all the good girls go to hell
Billie Eilish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Standing there, killing time
Can't commit to anything but a crime
Peter's on vacation, an open invitation
Animals, evidence
Pearly gates look more like a picket fence
Once you get inside 'emGot friends but can't invite them
Hills burn in California
My turn to ignore ya
Don't say I didn't warn ya
All the good girls go to hell
'Cause even God herself has enemies
And once the water starts to rise
And heaven's out of sight
She'll want the devil on her team
My Lucifer is lonely
Look at you needing me
You know I'm not your friend without some greenery
Walk in wearing fetters
Peter should know better
Your cover up is caving in
Man is such a fool
Why are we saving him?
Poisoning themselves now
Begging for our help, wow!
Hills burn in California
My turn to ignore yaDon't say I didn't warn ya
All the good girls go to hell
'Cause even God herself has enemies
And once the water starts to rise
And heaven's out of sight
She'll want the devil on her team
My Lucifer is lonely
There's nothing left to save now
My god is gonna owe me
There's nothing left to save now
(I cannot do this snowflake)
The lyrics of "all the good girls go to hell" by Billie Eilish depict a dystopian view of the world caused by humans through the lens of religious imagery. The song refers to Lucifer and his loneliness suggesting that he is an outcast from heaven after his fall. His loneliness can also represent the evil that exists within the hearts of men. The verse "Standing there, killing time, Can't commit to anything but a crime" talks about how people are always looking for something to occupy their time, which often leads them to commit crimes.
The song also alludes to climate change through the lyrics "Hills burn in California, my turn to ignore ya" talking about how the wildfires in California are burning down hills, and people are still not taking it seriously, even though it affects everyone. Similarly, when the water starts to rise, people are running out of options, and they will end up embracing whoever can give them a solution, even if it means teaming up with the devil.
The chorus "All the good girls go to hell cause even God herself has enemies" highlights the fact that even God has enemies, and no one is perfect. The song implies that even though you could make the best decisions and righteous choices, they won't matter in the end because the world is messed up beyond repair. The singer Billie Eilish is trying to get this message through her audience that we must take urgent action to prevent the catastrophic outcomes of climate change.

It's a testament for climate change, Billie has been an advocate for years.
Hints
- Once the waters rise (rising sea levels)
-Swimming in black liquid when she fell (Oil)
- Hills Burn in California (Wild fires)
- Don't say I told you (Scientists warning us since the 90's)
Hope there will be a day that we should wake up and change the way we treat our planet.

@Tatiana_Altukhova
Пока всё идёт по планам врагов человечества, так называемых Хранителей/опекунов. Сначала показывают нам свои планы (текст песни, видеоряд), проводится предиктивное программирование людей (они считают нас глупыми животными), доят с нас энергию, затем за счёт нашей энергии реализуют свои планы против нас. А когда мы видим проявление этих жестоких планов в нашем пространстве, то даже не задумываемся об использовании нашей энергии для этого ужаса. Кто-то удивляется: «Ну надо же, какое совпадение, как же в тему она спела!» А почему не спросить: «Зачем петь про это и зачем слушать это?» Где наша осознанность, люди?

Lembrando que,
Billie nunca falou se ela era satanista, como muito disseram, a música fala como humanos são gananciosos, não pensam nos outros, no ambiente. Tanto q ela fala "montanhas queimam na Califórnia, minha vez de ignorar, não diga q não avisei" (isso de fato esta acontecendo de uma forma drástica), na música também fala que não entende pq tem que ajudar o homem sendo que ele é ruim e cava o próprio túmulo. E quando da merda, o homem procura todo mundo pra ajudar,
pedem ajuda a "Deus" ou até mesmo ao satanás.

@@Tatiana_Altukhova Вы совсем больная? Эта песня не спето людям под 40+ что бы для вас там красивые слова подбирать, я уверен что слова подобраны не случайно так как калифорния всегда разагаралась пламенем, просто сейчас это дошло до масштабных уровней и в не подходящую ветренную погоду, а про ваши эти теории заговора то что у нас энергию пьют из музыки это полная чушь, не обманывайте себя, зачем же правительству показывать свои планы через песню а потом поджигать свои страны и лишаться острова?
