"Ode to Joy" is the EU Anthem, in the background. Symbolically she writes "Democracy, Freedom, Sovereignty" etc into the sand. These get washed away by the waves. Then she writes "Hellenes" and the waves wash over as before, but the word remains. She distinguishes between "Europe" (the everlasting) and the "EU" - a political construct. Easy!

Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" (1785) is the official anthem of the European Union (E.U.)
"Ode to Lost Joy" is a metaphor on the current situation the peoples of Europe are gradually facing - the people of Greece being the first and most fiercely attacked. In the name of a "Union" which has grown to be anti-democratic - infected by the corruption of its political elite, international bankers, corporations, and mainstream media - lies, blackmailing, moralizing, and scapegoating are put to use in order to subject the people, shattering lives, and destroying democracy.
