Billie Eilish: Lovely Meaning
Song Released: 2018

Lovely Lyrics
Thought I found a way

But you never go away (never go away)
So I guess I gotta stay now
[Pre-Chorus: Billie Eilish & Khalid]
Oh, I hope some day I'll make it out of...

#1 top rated interpretation:I think this song is about someone who is stuck in a place/feeling/experience he doesnt want to be in. he doesnt tell anybody anything; he tells to himself he will get through it.
but in the chorus "heart made of glass"- he knows he'll break easily. "mind of stone" he can get the idea in his mind but he'll still break in the heart.
in general- this horrible feeling when you think you're all alone dealing with something, that ur the only one there for you- and there's no one else out there who will understand.
I feel like thats why they put it in 13RW. cause it represents Hannah's feelings so much.
if anyone feels like that too- please dont keep it all inside.
tell someone. choose to tell someone. because I promise you're not alone in this world, even if sometimes you feel like that... thats not true because people love you and care about you. -

#2 top rated interpretation:I strongly believe that this song is about having anxiety (or depression).
“Thought I found a way out, but you never go away” meaning the anxiety never goes away. Medicines aren’t strong enough, or you were doing well but had another panic attack or whatsoever.
“Wanna feel alive outside, I can’t fight my fear” I want to go out and live a normal easy life, worry free, outside of this cage I’m trapped in where the walls are closing on on me constantly. -

#3 top rated interpretation:This song is definitely about depression, and how you have demons impossible to get away from, and being trapped in the cold. But it also is about the human tendency to get addicted to one's own sadness, caving in to one's darkest emotions with "i guess i gotta stay" and being addicted to the depression, calling it "lovely. The statement is both extremely serious but also very sarcastic, making the song deeply twisted in a way we can all relate to.
-
My interpretation is that the song is narrated by a woman who is domestically abused and is talking about the mental pain that she feels. She tries to escape but knows that she’ll always return home.

I think this song is about being mentally trapped and continuous anxiety. The chourus explains how they are trapped and scared and hope to escape this trap one day. This is also refering to lonliness. it proboally is explaining how they are trapped and no one will come rescue. this shows lonlieness. "tear me to peices skin the bone" is explaining how strong shes trying to be and how they might feel tourtured in this trap. "heart made of glass my mind of stone" refers to how they have been tryng to cover up there vunerability but in the inside are very vunerable. mind of stone explains that they may be vunerable but they have become wiser in this trap and how this trap cannot destroy their mind... yet.

I think it's about Depression
"Isn't it lovely all alone
Heart me to pieces skin to toe
Tear me pieces skin to bone
Hello welcome, welcome home."
I think the Lyrics are saying she wants to die because she's suffering from some KIND of depression -
I believe the song is about being with a manipulative person, quote the words "Thought I found a way out, but you never go away." I think the victim of this manipulative person found a way out, by reaching out to their friends about it, but the manipulative person always defends themselves, Making them stay together. So they just "So I guess I gotta stay now." "Oh I hope someday I'll make it out of here" Expresses to me that they yearn to end the relationship, even if it takes all night or a hundred years. "Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near" Shows that they want to hide from said person, but then, they defended themselves, their friends believe them, so they can't get out of such a nightmare.
-
I think personally this is about the struggles of being alone and wanting to feel like you can't get across the message you want to get across and you can't seem to be hears
-
"Isn't it lovely, all alone" to me is about acceptance that you're better off alone "heart made of glass" is about an empathic heart that breaks for everyone's pain and suffering, so they feel the heaviness of it, always. "Mind of stone" is about perserverance, despite all this pain they feel, they haven't given up on life. "Tear me to pieces, skin and bones, hello welcome home" is the familar feeling of pain, since you've had it all your life, familiarity is home but also, they want to suffer in your place, they want to take your pain away unto themselves.
-
its about anxiety from my perspective, it really seems like you just cant get away from that depression or stress. you keep trying but get so addicted that it feels nice.
-
This song could mean a abusive relationship or family members that abuse/ sexually harass the child, and how they long to escape. “Welcome home” Can imply the child died or committed suicide because they couldn’t take it anymore, the the family abused them / sexually harassed them to the point their body gave up, and the child died. The abusive relationship can infer that the person’s boyfriend/girlfriend either uses them or outright abuses them, and that “Welcome home” may mean they finally escaped from the abusive person.
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
This song is about a longing to be alone because it talks about the cruelty in the world and how nice to be away from it
-
I think that the persons heart very fragile, but their mind isn’t. (It’s strong.) they want to get out of the place the are stuck in.
-
I think this is about the fear of abandonment/left alone "I can't fight my fear" and "Isn't it lovely, all alone?" are the quotes that made me think so.
and "heart made of glass" is a metaphor for a fragile heart (obviously-) so this also has something to do wit emotional problems. and "My mind of stone" I think it means when people have a hard head. When someone tell them to be careful, the person would either shrug it off and/or deny it, which usually ends up badly. -
My opinion is that they are with someone that they can't leave. The person they are with makes them feel this sadness, depression, but they fear the unknown. People stay in relationships forever even though they aren't happy.

I think its an emotion which you hate, which limits you but at the same time its a lovely feeling because its a familiar feeling "welcome home". And even though you put your mind to it, your heart is fragile and you just can't do it. Like leaving someone you love even though you are in an abusive relationship for example.
