BITTERSUITE by Billie Eilish

Artist: Billie Eilish

Album: Hit Me Hard and Soft

Genre: Pop

Length: 4:58

“BITTERSUITE” is the ninth track of Billie Eilish’s third studio album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT. The title is a play on the world “bittersweet,“ converting the suffix “sweet” into the homophonic “suite”. Seeming as if it’s a minor change, the conversion of “sweet” compels the idea that Eilish has been left bitter in a hotel suite on her own with no tinge of pleasure. With the song being sectioned into parts, this is reminiscent of a musical suite, which features a group of self-contained instrume...

BITTERSUITE lyrics

I can't fall in love with you
I've been overseas
I've been havin' dreams
You were in the foyer
I was on my knees
Outside of my body
Watchin' from above
I see the way you want me
I wanna be the one, oh
But I gotta be careful
Gotta watch what I say
God, I hope it all goes away
'Cause I can't fall in love with you
No matter how bad that I want to
Mm
Ah-oh, uh, uh
Ah-oh, uh, uh
Mm
I don't need to breathe when you look at me, all I see is green
And I think that we're in between everything I've seen
In my dream, have it once a week, can't land on my feet
Can't sleep, have you underneath all of my beliefs
Keep it brief
I'll wait in the suite
Keep me off my feet, mm
You seem so paranoid
I'm looking at the boys
I've never filled the void
Out of spite
You seem so paralyzed
It's so romanticized
If this is how I die
That's alright
I've been overseas
I don't need to breathe when you look at me, all I see is green
And I think that we're in between everything I've seen
In my dream, have it once a week, can't land on my feet
And I've been overseas (can't sleep)
Have you underneath all of my beliefs
Keep it brief (so brief)
I'll see you in the suite (in the suite)
We can be discrete (ah)
But I've been overseas
And I've been havin' dreams
L'amour de ma vie
Love so bittersweet, mm
Open up the door for me
For me
'Cause I'm still on my knees
I'm stayin' off my feet
I just want you to touch me
Come on
I know it seems to be the beginning
Listen up, hm
I want you to keep on doing it
It's something I don't know
I've never paid this much attention to you
I know
