Your Power
BEDROOM - Billie Eilish Lyrics

Try not to abuse your power
Please be mindful and refrain from using your authority in a harmful or oppressive manner.

I know we didn't choose to change
We did not willingly opt for these circumstances that caused a shift in our relationship.

You might not wanna lose your power
It's possible that you are reluctant to relinquish your control or influence.

But having it's so strange
However, the experience of possessing that authority feels unfamiliar or peculiar.

She said you were a hero, you played the part
According to her, you were perceived as a heroic figure and successfully portrayed that role.

But you ruined her in a year, don't act like it was hard
Nevertheless, you caused her significant harm within a span of one year, so pretending it was challenging is disingenuous.

And you swear you didn't know (didn't know)
You insist that you were unaware of your actions or their consequences.

No wonder why you didn't ask
It's understandable why you didn't seek clarification or inquire further.

She was sleeping in your clothes (in your clothes)
She used to sleep while wearing your garments, symbolizing a close and intimate connection.

But now she's got to get to class
However, she now needs to attend to her responsibilities and commitments, implying a shift or separation in their relationship.

How dare you?
Expressing outrage or indignation towards your actions.

And how could you?
Questioning how it was even possible for you to behave in such a manner.

Will you only feel bad when they find out?
Are you only going to experience remorse or guilt once your actions are exposed to others?

If you could take it all back, would you?
Given the opportunity, would you undo or reverse the harm you caused?

I thought that I was special, you made me feel
I used to believe that I held a unique place in your life, but you manipulated me into thinking that way.

Like it was my fault you were the devil, lost your appeal
You made me believe that your wickedness was my own doing, consequently diminishing your allure or charm.

Does it keep you in control? (In control)
Does maintaining this power over others give you a sense of dominance or authority?

For you to keep her in a cage?
Is it necessary for you to confine her as though she were a captive?

And you swear you didn't know (didn't know)
Once again, you assert that you were oblivious to the implications and ramifications of your actions.

You said you thought she was your age
You claimed to believe that she was the same age as you, which is now perceived as a dubious statement.

How dare you?
Expressing renewed outrage or indignation towards your continued behavior.

And how could you?
Reiterating the question of how it was even possible for you to act this way.

Will you only feel bad if it turns out that they kill your contract?
Will you solely experience remorse or regret if it is discovered that your professional agreements or partnerships are terminated?

Would you?
Are you willing to face the consequences of your actions?

Power isn't pain
Contrary to popular belief, possessing power does not equate to inflicting suffering or hardship.

Mmm
An ambiguous vocalization without a specific interpretation.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repetitive melodic phrase serving as a vocal embellishment.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, hmm
Continuation of melodic vocalization, indicating a reflective or contemplative state.
