Don’t Smile At Me
The album overall holds a sense that Billie is very mature for her age and that she knows who she is, and doesn’t let others boss her around. She is putting her own boldness on our idea of pop and is taking the industry by storm.
“I hate smiling. It makes me feel weak and powerless and small.”

The lyrics are a huge part of what Eilish is trying to get us to understand. Some of her lyrics seem to be cliche in a way, but she uses the originality of her voice to make it work.
WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?
Billie, who is both beleaguered and fascinated by night terrors and sleep paralysis, has a complicated relationship with her subconscious. “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. “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. “This is my child,” she says, “and you get to hold it while it throws up on you.”
“Every song on the album is something that happens when you’re asleep—sleep paralysis, night terrors, nightmares, lucid dreams. All things that don’t have an explanation. Absolutely nobody knows. 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. Sometimes the thing from my dream happens the next day and it’s so weird. The album isn’t me saying, ‘I dreamed that’—it’s the feeling.”
