The song Is about depression and suicidal thoughts. Billie dealt with both when she was younger. She also used to cut herself. Gladly she has gotten past all that and is now happy and older. She felt that making this song was a better way to deal with the feelings she had and the suicidal thoughts. It was better to write a song about it then to actually go through with it. When she says “there’s no way out, but down”, she’s talking about jumping off the roof. In the documentary about Billie, her mother talks to her about the song as her and Finneas are making it. She says to Billie “are you seriously implying that you’d jump off the roof?” - and Billie says yes. And she says that this is her way of dealing with it..it’s better to have said it then to actually do it.
Great reaction. It says it all in the first lines of this song. Too many people miss them which makes them take too long to understand the song. “Take me to the rooftop
I wanna see the world when I stop breathing
Turning blue”
As a 68 yr. old Billie Eilish fan, what "Lids" said before me is 100% right on - I was actually frustrated with your veering off course, and I couldn't see how you didn't make a connection between "Take me to the roof top" and "there's no way out but down" - it was/is about suicide. In Germany [Berlin, I think] Billie contemplated jumping out a hotel window, and someone had a sense she was in a bad place and connected with her. You might be interested in watching the documentary on Billie's road to winning 5 Grammys "The World's a Little Blurry" directed by R.J Cutler where she is writing this song and her Mom hears and says "are you really going to go that dark" and Billie says, "if I write this, I won't have to do it." The pain and sadness and depth of the song - I believe - were missed by you. If you ever do the song "Bellyache" its about a teenage psychopath and the vast majority of reactors (with a couple exceptions) have missed it, partly because they were talking through the lyrics - I appreciate that you stop the video to comment. P.S. If you do watch the documentary it is quite long, I wished it was about 20 minutes shorter, but it is very good.
Thank you Mitch. I certainly can go in the wrong direction and then my bus is set in motion. But I appreciate you guys for assisting me in her vision. Thank you for watching.
@@jdirtyreacts7043 Thank you for reading my comment and responding. Sometimes I can be a little ... perhaps impatient. There are some of Billie's songs that I didn't get even after a few listens, though I like the melody or Finneas's production, i.e. "When the Partys Over".
I never see a real artist like Billie for TOOO LOOONG, I mean … This is music, THIS is art. This means being an artist .. The emotions, the lyrics, everything and she wrote this song 💔
She and her brother are going to be a part of the music fabric of our lives for many more years to come.
@@jdirtyreacts7043 I’m 40 and I REALLY love these 2 siblings. They are amazing.
In your spare time if you are passionate like me about music, real music and real artists, i suggest you to hear these interviews with the 2 siblings .. amazing. They are literally on another level. So interesting and wow they are so young, but also so genius .. 🤯

There are those artists who are SO RARE in the history of music…. Not many legends we've had wrote their songs for them either, but they were built by the music industry. Example Elvis Presley and many others. Each artist often had many collaborators behind them (the real revolutionaries of music), others were legendary just for performances or for their vocality like Whitney Houston, but she didn’t write her songs, and fun fact she didn’t have a huge vocal range, but she will always be "the voice", the best voice ever had in history bc the quantity doesn’t matter, but the quality .
Billie is complete: she has a unique voice in the history of music, a vocal technique of which only she has specialized Incredible breathy falsetto / vibrato, very difficult to sing like she does. Incredible control voice and pitch. She also writes songs by herself. She directs and edits her music videos with which she has already won 7 VMAS in just 3 years (like Britney Spears) insane. She is a dancer, an actress. Such a young artist, but so complete. They are art in everything. So talent artists 👏🏻
Shes going off the rooftop dude.
one of my favorite billie’s song for sure
Good review, even though it took you too long to get it. This was written before her breakup. Many times her songs are metaphors, but this one was straight forward and literal. It wasn't one occurrence, this was basically a suicide note to her family, after years of severe depression, suicidal thoughts, and social media abuse and bullying. This poor beautiful soul was contemplating suicide, but thank God she didn't, and now her life turned completely around, and she is so much happier, and in a much better place, which she deserves, and I am so proud of her, and I love her very much!
Sorry it took a few lol. I’ve been such a hip hop head my whole life that listening to her has become it’s own skill I’m honing. I appreciate you being here.
@@jdirtyreacts7043 That's cool. I've seen some of your other reviews, they are always excellent.
If you listen to the album version, it ends with a quiet scream and then sirens in the distance, basically saying that she really went off the roof in the song. If you can, you should watch her documentary "The World's a Little Blurry," it really gives you a lot of insight to the start of her career and what she went through.
Song suggestion is to watch the Bond theme that she and Finneas wrote "No Time to Die" live from the Brit Awards. Or the Grammy's.
No way out but down refers back to the beginning line… take me to the roof top I want to see the world when I stop breathing turning blue… referring to jumping off the building.
"take me to the rooftop"...."no way out But down"... Very dark
You did a great job really paying attention to the lyrics. The most important ones were right at the beginning though. She’s on a rooftop and is contemplating jumping. This song is an artistic expression of true feelings she was having at the time. She told her mom that writing and singing about it is what keeps her from doing it. If you have a few minutes, I would highly recommend listening to the studio version. Not as a reaction, but to hear the way the story is also portrayed through the production by Finneas.
I will do that. She is crazy entertaining for sure. Thank you for watching.
Oh and not everything she writes is about the boyfriend that did her wrong lol..it’s just about life
I know that lol. That was said in humor for sure. I appreciate you for helping me through her lyrics. Thanks for watching.
@@jdirtyreacts7043 all good 👍🏼
It’s a “SUICIDE” Song J dirty!!!….Duhhhh!!!
I'm glad that you reacted to this one. Billie had a moment on stage here and she literally held the crowd hostage. It was pin-drop silent.
But to use the word 'ill' to describe something good really doesn't sit well. This adjective reversal thing that 'the kids' do is just getting silly sometimes. 'Stale' too??
I’m sorry lol. I’m a child of hip hop and although I’m far from a child it’s been a part of my vernacular since I was young. I use Fresh, Stale, Dope and ill frequently. I appreciate you being here with me.
Down means down to inner level of the body, not out. When you lose the direction on the outside you go down to yourself, to nature and from head to heart. I got it the moment you asked it. Along with the suicide meaning of course.
She means jumping off a roof.
It's about suicide.
