If Billie Eilish Album is about love and honesty of a strong relationship, then why do so many of Billie Eilish’s songs resonate with feelings of emotional suppression and unspoken words?

# data[].attributes.body
Each song throughout the album is a step along this journey and either is parallel to or in direct reference to, the stages of the relationship and her feelings throughout. She leverages several metaphors and thematic imagery that are mentioned multiple times throughout the album.

On its surface, SKINNY is about her fans, the public, and the media and their lack of awareness of her actual mental state (they think skinny = happy). In addition, I view this as her introducing the narrative. This is Billie reflecting on the relationship and her experiences and setting up the story to "feed the hungry internet"

Lunch is fun, flirty, and the explicit first step in the relationship. It's Billie and her love interest kicking things off intense and full of passion. In the broader context of the album it is the "honeymoon" phase, full of heightened emotions and fun

CHIHIRO is Billie dealing with some of the likely obvious red flags she noticed immediately as things become more serious. It's Billie trying to reconcile the "fling" that's occurring and it being a potentially serious relationship that she needs to emotionally invest in.

Billie is now happy to "stay in the cage" with the person, calling back to the Bird/Cage/Trap theme. Birds of a feather sticking together.

How Eilish vocal delivery, whispery tones, and minimalist production evoke deep emotions.

At a certain part of the video, you see the emotional depth that Billie expresses in her singing during a part of her line singing "Did I cross a line".

This is a pivot point on the album. Its when Billie "snaps out of it" so to speak and realizes how much she is putting in, but how little she is getting out. She expresses this in many different ways, begging for passion and waiting for something to change.

This is about her stalkers and how conniving it is however I do think it's connected to the narrative. She mentions trying to save the person which is a theme that's brought up previously and finalized again later. The way I interpreted this song in the narrative is that this is her obsessing over the relationship the other person moved onto in L'AMOUR DE MA VIE. She's stalking them trying to figure out what she was missing and how she could've made it work. Obsessing the possibilities.

This is Billie desperately trying to forget and move on, but her unconscious dreams won't allow her to. This is a reflection on many dream sequences Billie has about the relationship. She is not over it. She's on tour overseas now but is still obsessed with the relationship it is "underneath all of her beliefs".

I feel like this song is YIN to BIRDS OF A FEATHER YANG. She admits that all these feelings were lies because she knew there were problems from the beginning. She's over all of the excuses the person was giving for not committing, opening up, etc.

How recurring symbols and lyrical are used to build a cohesive narrative.

It’s explore the thematic exploration of unspoken tensions and suppressed emotions in relationships.

Blue closes things off and explicitly connects all of the major themes in the album. She makes direct references to several other songs "Birds of a Feather", Told You a Lie Desole (L'amour de ma vie), don't Know What's in Store / Open the Door (CHIHIRO), In The Back of My Mind (WILDFLOWER) I'm still overseas (BITTERSUITE), a bird in a cage (SKINNY). This is her reflecting, accepting, and trying to get over it but having difficulty.
