behind it lies blood, sweat and tears

The song is a letter to his parents who died when Joost was still young. His father told him that since humans invented the borders, he could invent the world, his own world. And so he did! The end with the burning picture and house means that it's time to stop grieving about his parents and step into a new phase in his life.

It has nothing to do with Brexit. While there is some symbolism at the end that one could interpret to be a inner collapse or discord of the European way, the primary 'policy' that his song refers to is the Schengen agreement about open borders. That is something the UK has never taken part in to begin with, and thus it cannot be any sort of commentary on Brexit. But that is just the surface-level meanings of the song that anyone can pick up on at first watch. The real message is far more personal, and others in the comments have already explained those!

It's a song about the advantages of Europe. It's a Europe song, we can travel to friends without needing a visa and if we can't afford it, we can dream our way there. The last one is very important because he explains what a father told him. There are no borders, borders only exist in the mind. It's a song about Europe and a thank you to his father who gave him what opportunities he had. From Germany 12 points. But we all know that unfortunately he will not win. Even if all the reactions here say otherwise. The Netherlands shouldn't always have to qualify, they don't belong to Europe like some other countries. At the ESC they suddenly belong to Europe, but otherwise they don't care about Europe. It should also be compulsory to sing in your own language again. You present your country. Greetings from Berlin
