I’m really different from a lot of people, and I kind of try to be. I don’t like to follow the rules at all. […] If somebody starts wearing something a certain way, I’ll wear the complete opposite of that. I’ve always worn what I wanted to and always said what I wanted to say. I’m super, super out there. […] I like to be remembered, so I like to look memorable. I think I’ve proved to people that I’m more important than they think. […] I’m kind of intimidating, so people will listen up. I’m kind of scary. A lot of people are just terrified of me.
I have a resting bitch face.
LYRICS
Billie Eilish talked about specific lyrics of her two songs “COPYCAT” and “idonwannabeyouanymore” on GENIUS
The opening song of album ‘Don’t smile at me’ , “COPYCAT” is a response to someone trying to copy her lifestyle as well as her mannerisms. There is a strong base beat throughout the song and her voice is truly mesmerizing with a sense of authority. Her lyrics really give a sense that she is on top.
“Call me calloused, call me cold
You’re italic, I’m in bold
Call me cocky, watch your tone
You better love me, ’cause you’re just a clone”
Second track gives us a new side to the Eilish and shows her versatility as a singer and as an artist. This song is much slower than popular song “COPYCAT” and “watch.” It has a deeper more emotional feel.
“If teardrops could be bottled
There’d be swimming pools filled by models
Told a tight dress is what makes you a whore
If “I love you” was a promise
Would you break it, if you’re honest
Tell the mirror what you know she’s heard before
I don’t wanna be you anymore”
“This song is from the perspective of me towards me.” -Billie
