Denmark at Eurovision 2025: Sissal with “Hallucination”
Sissal was born in Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands, and her father is the Faroese artist Mikkalina Norðberg. She is the second Faroese artist to perform in Eurovision after Reiley (Denmark, 2023).
Her first major achievement came in 2005, when she won the Faroese children’s singing competition Nósa Barnaprix with the song “Summarið er komið.” In 2010, she won the annual singing competition Ársins Songrødd.
In 2020, Sissal moved to Copenhagen to focus on her international music career. She released her debut EP, Hear Me Now, in 2025.
What do the “Hallucination” lyrics mean?
Denmark brings a happy pop tune that celebrates love. More precisely, the song speaks about that deep love when you’re not sure what’s happening to you, when you’re on the edge of reality and fantasy. It’s a kind of love that makes you see life with new eyes, feeling emotions that go beyond what is visible to everyone else:
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
The feeling is so bright, pure, and intense that it becomes difficult to understand whether what’s happening is real or not, constantly wondering if it’s a hallucination or a fantasy from which she might eventually wake up to reality. But in the end, it’s just a side effect of being in love—feeling all this joy—and it’s a beautiful part of falling in love that should be enjoyed:
Baby, I’m losing control
You’re my hallu-u-u
Hallucination
(…)
Slipping from reality
You’re leading me into another fantasy
Ultimately, it’s just the reality of love that makes all the darkness gained from life’s challenges, past experiences, and insecurities fade away, allowing the light in. This whole new sensation feels like a door to a brand-new world, transforming her for the better:
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

You show me more
More than meets the eye
You open all the doors inside my mind
I see colors 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
Baby, 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
