Billie Eilish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alone with you, does that make sense?
I wanna steal your soul
And hide you in my treasure chest
I don't know what to do
To do with your kiss on my neck
I don't know what feels true
Yeah, you feel right so stay a sec
And let me crawl inside your veins
I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain
It's not like me to be so mean
You're all I wanted
Just let me hold you
Like a hostage
Gold on your fingertips
Fingertips against my cheek
Gold leaf across your lips
Kiss me until I can't speak
Gold chain beneath your shirt
The shirt that you let me wear home
Gold's fake and real love hurts
But nothing hurts when I'm alone
When you're with me and we're alone
And let me crawl inside your veins
I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain
It's not like me to be so mean
You're all I wanted
Just let me hold you
Hold you
Like a hostage
Like a hostage
Billie Eilish's song "Hostage" is about wanting to be alone with someone, but also being possessive of them. In the first verse, Billie talks about wanting to steal their soul and keep them in a treasure chest, which shows her desire to possess this person. Despite this possessiveness, Billie doesn't know what to do with the kiss on her neck and feels confused about the relationship. However, she likes the feeling and asks the person to stay for a while longer.
In the chorus, Billie compares her desire to possess this person to being a hostage. She wants to crawl inside their veins and build a wall around them to keep them close. The second verse continues with the theme of possession with the comparison to gold on their fingertips, lips, and chains. Billie talks about being able to kiss them until she can't speak and how even though love can hurt, nothing hurts when she's alone with them.
Overall, "Hostage" is a song about being possessive of someone and wanting to keep them close. It's a love song with darker themes of obsession and control.
