About Bury a Friend

"Bury a Friend" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish. It was released as the third single from her debut studio album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? on January 30, 2019, and later serviced to American alternative radio on February 19, 2019 by Darkroom and Interscope Records. Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell co-wrote "Bury a Friend", with the latter producing it. The song was described as synth-pop and electronica in press reviews, for which hip hop beats, percussion and a synthesizer provide minimalist instrumentation. During the dark and violent lyrics, Eilish sings from the perspective of a monster under someone's bed. Her vocals are subtle and treated with layers of vocal effects. Upon its release, "Bury a Friend" generally received positive reviews from music critics, several of whom praised its dark nature and lyrics. It was also likened to the music of Marilyn Manson, Lorde and Kanye West. "Bury a Friend" attained commercial success, reaching number one in Sweden and number six in the UK. It further peaked within the top 10 in several countries, such as New Zealand, Canada and Australia. Music Canada awarded it a triple platinum certification, among others. more »

What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me?
What are you wondering? What do you know?
Why aren't you scared of me? Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

Come here
Say it, spit it out, what is it exactly
You're payin'? Is the amount cleanin' you out, am I satisfactory?
Today, I'm thinkin' about the things that are deadly
The way I'm drinkin' you down
Like I wanna drown, like I wanna end me

Step on the glass, staple your tongue (ahh)
Bury a friend, try to wake up (ah ahh)
Cannibal class, killing the son (ahh)
Bury a friend, I wanna end me

I wanna end me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna end me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna

What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me?
What are you wondering? What do you know?
Why aren't you scared of me? Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

Listen
Keep you in the dark, what had you expected?
Me to make you my art and make you a star
And get you connected?
I'll meet you in the park, I'll be calm and collected
But we knew right from the start that you'd fall apart
'Cause I'm too expensive
Your talk'll be somethin' that shouldn't be said out loud
Honestly, I thought that I would be dead by now (Wow)
Calling security, keepin' my head held down
Bury the hatchet or bury your friend right now

For the debt I owe, gotta sell my soul
'Cause I can't say no, no, I can't say no
Then my limbs all froze and my eyes won't close
And I can't say no, I can't say no
Careful

Step on the glass, staple your tongue (ahh)
Bury a friend, try to wake up (ah ahh)
Cannibal class, killing the son (ahh)
Bury a friend, I wanna end me

I wanna end me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna end me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna

What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me?
What are you wondering? What do you know?
Why aren't you scared of me? Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?
