Billie Eilish - WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sleepin', you're on your tippy toes
Creepin' around like no one knows
Think you're so criminal
Bruises on both my knees for you
Don't say thank you or please
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
My soul? So cynical
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the bad guy
I like it when you take control
Even if you know that you don't
Own me, I'll let you play the role
I'll be your animal
My mommy likes to sing along with me
But she won't sing this song
If she reads all the lyrics
She'll pity the men I know
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm only good at being bad, bad
I like when you get mad
I guess I'm pretty glad that you're alone
You said she's scared of me?
I mean, I don't see what she sees
But maybe it's 'cause I'm wearing your cologne
I'm a bad guy
I'm, I'm a bad guy
Bad guy, bad guy
I'm a bad
The lyrics to Billie Eilish’s song “bad guy” center around the idea of embracing a persona that is not typically viewed as likable or admirable. Eilish’s voice takes on a sarcastic tone as she portrays herself as a “bad guy” with a bloody nose and bruises on her knees. She sings about her willingness to do whatever she wants without saying thank you or please, and encourages her listeners to embrace their own inner “bad guy” as well. The lyrics also incorporate a sense of power dynamics, as the singer expresses her enjoyment in letting her partner take control while still maintaining her own agency.
The chorus serves as a sort of taunt, as the singer addresses an imaginary “tough guy” who is trying to keep up with her. She describes herself as the “bad type” who might even seduce his dad, and reminds him that she is, in fact, the bad guy. The repetition of this line further reinforces the idea of embracing an unconventional or unappealing identity.
Overall, the lyrics to “bad guy” celebrate the idea of rejecting societal expectations and embracing one’s own individuality, even if it does not conform to the norm.
