Much of the album has queer vibes, even when declining to reference genders. But a couple songs make it perfectly clear that Eilish is considering the ladies in a new light these days.
Track 2, titled "LUNCH," sees the singer fantasizing about all the gifts she would buy a girl she has her eye on. And she does not hold back with the lyrics whatsoever: "I could eat that girl for lunch / Yeah, she dances on my tongue / Tastes like she might be the one / And I could never get enough."
"That song was actually part of what helped me become who I am, to be real," Eilish told Rolling Stone in an interview published last month. "I wrote some of it before even doing anything with a girl, and then wrote the rest after. I’ve been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just didn’t understand — until, last year, I realized I wanted my face in a vagina."
Later on in the album, Eilish sings about obsessing over a woman she saw "on the screens" and "in my dreams" in "THE DINER."
"Bet I could change your life," she sings. "You could be my wife / Could get into a fight / I'll say, 'You're right' / And you'll kiss me goodnight."
This track takes a decidedly darker turner, with her breaking into the woman's home while she's away and warning that if something happens to a guy she spotted with the object of her affection, "you can bet that it was me."
But hey, you know what they say — be gay, do crime.
