4. “LOVELY” By Billie Eilish ft. Khalid
[Pre-Chorus: Billie Eilish & Khalid]
Oh, I hope some day 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
[Verse 2: Khalid with Billie Eilish]
Walking out of time
Looking for a better place (Looking for
a better place)
Something's on my mind
Always in my head space
[Verse 1: Billie Eilish & 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
[Chorus: Billie Eilish with Khalid]
Isn't it lovely, all alone
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home

5. [Chorus: Billie Eilish with Khalid]
Isn't it lovely, all alone
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home
[Pre-Chorus: Billie Eilish & Khalid]
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
[Outro: Khalid, Billie Eilish, Khalid & Billie Eilish]
Woah, yeah
Yeah, ah
Woah, woah
Hello, welcome home

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. LYRICS 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.
