Artist Info:

Billie Eilish is a young pop star, unique in her tunes. Billie usually works in tandem with her producer brother, Finneas, and most of the time, she sings about mental issues, love, and personal struggles. Eilish is very sincere in her lyrics and has a very markable style of voice. She has gone through body shaming and online trolls but has never been affected by it. What is common about Billie's songs are the meaningful, thought-provoking lyrics alongside her very ear-catching melodies.

Annotations and Meaning:

"Lunch": This is one of those most daring songs composed by the girl. The metaphor of this meal is about how she feels and the attraction. She unravels themes of identity, confidence, and self-discovery in the song. In chorus, Billie set up more playful imagery to convey her feelings. She compared her attraction towards a girl to having lunch, where someone could get not only the physical craving but also the inside craving as well. "Eating Up" means making oral s*x with a woman. In one interview, Billie said that this song helped her to get to know herself a little bit more. Either this song was written before or after something major, as she wrote different parts of it at different times. The lyrics show her realization and acceptance of feelings.

"I've been in love with girls for my entire life, but I simply didn't understand—until, last year, I realized I wanted my face in a v*gina."

It is filled with puns. Like "pullin' up a chair," meaning to invite somebody to have lunch with her, and at the very same time, getting ready for a special moment. When she says, "putting up my hair," it means getting ready for something important.

"Pullin' up a chair, puttin' up my hair"

The lyrics are imbued with metaphors and direct language, painting a picture of connection and attraction. Billie shows her deep feelings for the unnamed endorser. The outro is then harmonized by "eating lunch" as a metaphor to join the two elements of intense attraction and uncontrollable connection as a single unit.

Song Topics:

This song discusses self-identity, sexuality, and acceptance. It is full of food metaphors that mixes subjects going in too deep about feelings and se*ual connections.
