Therefore I Am – Billie Eilish

‘Therefore I Am‘ is a powerful declaration of self-assertiveness and authenticity. The song is a clear message of self-affirmation and disdain towards those who try to take advantage of her image or associate with her for their own benefit. Eilish, vegan since she was 12, shows her contempt for those who judge and criticize her.

Interpretation:

• «I’m not your friend or anything / I think, therefore, I am« is like a personal mantra repeated as the affirmation of her identity and her rejection to be underestimated or manipulated.
• «Top of the world, but your world isn’t real / Your world’s an ideal« Billie criticizes the falsehood of the lifestyle of some celebrities , the hypersexualization of bodies, which in fact is very far from real lives.
• «I don’t want press to put your name next to mine« Billie considers her relationship with fame and the media, expressing her desire to stay out of the power games and superficiality of the entertainment industry.
