Born and raised in Los Angeles, Eilish grew up in a household of actors and musicians and was homeschooled along with her brother Finneas O'Connell. At the age of eight, she joined the Los Angeles Children's Choir, developing the soulful vocals that would later appear on her early singles.
After the release of "Six Feet Under" and "Fingers Crossed," Eilish made her breakthrough with "Ocean Eyes," produced and co-written with FINNEAS and released by Interscope. It surpassed 14 million online streams and spawned a number of remixes with Astronomyy, blackbear, and Goldhouse.
Eilish followed up in February 2017 with "bellyache," then landed another track, "Bored," on the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. An EP, "dont smile at me," featuring the singles "COPYCAT" and "watch," followed later that summer. Her debut full-length album "WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?," was released on March 29th, 2019 via Interscope Records.
On January 26, 2020, she won five Grammys, including the "big four" awards: Album of The Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist. On February 18th, 2020, she won a Brit Award for International Female Solo Artist and for the first time performed her James Bond's theme song "No Time to Die," joined by composer Hans Zimmer, guitar legend Johnny Marr and Finneas. The theme won Eilish and Finneas an Oscar for Best Original Song. Additionally, Eilish is the youngest musician to have ever performed the theme song for a Bond's film.
On July 31, 2021, Billie Eilish has released her Sophomore Album "Happier Than Ever," which broke the internet two days after its release. Eilish performed the album at the Life Is Beautiful festival, her first performance since the pandemic.
In 2024, Eilish returned with her third studio album, "HIT ME HARD AND SOFT," released on May 17, 2024. The album featured hit songs like "LUNCH," "CHIHIRO," and "BIRDS OF A FEATHER." Prior to this, her introspective ballad "What Was I Made For?," a track written for the Barbie movie soundtrack, won two Grammys Awards for Best Song Written for Visual Media and Song of the Year and her second Oscar for Best Original Song. This achievement solidified her place as one of the most influential artists of her generation.
Eilish's ability to merge deeply personal lyrics with innovative production continues to push boundaries, making her one of the most compelling voices in contemporary music.

Billie Eilish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't want to want you
But in my dreams, I seem to be more honest
And I must admit you've been in quite a few
Halley's Comet
Comes around more than I do
But you're all it takes for me to break a promiseSilly me to fall in love with you
I haven't slept since Sunday
Midnight for me is 3AM for you
But my sleepless nights are better
With you than nights could ever be alone, ooh
I was good at feelin' nothin', now I'm hopeless
What a drag to love you like I do
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I've been loved before, but right now in this moment
I feel more and more like I was made for you
For you
I'm sitting in my brother's room
Haven't slept in a week or two, or two
I think I might have fallen in love
What am I to do?
Billie Eilishās song "Halley's Comet" is an emotional reflection of the artist's inner feelings about a person she loves. The opening lines suggest that the artist is in a conflicted state when it comes to love. She recognizes that she doesn't want to want this person, but when she dreams, she is honest with herself and admits that theyāve been in her thoughts a lot. The reference to Halley's Comet is used as a metaphor to describe how the person she loves appears in and out of her life like the comet does. Billie then reflects on how difficult it can be to keep promises when she is around this person, showing how much they affect her. Billie knows deep down that loving this person may not be the best decision, but she canāt help how she feels.
The chorus is the most significant part of the entire song. Billie is unable to fall asleep at night, thinking about the person she loves, who is in a different time zone. However, she admits that she is better off thinking about them rather than being alone. Billie is also admitting that she was never the type of person to be emotional and susceptible to love, but this person has changed her completely. She recognizes how much she loves them and how much of a drag it is to feel that way. Finally, in the last lines, she is admitting that she might have fallen in love and doesnāt know what to do. The song is a reflection of the emotional turmoil that comes with falling in love.

I don't want it
I don't want this feeling of love
And I don't want to want you
I don't want to desire you
But in my dreams, I seem to be more honest
In my dreams, I face my true feelings for you
And I must admit you've been in quite a few
I can't deny that you are always in my thoughts
Halley's Comet
An astronomical event that happens occassionally
Comes around more than I do
You cross my mind more than I am present in your life
But you're all it takes for me to break a promise
I can't keep my promise of avoiding love when I'm near you
Silly me to fall in love with you
It was foolish of me to let myself fall for you
I haven't slept since Sunday
I'm sleep-deprived since Sunday
Midnight for me is 3AM for you
We have a time difference but it doesn't affect my feelings for you
But my sleepless nights are better
Despite my lack of sleep, having you in my thoughts makes it worth it
With you than nights could ever be alone, ooh
My nights are more worthwhile with you in my heart
I was good at feelin' nothin', now I'm hopeless
I used to be indifferent, but now I feel helpless because of my love for you
What a drag to love you like I do
It's difficult to handle the intensity of my love for you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Vocalization of the feeling of being in love
I've been loved before, but right now in this moment
I've experienced love in the past, but my current feelings for you surpass them
I feel more and more like I was made for you
I feel like we were meant to be together
For you
Everything I do is for you
I'm sitting in my brother's room
I'm in an unfamiliar location, thinking about you
Haven't slept in a week or two, or two
Sleep has evaded me for a while now
I think I might have fallen in love
I'm realizing that I'm in love with you
What am I to do?
I don't know how to handle my feelings for you

The Book of Truth
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid ā repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware ā Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 ā rise of the ā man of peaceā from the East = Antichrist ā the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust āpopeā Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
"Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations ā bound as one, at its very core ā will all take place at the same time."
