Who I Am (feat. Putri Ariani & Peder Elias)

Alan Walker's song 'Who I Am' featuring Putri Ariani and Peder Elias is a powerful anthem of self-acceptance and individuality. The lyrics convey a strong message of not conforming to the expectations set by others and the importance of making one's own choices, even if they lead to mistakes. The repeated lines 'Don't say this don't say that' and 'I'm not playing by the rules if they were made by you' emphasize the artist's determination to live authentically and not be dictated by someone else's standards.

The chorus, 'Save all your tears / You don't wanna waste them on me / I'm not gonna be just like them / This is just the way that I am,' suggests a sense of resilience and confidence. The artist is aware that their path may not align with what others expect or desire, but they remain unapologetic about their identity. The imagery of having one's 'Head in the clouds' and not fitting 'into the crowd' further illustrates the theme of embracing one's uniqueness and not being afraid to stand out or think differently.

The bridge of the song introduces a sense of companionship and support, indicating that while the artist values their individuality, they also cherish the connection with someone who understands and supports them through their journey. The lines 'Cause all that you go through I'm with you' show a commitment to being there for one another, suggesting that while it's important to be true to oneself, having supportive relationships is equally valuable.
