After the overwhelming success it had ‘Birds of a Feather’ on social networks and music streaming platforms since Billie Eilish released her third studio album, ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’, fans were eager for the 22-year-old American singer to give it its place and turn it into a single.
Many months later, he finally granted their wish with the release of the official video of his acclaimed song, but to understand the hidden message in the almost four minutes of the clip, it is necessary to review the lyrics and the meaning that he has explained on so many occasions together with his brother and favorite colleague, Finneas O’Connell.
Lyrics to ‘Birds of a Feather’ by Billie Eilish
I want you to stay
‘Til I’m in the g
‘Til I rot away, dead and buried
‘Til I’m in the casket you carry
If you go, I’m going too, uh
‘Cause it was always you, alright
And if I’m turning blue, please don’t save me
Nothing left to lose without my baby
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know
I said I’d never think I wasn’t better alone
Can’t change the weather, might not be forever
But if it’s forever, it’s even better
And I don’t know what I’m crying for
I don’t think I could love you more
It might not be long, but baby, I
I’ll love you ‘til the day that I die
‘Til the day that I die
‘Til the light leaves my eyes
‘Til the day that I die
I want you to see, hm
How do you look at me, hm
You wouldn’t believe if I told ya’
You would keep the compliments I throw ya’
But you’re so full of shit, uh
Tell me it’s a bit, oh
Say you don’t see it, your mind’s polluted
Say you wanna quit, don’t be stupid
And I don’t know what I’m crying for
I don’t think I could love you more
Might not be long, but baby, I
Don’t wanna say goodbye
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know (‘til the day that I die)
I said I’d never think I wasn’t better alone (‘til the light leaves my eyes)
Can’t change the weather, might not be forever (‘til the day that I die)
But if it’s forever, it’s even better
