The song "Ikke Alene" by Gilli is about the struggles and emotions of the artist and his close friend or brother. The lyrics convey a sense of unity, support, and understanding between them. The song starts by stating that Gilli's shorty (a term for a close friend or partner) is always on the move, which is understandable given the circumstances they face. They have been through various hardships, from robberies to owning luxury watches like Rollie (a Rolex). The lines suggest that people talk about money, but if they're not part of their circle, they should stay away. Gilli's mother looks into his eyes and asks how he is doing, possibly indicating the concern she has for her son's well-being. Gilli describes Copenhagen as having too many cold days and mentions that him and the people around him are introverted. They have lost too many brothers who have passed away and are now in heaven. The chorus asks what his friend would do if he were in the same situation, emphasizing that the world keeps spinning like a sprint. Gilli's mentioning of being born in a world with no other way out implies the difficulties they face. However, everything they have done is because they are trying to get through these struggles. The lyrics encourage his friend to keep his head up and assure him that he is not alone. The second verse recalls a time when a judge tried to sentence his friend for a decade, attempting to take away his hope. Gilli states that his friend is now behind bars, only being able to see prison bars through his window. However, they are there for each other, and Gilli's thoughts are with his friend, trying to explain the life they live and how it feels like watching a movie. The chorus is repeated, highlighting the message of unity and support. The bridge acknowledges the harsh reality they face, where they have nothing to lose and are trying to get through each day. Each day feels the same, and the world is described as cold and getting colder. Gilli contrasts the emptiness they feel with people who only show up when their bank account has commas. He mentions that no one was there for his friend when he had empty pockets. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the message of support and reminding his friend that he is not alone.
