The song is a moderately up-tempo number . The singer begins by singing that she is still alive , and that despite her thorns , she also has many flowers . As the song goes on , this is revealed to be a metaphor for the people of Israel ( the song is ambiguous as to whether this refers to the modern state or the global Jewish community ) surviving various attempts at destroying it . The song had further profound meanings since it was performed on German soil with the Holocaust background and in the city of Munich , the site of the Munich massacre in 1972 . Haza performed the entry with five backup singers , who were all dressed in yellow costumes
