Billie Eilish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought I found a way
Thought I found a way out (found)
But you never go away (never go away)
So I guess I gotta stay now

Oh, I hope some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear

Isn't it lovely, all alone?
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home

Walkin' out of time
Lookin' for a better place (lookin' for a better place)
Something's on my mind (mind)
Always in my head space

But I know some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear

Isn't it lovely, all alone?
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home

Whoa, yeah
Yeah, ah
Whoa, whoa
Hello, welcome home

Overall Meaning

“Lovely” by Billie Eilish is a hauntingly captivating song that talks about the struggles of life and the constant need for a place of refuge. As the song begins, we hear the singer express the sentiments that she has been trying to escape from something in her life but still finds herself stuck in the same place without any respite. The opening lines,"Thought I found a way, Thought I found a way out (found),But you never go away (never go away),So I guess I gotta stay now" reveal the fact that the singer has been searching for an escape but is unable to find one. The repetition of the line ‘I guess I gotta stay now” signifies her resignation to the situation.


In the chorus, the singer talks about her desire to find a way out of her current situation, but she is not sure how long it will take her. She says she needs a place to hide, but she cannot find one that is close enough, and she is scared of leaving her comfort zone, and this is preventing her from living life fully. The line, "Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear," demonstrates the vulnerability of the singer and highlights the struggle that she is going through.


The song's overall theme deals with the duality of human nature – feeling vulnerable and strong simultaneously. The last line “Hello, welcome home” is a metaphorical welcome that the singer extends to herself, where she discovers her inner strength and vulnerability, signifying how she has finally reconciled with her emotions.

OverviewLyricsListen
Thought I found a way
Thought I found a way out (found)
But you never go away (never go away)
So I guess I gotta stay now
Oh, I hope some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear
Isn't it lovely, all alone
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home
Walkin' out of town
Lookin' for a better place (lookin' for a better place)
Something's on my mind (mind)
Always in my head space
But I know some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear
Isn't it lovely, all alone
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home
Whoa, yeah
Yeah, ah
Whoa, whoa
