I don't usually care very much for the lyrics, but I did the exact same thing and I also agree, as much as I love Israel 2020, I don't really understand people that loved Feker Libi + do not like these three songs + use the lyrics as an excuse not to do so, since last year no one has complained about them and for me they sound equally messy, polarizing and quite... uninspired?
Maybe a reason for that is the fact there's multiple languages, anyway I stand by my point.

I guess the goodness in "Feker Libi" & Eden's ability to sell the song have effectively outweigh the basic lyrics of the song.
But there is basically nothing amazing in the 2021 songs which perhaps then highlights the weaknesses of songs more (ie. basic lyrics) if you know what I mean.
But "La La Love" lyrics in the chorus are definitely a big no for me. It's way too tacky and insensitive. "Ue La La" has basically nothing much going on in the lyrics, so nothing for me to hate in that aspect. "Set Me Free" while basic as it is has got the best lyrics out of the 3 songs.
I mean................. feker libi wasn't talking about infecting generations while people were dying in the middle of a pandemic but ok

I did not love Feker Libi last year, but I thought it was fun despite its lyrics and Eden could still sell it - an interesting mixture of languages and changing beats I'd happily dance to. "Ok kids, I guess I am not 100% the target audience, but I could still find a spot in a corner of this party without feeling utterly embarrassed".
This year, some of those elements are perhaps still present and of course, Eden's performance saves a lot. But I don't fell like dancing anymore and the language mixture becomes less charming and more annoying - so those trashy lyrics cannot hide anymore under the surface.
It's become Superg!rl teenage party sung by a better perfomer.
Feker Libi, Rakata, a winning song of this year.. it's all the same to me. So i'm the only one who wouldn't call it a downgrade 
.
"Set Me Free" is even an upgrade, but i know it won't win.
I know what most of you are missing this year: amharic language. So my suggestion to israel is to add some amharic to the mix. There's more than enough time.

Based on how you judge the songs, you've got very good points @crashworld and @HayashiM.
The only reason I don't agree with you is a matter of taste - I don't find La La Love and Set Me Free as meh as you think.
Feker Libi is probably a lot more impactful than La La Love because of: mix of languages + the structure + it's a lot more ethnic, but despite all the love it gets in our forum it's a quite polarizing hot mess (still a mess) while La La Love makes a lot more sense as a song to me and it's a lot safer, which is both good and bad as we all know.
I still think and I've always said none of them tops Feker Libi but for me, but I don't think La La Love and Set Me Free are that bad either. Ue La La is just not for my taste so I won't talk about it.
