POISON! Reaction to Billie Eilish - When The Party's Over

[@johna6352]

I've always felt that the black liquid she drinks represents her taking in all the toxicity of the relationship, and how it ultimately destroys her as it gets too much and leaks out in a flood...kind of representing that there's only so much a person can take before they break.

[@TwoOldDudes]

Cool thinking.

[@ZoeF.O]

@@TwoOldDudes That's exactly how she was explaining the meaning of it. Doesn't matter that Finneas has written that one. She made a music video. Her idea, they are both so talented and advanced. She is also very fast learner, because that's what she loves her whole life, and she is crazy creative.

[@papabird121]

Bingo

[@vampadonut]

That's exactly was I was thinking about .

[@louisejohnson6057]

The line "Call Me Friend, But Hold Me Closer" is a very clever, I thought, turn of the phrase "Keep Your Friends Close, And Your Enemies Closer". I absolutely love that lyric!

[@ZoeF.O]

*call me friend but KEEP me closer"

[@tlh2871]

this song is one of a few that were written by just finneas so it’s not about her ex but it’s so relatable that you can definitely apply it to that situation. if you watch her documentary you see how she came up with the idea for this video and a behind the scenes look of them making it.

[@_maybe.idk_653]

"this song signifies the feeling of the end, like how you feel when the party's over. it's about miscommunication with someone you care about when you know it's about to end." - Billie Eilish

[@phetrusrodrigues8710]

You have to do Idontwannabeyouanymore by Billie next. The official music video

[@peperino25]

Yes : (vertical video)

[@pats8219]

My favorite

[@vp4744]

No this is not the same relationship as the one in Happier than ever. This was written entirely by her brother Finneas and she was hoping he'd ask her to sing it, which he eventually did. But the video was all her's. There's a home movie they show in her documentary in which she's directing her mother sitting in a chair with an empty glass in their backyard. In the background you can see her father picking up the dog poop.

[@nomadine85]

One of my favourite things about this song is the line “I could lie and say I like it like that, like it like that” which to me is a lot like the line she sings in “bellyache” that goes “I lost my mind I don't mind, Where's my mind?”. Using the same words in their different meanings within the same line sets off a firecracker of dopamine in my brain. (I could also have phrased that sentence “is LIKE dopamine in my MIND. But I didn’t.)

[@vp4744]

yes, the melody and the meaning twist and turn to give that unexpected punch

[@lucascordeiro9082]

She loves doing that, is a meaning punch in ur face , she does it in TV and 30th

[@stefanfrankel8157]

The image of the black tears is from a fan drawing given to her in Montreal. See the CBC video of an interview she did for the show, Q.

[@casualcanadiann]

4:30 "call me friend but keep me closer" like "keep your friends close and your enemies closer"

[@bigsky-s6r]

Exactly. She's basically saying, you call me "friend" but you treat me like an enemy.

[@HwangPasta]

I definitely recommend Billie and Finneas performing the 007 theme they wrote called "No Time to Die" (the Live from the Tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon version - which is live w/o random crowds cheering). IMPECCABLE and shows a lot of growth in Billie's voice.

[@zantokki]

yes!!

[@kelseydeboer2362]

Every time I see that video, I cry. Idk what it is.

[@sadwitchcustoms8098]

also recommend watching the billie documentary, super fascinating seeing an insight into her creative process and understanding her personal pain through her music :)

[@Asterisk94]

I think this song is about Billie being very into someone, and being willing to do anything for them but they don't reciprocate and they keep stringing her along and its damaging her. But she's so into them that she can't leave and will keep allowing them to mistreat her, hence the "let me let you go".

[@jcompton8507]

For me, it sounds like the relationship is mutually toxic - that they're both dragging each other down in different ways. (For some reason, I always interpreted it as he parties too much, and she's too depressed to be that social and leaves social engagements earlier than him. That they're just in two very different places.)

[@Asterisk94]

@@jcompton8507 i like this interpretation. Part of what I love about this song and her music in general is that i see so many people say so many interesting things about what they mean. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

[@maloriep.c.5833]

I think the lyrics definitely say “I could lie, say I like it like that” so yes dealing with a really toxic relationship. Maybe one that one didn’t want to commit but would string along and hurt the other by keeping them tied up.

[@donnas.1075]

I just started listening to Billie the end of last year. I can't believe what I've been missing. I just LOVE her and her & Finneas' music. She strikes a chord with me...the music just does something to my brain. And I absolutely love her personality. I'm glad to see more "older" people like myself who are her fans. My hubby thinks I'm odd for liking her and her music. 🤔🤨😄

[@ZoeF.O]

You're definitely not odd for loving her AND her personality - she is very mature and absolutely very advanced for her age. You can see she spent her whole life with her older brother and parents, they are definitely the closest family that I have ever had a chance to see. The documentary was portrayed their tight bond and dynamics between all of them so great and charming. So, not Odd, but Donna. :)

[@donnas.1075]

@@ZoeF.O thank you for that. 💖 I've watched a couple of interviews and they do seem like an extremely close family. I've heard of the documentary....seems very interesting. I hope to be able to see it someday.

[@vondred]

She’s talking about people dying The party is a metaphor for life

[@jebalifyouplz]

What I love about this song is you can apply it to a relationship with yourself as well. Or with an addiction or mental illness. Or yes, a toxic relationship with another person. The visuals are so impactful... Hits hella hard.

