The song "Somebody I'm Not" by Martin Jensen and Bjørnskov explores the struggle of maintaining a persona that is not genuine. It tells the story of a person who appears to have a perfect life, but in reality, they face various challenges and are constantly trying to be someone they are not. The lyrics begin with a girl approaching the protagonist and admiring their apparent coolness and success. She believes their life is perfect and asks for their secret to achieving such a worry-free existence. The protagonist, however, reveals the realities they face, expressing their struggle to pay rent and the loneliness they experience. The second verse introduces another girl who is interested in the protagonist solely because of their wealth and fame. She proposes a physical encounter, but the protagonist expresses the need for genuine connection before anything else. They imply that being rich and famous is not what truly fulfills them or makes them happy. Throughout the song, the chorus repeats the question, "How does it feel living the dream?" which highlights the misconception that the protagonist is living a dream life. Despite their apparent success, they still feel a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for authenticity and a desire to be accepted for who they really are, rather than for their external facade. The overall message suggests that chasing fame, wealth, and the perception of a perfect life may not lead to true happiness. It encourages listeners to be true to themselves and to seek genuine connections and fulfillment rather than striving to be somebody they are not.
