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.
Ocean Eyes
Billie Eilish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't stop starin' at those ocean eyes
Burning cities and napalm skies
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
Your ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cryWhen you gimme those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Fallin' into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
I've been walkin' through a world gone blind
Can't stop thinkin' of your diamond mind
Careful creature made friends with time
He left her lonely with a diamond mind
And those ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Fallin' into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
Da, da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da-da-da-da
Mm
Mm
Mm
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Fallin' into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
The lyrics to Billie Eilish's song "Ocean Eyes" speak of the overpowering attraction one feels towards another person. The song begins with the singer describing how she has been observing the person of interest for a while now and can't stop looking at their ocean eyes. The imagery used to describe the person's eyes is intense, with the mention of burning cities and napalm skies, possibly symbolizing the depth of feelings the singer has for them. She is drawn to their eyes and the fifteen flares inside them.
In the chorus, the singer conveys how the person makes her feel. The sight of their ocean eyes makes her cry, and she is scared because she has never fallen from such a height for anyone before. She compares the person's eyes to an ocean, which is vast and unexplored, hinting at the endless possibilities that may come with a relationship with this person.
The second verse tells a story of a person who has isolated themselves from the world, but the singer can't stop thinking about them. The person is described as a "careful creature" who made friends with time, but they ended up lonely despite their diamond mind. It's possible that the singer is trying to convey that this person, despite their wealth or intelligence, may still feel empty and that the singer could be their saving grace.
Overall, the song speaks of intense emotions, desire, and attraction. The use of vivid imagery and poetic language adds depth to the lyrics, making them relatable to anyone who has experienced the intensity of the emotions that come with falling in love.

"Your hand is not a paper"
Don't cut it
"Your mouth is not a cloth"
Don't stitch it
"Your neck is not a hanger"
Don't hang it
"Your body is not your enemy"
Don't blame it
"Your heart is not a glass"
Don't break it
"Your life is not a film"
Don't end it
"Your heart is not a house"
Don't lock it
"Your life is not a cloth"
Don't change it
"Your not pretty"
Cause your beautiful
"They don't want you"
Cause they need you
"They don't like you"
Cause they love you
"The world doesn't have a place for you"
Cause the world has a special place for you
Not my words but spread them. <3
edit- please don't reply by swearing and by saying hate-filled words
And for them people saying I'm doing this for likes, I'm not . Ik the situation of who are depressed
I have been through it, I just wanted to spread words to make people feel better and think about their life...
