Disturbing Billie Eilish song ‘Bury a friend’

To put it plainly, the songs sung by Billie Eilish are depressing. The lyrics and music video have dark elements. She is extremely popular among teens with millions of followers on Spotify, Instagram, and one of the most-watched music videos on YouTube.

This sort of “dark imagery” began in the seventies, and fifty years later, the devil is in plain sight. Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Ellie Goulding, and Miley Cyrus became wildly popular when they included witchcraft and lewd behavior.

Billie outdid them all by endorsing demonic elements in her music at 16 years old. Satan no longer hides, and kids think it’s cool.

→ The worst kind of depressive state: Anhedonia

Satan no longer hides and kids think its cool

Shock value in music

The “shock value” in entertainment is no longer shocking. Psychologist Shoshana Dayanim studies the effects of media on kids. She said that when a young child sees satanic imagery, it sees it as a cartoon devil dressed for Halloween. Thus, continuous exposure can desensitize anyone.

A satanic foothold is in place, which may eventually lead to depressive thoughts and suicide, as the video suggests. The enemy also uses Mobile Apps, MSM, and movies to lure kids into a hopeless mindset and, if not, sexual immorality.

My daughter fought for Billie!

When I was doing this blog, my tween cried because she thought I was mean to Billie Eilish by exposing what’s obvious. She ignored my warning and continued to listen to Bille’s songs. A few months after, she watches her new video, “All the good girls go to hell.” She runs to me saying profusely how much she “hates” Billie now.

She said, “Dad, you should watch her video, she’s evil, she’s demonic, she even mocked Jesus, I don’t like her anymore.” I told her, “remember, I told you so?” Then she said, “I’ll pray for Billie.”

She said, I’ll pray for Billie

What changed her mind?

I never impose what music my kids want to listen to, it’s their choice. All I did was to pray that in time, may God reveal to her what she needs to know, and God did. Satan is a deceiver and he uses music as a tool.

‘Bury a friend’

[Chorus]

Step on the glass, staple your tongue.

Bury a friend, try to wake up.

Cannibal class, killing the sun.

Bury a friend, I wanna end me.

[Bridge]

For the debt, I owe, gotta sell my soul.

‘Cause I can’t say no, no, I can’t say no.

The song’s meaning

‘Bury a friend’ is literally from the perspective of the monster under the bed. “If you put yourself in that mindset, what is this creature doing or feeling?” Billie said. “The whole album clicked in my head… I immediately knew what it was going to be about. What the visuals were going to be, and everything in terms of how I wanted it to be perceived“.

“It just clicked in my head”

The poetry behind the song is desperation, even suicide with the lyrics “I wanna end me.” The music video itself is depressing. Its message is simple: Life is hopeless. Furthermore, the song’s bridge “gotta sell my soul” is a devilish declaration. Like Ellie Goulding, she admits she “kind of get possessed by the devil” when performing.

Where did all these ideas come from? The Bible is clear, in the last days, many will follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons (1 Timothy 4:1).

In 2017, Billie Eilish at 15 years old had 250,000 followers. The next year, it jumped to 6.3 Million. As of June 2020, her Instagram was moving towards a whopping 65 Million followers. This means her influence is a growing solid.

‘Bellyache’

Everything I do

The way I wear my noose

Like a necklace

I lost my mind; I don’t mind

Where’s my mind

The song Bellyache’s message

This song in 2019 had 200 Million views. During the COVID-19 lockdown, it surged to nearly 400 Million views as of May 2020. Imagine the message it sends to its young audience. Music blog Idolator referred to Bellyache as a “sinister synth-anthem that positively seethes fury and frustration. You don’t have to go far to the lyrics.

‘You should see me in a crown’

[Verse]

You should see me in a crown

I’m gonna run this nothing town

Watch me make ’em bow

One by one by one

What Billie’s song suggests

This song was released in August 2018. By June 2020, almost 200 Million have watched the video. There’s no beating around the bush in the imagery of “crown with a cross,” where Satan, using Billie, mocks Christ.

He tells the world he’s going to win this battle. No wonder Jesus tells us to pray for His second coming. The fall of Satan is imminent when Christ returns (Revelation), and he is desperate and scared as hell. The question is, what happens to atheists when they die?

What kids may see as harmless is a depiction of hopelessness and mockery of Jesus. Pray for Billie that she may see the truth. (A video clip image from Billie Eilish’ When the Party’s Over and You Should See me in a Crown.)

Depression and suicide rates are up

Each year, almost 5,000 young people, ages 15 to 24, kill themselves. What surrounds your child affects their mindset. The enemy prowls to devour us (1 Peter 5:8) and kids are easy targets. (John 10:10)

My teenage son listened to her for a while. He said, “I liked her, she had that smile before but now, she looks depressing.” Contrary to songs of hopelessness, we have hope in Jesus.

Pray for Billie

Depression and suicide are clear elements in her brand of music. I sincerely hope that Billie and the rest of those who listen to her will not fall into deep deception. I too have teenage daughters and I want them to be surrounded by music that helps them look forward to life with joy and happiness.

Contrary to Billie Eilish’s songs

of hopelessness, we have hope in Jesus
