#307 of 366: What Was I Made For?, Billie Eilish

The more time goes on, the more music she releases, the more I’m in awe of how talented Billie is.

This song is so poignantly beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Barbie was also a dope film…but this song from the soundtrack really grounds it.

“I used to float, now I just fall down, I used to know, but I’m not sure now, what I was made for?, what was I made for?, taking a drive, I was an ideal, looked so alive, turns out I’m not real, just something you paid for, what was I made for?, hm, ’cause I, I, I don’t know how to feel, but I wanna try, I don’t know how to feel, but someday I might, someday I might, Mm, hm, ha-ah, hm, hm, hm, when did it all end, all the enjoyment?, I’m sad again, don’t tell me boyfriend, it’s not what he’s made for, what was I made for?”

Just floors me. A song that just personifies ache…but that ache let’s us know what pure joy feels like too in a way.

Can’t appreciate the light without the dark. I think at it’s core that’s what this song is about.

Be good. Do good. Love you.
