Billie Eilish : Ilomilo

 Billie Eilish : Ilomilo(Visualizer) 

“ilomilo” references a 2010 puzzle game where the player must unite “Ilo” and “Milo,” small round characters on separate ends of the level who require teamwork to meet at the end.
Finneas confirmed this when he replied to a fan’s Instagram story.
The track’s title is pronounced “ee-low-mee-low.”

As WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? is based on fears, Billie confirmed to a fan on Instagram that “ilomilo” is about the fear of separation.

According to Billie on her featured episode of First We Feast’s Hot Ones:

…The whole idea is the game, it’s just like, losing the person you love and then finding them again.

In an interview with Radio Energy, Eilish listed “ilomilo” as “—one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written in my life.”

The beat of the song was teased at the end of “bury a friend.”

The song’s Spotify artwork was done by @junkie.cowboy on Instagram

 Lyrics :

It's not true
Tell me I've been lied to
Cryin' isn't like you
Ooh
What the hell did I do?
Never been the type to
Let someone see right through
Ooh
Maybe won't you take it back?
Say you were tryna make me laugh
And nothin' has to change today
You didn't mean to say, "I love you"
I love you and I don't want to
Ooh
Up all night on another red eye
I wish we never learned to fly
I
Maybe we should just try
To tell ourselves a good lie
I didn't mean to make you cry
I
Maybe won't you take it back?
Say you were tryna make me laugh
And nothin' has to change today
You didn't mean to say, "I love you"
I love you and I don't want to
Ooh
The smile that you gave me
Even when you felt like dyin'
We fall apart as it gets dark
I'm in your arms in Central Park
There's nothin' you could do or say
I can't escape the way I love you
I don't want to, but I love you
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Billie Eillish - Bury a Friend According to a January 2019  Alternate Press  article, “bury a friend” is written from the perspective of a monster under Billie Eilish’s bed. The track details a confusing relationship with this ‘entity’ and ambiguously sets her up to be the monster itself. A snippet of “bury a friend” was teased by Eilish on her  Instagram page , as well as on  Twitter  and  YouTube , on January 28, 2019. The visual depicts Billie’s face being grabbed by several gloved hands that reach in from off screen, until the closing lyrics and album title are displayed. She posted  on Instagram  the following day, announcing her debut album would be titled  WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? The song itself features a Prismizer effect, which manipulates pitch and frequency characteristics to achieve a choral phase, much like Eilish’s other January release, “WHEN I WAS OLDER.” Her friend Mehki Raine ma...

Billie Eillish : bellyache  In “bellyache,” Billie tells a fictional story about murder from the perspective of a psychopath. The song focuses on themes of guilt, as revealed by Billie in an interview with  Vice: ‘Bellyache’ is about the concept of guilt, when you do things in the moment because you feel so strongly about them. In the end you’re left with the decision you made. That line—"I thought that I’d feel better, but now I gotta bellyache"—is about how you kinda know that you’re the worst but you don’t care. It’s about a psychopath who regrets being a psychopath but doesn’t really care. Billie later revealed that the main inspiration for the song was Tyler the Creator’s “Garbage:” Garbage was one of the biggest inspirations for writing my song, “bellyache.” It’s more graphic than my song, it’s more literal and “I’m killing people and putting them in my basement” kind of song.…I’m a huge fan of Tyler, he’s been my biggest inspiration ever.
