Lovely
Khalid Billie Eilish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought I found a way out (found)
But you never go away (never go away)
So I guess I gotta stay now
Oh, I hope some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Isn't it lovely, all alone?
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home
Walkin' out of time
Lookin' for a better place (lookin' for a better place)
Something's on my mind (mind)
Always in my head space
But I know some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear
Isn't it lovely, all alone?
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home
Whoa, yeah
Yeah, ah
Whoa, whoa
Hello, welcome home
The first two lines of the song, "Thought I found a way/Thought I found a way out," suggest that the singer has been trying to escape from something, possibly a difficult situation or a relationship. However, the next line, "But you never go away," implies that the person they are trying to escape from is still present in their life. The repetition of "never go away" emphasizes the inescapable nature of this person's impact on the singer's life. As a result, the singer concludes that they "gotta stay now," even though they had initially thought they had found a way out.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's desire to escape and to find a place to hide from their fears. They hope that someday they will be able to make it out of their current situation, even if it takes a long time. However, they feel trapped, unable to find a place to hide or to fight their fear. The repetition of "Isn't it lovely" throughout the chorus adds an ironic contrast to the desperate tone of the lyrics. The singer seems resigned to their situation, even as they long for escape.
The final verse of the song continues to describe the singer's search for a way out. They are "Walkin' out of town/Lookin' for a better place," but they still can't escape the thoughts and feelings that haunt them. The repetition of "Always in my head space" emphasizes the persistent nature of their struggles. Despite this, they still hold onto the hope that they will eventually find a way to escape.
Overall, "lovely" is a song about feeling trapped and wanting to escape from a difficult situation or relationship. The lyrics express a mix of desperation and resignation, as the singer longs for freedom but also feels resigned to their current circumstances. The use of repetition and contrasts throughout the song emphasizes the complexity of these feelings.
