Sissal:

Sissal, or by her full name Sissal Jóhanna Norðberg Niclasen, is a 30-year-old Danish singer-songwriter born in the Faroe Islands, and currently residing in Copenhagen, Denmark. At the age of 10, she won a music competition equivalent to MGP in the Faroe Islands, and alongside music, she is studying to become a teacher. Earlier this year, she released her first EP, “Hear Me Now”.

“Hallucination”:

The song describes a connection so strong with another person that it feels almost unreal – like a hallucination. This experience completely changes the speaker’s perception of the world, making them see colors they’ve never noticed before and question what they thought they knew. There’s a sense of losing control, but also of a new revelation where the world changes and darkness dissipates. As the singer herself said, “it’s about meeting someone where the connection feels so real that it almost seems unreal.”

The song was written by the singer herself, along with Chris ChordzLine SpangsbergMalthe JohansenLinnea Deb, who wrote among others the winning song at Eurovision 2015, “Heroes“, Marcus Winther-John, who wrote the songs for Andorra at Eurovision 2009 and Cyprus at Eurovision 2023, and Melanie Wehbe, who wrote the songs for Denmark and the UK at Eurovision 2019, Sweden at Eurovision 2020 and Denmark at Eurovision 2024. Apart from Deb, Winther-John and Wehbe, this is the first song by the writers to compete in Eurovision. The song is performed in English.

Lyrics of “Hallucination”:

You show me more
More than meets the eye
You open all the doors inside my mind
I see colours I never saw before
A thousand shades of light come to life

Making me question all that I thought true
All that I’m seeing through you
My vision’s blurry but I can see clearly
Maybe I’m losing control

You’re my hallu-u-u
Hallucination
Hallu-u-u
Hallucination

I’m paranoid
Slipping from reality
You’re leading me into another fantasy

Oh, making me question all that I thought true
All that I’m seeing through you
My vision is blurry but I can see clearly
Maybe I’m losing control

You’re my hallu-u-u
Hallucination
Hallu-u-u
Hallucination
A new-ew-ew
Revelation
Hallu-u-u
Hallucination

Worlds are changing
Darkness fading
I follow you to the end and now I’m changing
(Now I’m changing)
It’s a new sensation

(Worlds are changing)
(Darkness fading)
(My hallucination)
Hallucination
(Worlds are changing)
(Darknesѕ fading)
(My hallucination)

You’re my hallu-u-u
Hallucination
Hallu-u-u
Hallucination

Hey yeah, yeah…
Hallucination

You’re my hallu-u-u
Hallucination
Hallu-u-u
Hallucinаtion
