7. The lyrics are about trying to beat or deal with depression or some other mental disorder. Verse 1 Billie Eilish and Khalid start off with their experiences on depression. Just when you thought you have gotten rid of depression, it sneaks back in. They may have tried countless things to fight it, but it still keeps creeping in. In the end Billie and Khalid, both resort to living with it. The lyric "Thought I found a way out" means that the person thought they found a way to beat it but it didn't work. Pre-chorus Billie and Khalid, both, are determined to cure themselves of these depressive feelings. Even if it takes a hundred years, they are not going to stop fight it. Chorus The first line of the chorus is a sarcastic remark. It’s as if ‘depression’ has become such a frequent thing, they would be quite accustomed to it by now. Something made out of glass is usually known to be very fragile. So, it must be quite bad having a softer heart and depressive thoughts at the same time. As a result, grows a mind that is stone-unbreakable and strong. Feeling like being torn apart to pieces from head-to-toe now feels like home to Billie Eilish . Billie talked about how she would suffere anxiety attacks quite frequently. LYRICS ANALYSIS

8. L YRICS ANALYSIS 2 Verse 2 In the second verse of “lovely,” Billie Eilish joins Khalid to drop some more experiences on depression. They talk about how they feels as if they are running out of time, without actually seeing any progression. Those thoughts on their heads always linger on and disturb them. Their search for a ‘better place’ seems far fetched now. Pre-chorus 2 In the second pre-chorus Billie and Khalid change one line from the previous pre-chorus, and it gives us a whole lot of hope. Rather than saying “Oh, I hope some day I’ll make it out of here,” in this second pre-chorus, the singers say “But I know someday I’ll make it out of here.” So at least the song ends on a more positive note than the rest of the song.
