I
Kept looking for an answer
And I
I just didn't take myself at my word
It was all about being myself
But now I've learned what's wrong
And reflection gives me headaches
I went from one thing to the next
To having it all at once
I didn't care about principles
That happens when you don't watch out
And sometimes I put on a face
And the mirror laughs at me
And we know who I really am
And really none of it makes sense
It's, it's
It's what it is
It's, it's
It's what it is
It's, it's
What it is
It's, it's
It's what it is
It's, it's
It's what it is
It's, it's
What it is
I was wrong all that time
I
Kept searching for sincerity
And I
Found a different truth every day
I went from one thing to another
To having it all at once
I didn't care about principles
And that's how you lose yourself
And sometimes I think of those things I
Said back then
But I don't dare sing them
'Cause I didn't really mean them either
I lay for years
Crossed every line
I never exaggerated but what we did isn't right
And the path I sought
Was no more than a gamble
But it came and went and then left
It's, it's, it's
It's what it is
It's, it's
It's what it is
It's, it's
It's what it is
It's, it's
It's what it
It's, it's
It's what it is
It's, it's
It's what it is
It's, it's
What it is
It's, it's
It's what it is
It's, it's
It's what it is
It's, it's
What it is
I was wrong all that time

SONG MEANING

Picture diving into a carnival of mirrors where every reflection shows a slightly different version of you—some confident, some confused, all desperate to find "the real me." In “Het Is Wat Het Is,” Froukje strolls through that hall of mirrors, admitting how easily she slipped from one identity to the next while ignoring her own principles. She confesses that endless self-analysis only gives her a headache, so she finally throws her hands up and repeats the liberating mantra “Het is wat het is” – “It is what it is.”

The song becomes an energetic self-pep-talk: past mistakes? Accepted. Shaky morals? Noted. Multiple “truths” that changed daily? Guilty as charged. By openly owning her missteps, Froukje turns shame into honesty and anxiety into groove, backed by the sweeping Codarts Pop Orchestra. The takeaway for listeners is refreshingly simple: authenticity starts the moment you quit pretending and learn to live with the messy, imperfect self that stares back from the mirror.
