It's that you don't have to fit into anything, because we all die, eventually. But it's not like they don't give a fuck about people or love or taking care of yourself. And they say they don't give a fuck because of me, which is a feeling I can't even describe. When people hear that song, they're like, 'Oh, poor baby Billie, she's so hurt.' But really I was just a dickhead for a minute and the only way I could deal with it was to stop and put myself in that person's place.”īillie: “I love meeting these kids, they just don't give a fuck. I wrote the song '8' from the perspective of somebody who I hurt. It's more like making a character out of yourself. And it's not like how rappers lie in their music because they think it sounds dope. The album isn’t me saying, 'I dreamed that'-it’s the feeling.”īillie: “There's a lot of lying on purpose. Sometimes the thing from my dream happens the next day and it's so weird. I've always had really bad night terrors and sleep paralysis, and all my dreams are lucid, so I can control them-I know that I'm dreaming when I'm dreaming. All things that don't have an explanation. “This is my child,” she says, “and you get to hold it while it throws up on you.”īillie: “Every song on the album is something that happens when you’re asleep-sleep paralysis, night terrors, nightmares, lucid dreams. “It’s not that the whole album is a bad dream, it’s just… surreal.” With an endearingly off-kilter mix of teen angst and experimentalism, Billie Eilish is really the perfect star for 2019-and here is where her and FINNEAS' heads are at as they prepare for the next phase of her plan for pop domination. “I’m the monster under the bed, I’m my own worst enemy,” she told Beats 1 host Zane Lowe during an interview in Paris. “Not firsts like ‘Here’s the first song we made with this kind of beat,’ but firsts like Billie saying, ‘I feel in love for the first time.’ You have a million chances to make an album you're proud of, but to write the song about falling in love for the first time? You only get one shot at that.”īillie, who is both beleaguered and fascinated by night terrors and sleep paralysis, has a complicated relationship with her subconscious. Sinister dance beats unfold into chattering dialogue from The Office on “my strange addiction,” and whispering vocals are laid over deliberately blown-out bass on “xanny.” “There are a lot of firsts,” says FINNEAS. Now 17, the Los Angeles native-who was homeschooled along with her brother and co-writer, Finneas O’Connell-presents her much-anticipated debut album, a melancholy investigation of all the dark and mysterious spaces that linger in the back of our minds. Beginning with the haunting alt-pop smash “Ocean Eyes” in 2016, Billie Eilish made it clear she was a new kind of pop star-an overtly awkward introvert who favors chilling melodies, moody beats, creepy videos, and a teasing crudeness à la Tyler, The Creator.
