bury a friend Lyrics » Billie Eilish
[Intro: Mehki Raine]
Billie
[Chorus: Billie Eilish]
What do you want from me? Why don’t you run from me?
What are you wondering? What do you know?
Why aren’t you scared of me? Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?
[Verse 1: Billie Eilish &
Mehki Raine
]
Come here
Say it, spit it out, what is it exactly
You’re payin’? Is the amount cleanin’ you out? Am I satisfactory?
Today, I’m thinkin’ about the things that are deadly
The way I’m drinkin’ you down
Like I wanna drown, like I wanna end me
[Refrain: Billie Eilish]
Step on the glass, staple your tongue (Ahh)
Bury a friend, try to wake up (Ah-ahh)
Cannibal class, killing the son (Ahh)
Bury a friend, I wanna end me
[Pre-Chorus: Billie Eilish]
I wanna end me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna… end me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna…

About Billie Eilish’s bury a friend from WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? (Japanese Import) (2019)
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
makes a few short appearances on the song and seems to be talking directly to Eilish.
Many fans believe an episode of sleep paralysis, which Billie shared on her
Instagram story
, was one of the inspirations for the song. In a reply to an Instagram comment, Eilish alluded to the validity of this theory.
On February 22, 2019, Billie posted a
video
in collaboration with YouTube Music, where she and her brother Finneas explain the meaning behind the song and the creation of it. When asked by
Radio Energy
for her favorites from the album, Eilish chose “bury a friend” as one of them.

FAQs About bury a friend
What did Billie Eilish say about “bury a friend”?
Verified Commentary
Billie Eilish
via
Umusic
When we made “bury a friend,” the whole album clicked in my head. I immediately knew what it was going to be about, what the visuals were going to be, and everything in terms of how I wanted it to be perceived. It inspired what the album is about. “bury a friend” is literally from the perspective of the monster under my bed. If you put yourself in that mindset, what is this creature doing or feeling? I also confess that I’m this monster, because I’m my own worst enemy. I might be the monster under your bed, too.
What has FINNEAS said about the song?
In an interview with
Pitchfork,
FINNEAS explained how they built the song:
I think the most pivotal creative decision we made when we were working
WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?
was the tonal structure of everything shifted from where we had been thus far into a kind of a more violent space. It’s all over the percussion in “bury a friend.” All of the super blown out, distorted vocals. The crazy alarm sound at the end of that song. They’re all sounds that are kind of jarring, kind of unpleasant, a little bit ominous.
