This song is basically about suicide. It is about how billie wanted to kill herself a few years ago.(i stepped off the golden). In her dream she was dead and nobody cared including her fans and family etc but when she woke up her brother (who is her co writer,producer and best friend) told her that as long as he is there noone can hurt her. Finneas refused to make a song about billie wanting to kill herself so they made the song about their strong relationship

This song was inspired by an actual dream the she had, as described. She was quite depressed and suicidal at that period of her life about a year and a half ago. Finneas and Billie had a fight as he did not want to produce a song about suicidal thoughts without a positive resolution. Her parents weighed in too. So they dropped the song and she rediscovered her initial vocal recording from the prior year. Thankfully, since early 2019 she improved greatly with some therapy and adjustments to her touring schedule, bring friends along, etc. So they added the verse about their love for each other and released another #1 hit, late last year.

oh my fucking god this isn’t true at all they’ve never ever been into a big fight... and billie parents are super supportive and loved the song since the beginning. there’s literally a whole best commercial on how this song was made. don’t go around telling people things that aren’t true

@@javierbennett5778 Read Finneas' interview. He said that he refused to develop her song if it was just about her suicidal dream, with no resolution. Billie locked herself in her room, and the parents also intervened and the song was dropped. Maybe this is what made her agree to therapy. The family worked to modify the tour schedule, let her bring friends along, etc. A year later she revisited the and Finneas added his contribution, mainly the chorus.

This song is about her killing herself, She said she had a dream and she jumped of the golden gate bridge and nobody cared hence the lyrics" i stepped of the golden nobody cried nobody even noticed saw them standing right there" But when she woke up her brother told her that its okay, the lyrics: " but when i wake up i see you with me, and you say as long as im here no one can hurt you, if i can change the way you see yourself, they dont deserve you." Basically she is saying that they will die together and that they will always be there for each other :)

Billie directed the video for this. I think this is about her going through a long depression, and her brother Finneas is always there for her--even when she's "underwater." She had real trouble with fame and social media.

I would suggest these: “idontwannabeyouanymore” the vertical video “When The Party’s Over” “Ocean Eyes” (her breakout) “You Should See Me In A Crown” there are two official vids for this one. Watch the vertical video. “Bury A Friend” And her live at the Brit Awards performance of her James Bond theme song called “No Time To Die”.

Geoff (Jeff?) Fun fact: U2 front man Bono wrote a fan letter to Billie & Finneas about this song, last month (May 2020): "Dear Billie (Finneas too), "My ears long for such empty spaces to wander... to sneak away from the density of digital surfaces with too much information... "I step inside your song and it's a black beauty, achingly awesomely vulnerable and terrifying, fearless and worrisome... but you are not worried by all that. You express it so you can own the feeling that nags. "I think of Carole King, I think of Roy Orbison. "But just like them, this never existed before you did. "Your fan, -Bono" ... kudos to Bono for having understood not only Billie's debilitating angst as expressed in the lyrics of this and some other of her songs, but also for having recognised that the remedy is in the act of creating her art: '... You express it so you can own the feeling that nags.' ... I've never read anyone else's commentary that 'gets' why Billie's personal songs of pain appeal to such a wide audience while at the same time are the very public catharsis by which she is fighting her demons.

Janjira Williams They can be. After losing a close family member and a friend to suicide I noticed something. Both had expressed some feelings of depression and anxiety, but no one knew the extent. Sadly they both died without fully expressing how much they were suffering, they suffered in silence. So for some, it’s the quiet that can be most dangerous.
