Song meaning of Lovely by Billie Eilish and Khalid, and what it is about


The lyrics of the song, which has been called a chamber pop ballad, highlight Eilish and Khalid's joint attempt to overcome severe despair.


Eilish talked with Zane Lowe about working with Khalid and how the track was created: "One thing that I’ll say is that when we wrote this song, what was cool about it was that it wasn’t like we’re going to the studio and going to write a hit. He just came over and we hung out. Me and my brother hung out with Khalid in our house and it was literally this is us hanging out as friends and we ended up writing a song."


Song lyrics of Lovely by Billie Eilish and Khalid


Thought I found a way

Thought I found a way out (found)

But you never go away (never go away)

So I guess I gotta stay now

 

Oh, I hope someday I'll make it out of here

Even if it takes all night or a hundred years

Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near

Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear

 

Isn't it lovely? All alone

Heart made of glass, my mind of stone

Tear me to pieces, skin to bone

Hello, welcome home

 

Walking out of time

Looking for a better place (looking for a better place)

Something's on my mind

Always in my head space

 

But I know someday I'll make it out of here

Even if it takes all night or a hundred years

Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near

Wanna feel alive outside I can't fight my fear

 

Isn't it lovely? All alone

Heart made of glass, my mind of stone

Tear me to pieces, skin to bone

Hello. Welcome home

 

Whoa, yeah

Yeah, ah

Whoa, whoa

Hello, welcome home