[@0123Dayan]

“Call me “friend” but keep me closer” what should you keep closer than your friends? Your enemies. “Call me “friend”, but I’m your enemy”

[@tamaraross7466]

I always took it to mean keep your friends close and your enemies closer when she said call me friend but keep me closer.

[@Rforriot27]

Majority of her songs are about he who should not be named. And I’m here for it!

[@McGrey450]

KZbin knew what I needed this morning and it’s exactly 11:11 right now in 🇯🇲

[@jenniferhof9448]

This video was a concept that Billie came up with and had her mom sit in the spot where Billie is in the video so she could record the whole thing to show the producer. There's a behind the scenes video also that shows how she did the black liquid going out of her eyes. She always does things practically and it's just awesome!

[@lucascordeiro9082]

Soo cool!! Isnt?

[@willirifan5668]

You two dudes are really cool. And yes! The lyrics said "I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that" which probably means Billie just kept quiet all the time during the toxic relationship, just thinking about how to leave the relationship using her heart.

[@not1090]

i think you really nailed the concept behind this song. I didn't fully understand the lyrics along with the visuals before watching this reaction, so thank you for that.

[@Stinger_tbx]

Call me friend but keep me closer is a play on the phrase "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer"

[@pats8219]

The line is “Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own; I could lie and say I like it like that”. To me it says she come home alone from the party and is alone but she doesn’t like it ( being alone) but she knows it’s better than the toxic relationship. Just my take on that line.

[@neldablanco1663]

So glad our tears are clear, can you imagine how awful it would be if we could see tears!😪

[@benr3799]

I’ve been loving these “cold opens” you’ve been doing. They’re just getting better and better, maybe it’s awkward now but it’s the perfect amount of awkward, much respect hahaha. We need some light laughs in this world. Also, all praise to Billie, I’m so glad you guys have done a few (or maybe just one?) of her songs. A pop genius. Also spread the love to Finneas too, her brother and producer, they’re both incredible talents. Homeschool gang!

[@attractivezombie1959]

More Billie wiling reactions!!! “All the good girls go to hell” and “bellyache” are so good

[@MisterDarkfall]

I'm REPEATEDLY amazing by Billie and her brother. I'm late too the party (no pun intended). But I'm in my forties, so this isn't anywhere close to my sphere, really. But since I discovered her, I can't seem to get enough. Awesome reaction guys!

[@cattinkerbell4946]

ART dudes.

[@lilianecaroline5]

To me it's like she's pretending to enjoy something, or just "taking it" because she hast to, out of obligation maybe and then everything she takes just "overflows" at some point (tears) It could mean a lot of things, like verbal abuse, or in a sexual way too, when she says "I could lie and say, I like it like that"

[@AmyReneeDavis-Winters0627]

Great choice. Her voice is calming in some of her songs. So beautiful. Korn - Freak on a Leash **MGK's version of Rhianna's - Love on the Brain

[@katarina6432]

I feel like its about loving someone who doesn't want to be with her, but they keep her around for whatever reason You know? "Quiet when I'm coming home, and I'm all alone" like even though she's sorta living her dream romance, she still has to go home alone

[@tildaSs]

I love when you react to music videos with a message so I would appreciate more of those🤍 An example of a really good one is “For a Better Day” by the Swedish dj avicii who unfortunately isn’t with us anymore but deserves to be remembered❤️🇸🇪

[@LAVISHING]

Thanks! Wrote this with her. Basically got into a relationship with her and it ended. I was basically saying that she could call me when the party’s over for her music stuff. I’ll see her in person next year in Milwaukee July 19, 2023!

[@rosalynrose3747]

I was a mistress to a married musician and this song is so accurate to our relationship.

[@KAT-xs7lj]

I believe Finneas wrote this song based on his relationship and thought it was better for Billie to sing than himself. Billie wrote Happier than Ever based on relationship reflected in The World’s a Little Blurry documentary. The guy named Q was class A jerk. So two different relationships.

[@sadwitchcustoms8098]

you guys have to do the crown video by billie! you'll love that one

Billie would be a completely different artist without her brother. Half of her sound and her vibe comes from him. She gets the credit for the visuals, though 😎

Hey Rai! They're vintage bifocals. No name on them other than "Made in Taiwan"😂 But I've been looking at getting a backup pair just in case.

can you watch god is a women by ariana grande

[@pernilleaug]

React to her song and musicvideo «Male Fantasy»

[@ChrisTomatoPie]

To me this song is too relateable, it hits different. I felt so insanely sad listening to this, but repeated over and over to get a better grasp what exactly she sings about and why it causes such strong emotional reaction for me. To me its like toxicity in relationships that are not intentional. You love each other but can´t make it work, no reflection, no conversation, no nothing. Its so sad. Behaviours in relationships can form out of trauma, depression f.e. and parts of them you are just not able to change (at least thats true for me). Gettinga grasp of this toxicity and wanting to leave, but the toxicity already having consumed you (pouring out all over in the end).

[@r.savage8921]

Please react to "Boys Don't Cry" by Anitta! She just recently released this song to break into the US as a pop star. Another suggestion I'd make is "she's all I wanna be" by Tate McRae.
