I think she senses that even though he’s not made that confession to her. “I’ll call you when the parties over.” I think her man is moving on in a relationship with another person. (Call me back) - You’d better keep our line of communication open, and not pretend I don’t exist. Or the following! -There’s a famous saying “keep your friends close abd your enemies closer.” This could mean, I’m your friend, but if you hurt me and betray my trust of what I’ve confused in you, I could have it in me to retaliate toward you and become your worst enemy. Call me friend but keep me closer could mean, you can tell all your friends that we’re just friends, if it embarrasses you to have them think we’re in a relationship… but we can hook up secretly without anyone knowing if that’s what you want. If you use my darkest and deepest things I’ve shared with you against me in a break up, I will have no choice but to make it ugly and I will retaliate. She’s saying she’s told him her darkest and deepest secrets she’s never shared with anyone, making her incredibly vulnerable. The chorus is her saying that when she comes home, a no one is there, and she’s lying to herself that she prefers it with her lover not being around. Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own I’ve given this relationship everything I’ve got, you know that, and continue the torture of the emotion roller coaster. I’m getting used to it, but my heart will be forever broken if it’s ever for good. You leave me… then come back.leave & come back….
You’ve convinced me that I’m no good for you. I have a totally different take on the lyrics meaning than the articles explanation. There is no official music video for the current track, but there is an animated audio clip posted on the 16th October on Billie Eilish’s official YouTube channel, and has over 6 million views.
The bridge is Eilish begging her lover to let her and this relationship go, let her allow herself to heal after they’ve both said their proper goodbyes and agree to no longer be in each other’s lives. “And I’ll call you when the party’s over” could be a reference to them deciding to meet up while at separate parties at the end of the night, because they feel like they need each other for a night, or even just because Eilish is trying to get on and enjoy her without this person in her life. “Call me friend but keep me closer”, could be referring to the fact that neither of them want to be in a relationship but can’t be just friends as they care about each other more than friends too, so they can call each other friends but not act like that. She feels as if her lover knows too much about her already, and how she’ll only hurt them if they let them, probably meaning that if they hurt her she’ll fight back. The second verse, Eilish confronts her lover about the nature of their relationship as well as herself. The chorus is Eilish saying that when she comes home, a no one is there, and she’s lying to herself that she prefers it with her lover not being around.Ĭall me friend but keep me closer (Call me back) I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that” I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that “Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own Despite all the things she’s done for them, they still leave her. The first verse is Eilish admitting that she knows that she’s not good for her lover, and that she’s learnt to have around on and off with no pattern.
I’ve learned to lose you, can’t afford to I feel like everybody’s had that struggle with someone – somebody on the phone yelling for some reason, and you’re just like, “You know what? F*cking leave me alone.” The track tells the story of a up and down and perhaps difficult and toxic relationship. It’s like, “I’ll call you when the party’s over,” you’re on the phone with someone and you can’t hear them, they can’t hear you, it’s loud, they’re mad at you for some reason. “It’s not really “I’m sad,” you know what I mean? So “When The Party’s Over,” I feel like that’s such a sentence. Speaking to “coup de main” magazine about the track, Eilish emphasizes that it’s not meant to be a sad song. “when the party’s over” is Eilish’s latest single, carrying on with her common theme of heartbreak and love in her songs. Working with her older brother who goes by the alias “FINNEAS”, the family duo are a musical team not to be missed. The LA native is only sixteen, but her lyrics and voice are far older.
