In "Everybody Dies," Billie Eilish expresses her feelings surrounding death and the idea of one day losing the people she loves. Though the track has a somber subject matter, Eilish still manages to find comfort in the topic.
The artist sings, "You oughta know / That even when it's time, you might not wanna go / But it's okay to cry and it's alright to fold / But you are not alone," (via Genius). Eilish explains the inspiration behind "Everybody Dies" to Spotify.
She said, "This song is a big bummer. It's really about how everybody dies. You can't change it and it's a horrible thought. But it's also a comforting thought, I don't know. It gives me comfort to know I'm gonna die." The "Bad Guy" singer also noted that she's thought about death since a young age and learned to see the silver lining in it. She continued, "This song is really just about knowing that you only have so long to do what you want so just do it. Enjoy your life." Eilish also told Spotify that "Everybody Dies" is blue" and " smells like rain, for sure."
