They want to stay together until they die, whether that&#8217;s decades from now or the next day. They also don&#8217;t want to live a single day without them\u2014they don&#8217;t want to be saved from death because their life means nothing without the person they love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I want you to stay<br>&#8216;Til I&#8217;m in the grave<br>&#8216;Til I rot away, dead and buried<br>&#8216;Til I&#8217;m in the casket you carry<br>If you go, I&#8217;m goin&#8217; too, uh<br>&#8216;Cause it was always you <br>And if I&#8217;m turnin&#8217; blue, please don&#8217;t save me<br>Nothin&#8217; left to lose without my baby<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I wanted it to feel, like, toxic and a little bit, like, love bomb-y,&#8221; Billie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The title and chorus are based on the idiom &#8220;birds of a feather flock together.&#8221; Billie uses it to suggest the two of them belong together until the very end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We wrote about the idea that you\u2019re going to die soon, and let\u2019s make it last,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know<br>I said I&#8217;d never think I wasn&#8217;t better alone<br>Can&#8217;t change the weather, might not be forever<br>But if it&#8217;s forever, it&#8217;s even better<\/em><br><em>And I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m cryin&#8217; for<br>I don&#8217;t think I could love you more<br>It might not be long, but baby, I<br>I&#8217;ll love you &#8217;til the day that I die<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second verse, Billie sings about wanting the person she&#8217;s in love with to see themselves the way she sees them, highlighting what it is that makes her love them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I want you to see, hm<br>How you look to me, hm<br>You wouldn&#8217;t believe if I told ya<br>You would keep the compliments I throw ya<br>But you&#8217;re so full of shit, uh<br>Tell me it&#8217;s a bit, oh<br>Say you don&#8217;t see it, your mind&#8217;s polluted<br>Say you wanna quit, don&#8217;t be stupid<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite Billie&#8217;s inspiration and explanations, she also wants listeners to interpret the song however they see fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith music, my whole thing is that it&#8217;s for the listener to decide what it means,\u201d she said. &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t matter what I wrote it about, what Finneas wrote it about, it really doesn&#8217;t matter, as long as you interpret however you need to.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Kevin Mazur\/Getty Images for Live Nation<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Birds of a Feather&#8221; was the second single from Billie Eilish&#8217;s third album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, released in 2024.
