BITTERSUITE

BITTERSUITE

I can’t fall in love with you

I’ve been overseas
I’ve been having dreams
You were in the foyer
I was on my knees
Outside of my body
Watchin’ from above
I see the way you want me
I wanna be the one

But I gotta be careful
Gotta watch what I say
God I hope it all goes away
‘Cause

I can’t fall in love with you
No matter how bad I want to

Mm
Ah
Ah
Mm

I don’t need to breathe
When you look at me all I see is green
And I think that we’re in between
Everything I’ve seen in my dream
Have it once a week, can’t land on my feet
Can’t sleep, have you underneath
All of my beliefs, keep it brief
I’ll wait in thе suite
Keep me off my feet, mm

You seem so paranoid
I’m looking at the boys
I’vе never filled the void
Out of spite
You seem so paralyzed
It’s so romanticized
If this is how I die
That’s alright

I’ve been overseas
I don’t need to breathe
When you look at me all I see is green
And I think that we’re in between
Everything I’ve seen in my dream
Have it once a week, can’t land on my feet
Can’t sleep, have you underneath
All of my beliefs, keep it brief
I’ll see you in the suite
We can be discrete
But I’ve been overseas
And I’ve been having dreams
L’amour de ma vie
Love so bittersweet, mm
Open up the door for me, for me
‘Cause I’m still on my knees
I’m staying off my feet
Because I

Just want you to touch me
Come on, huh
I know it seems to [?]
It’s something I don’t know
I’ve never paid this much attention to you
I know

Sobre

“BITTERSUITE”, estilizada em letras maiúsculas como as outras faixas do álbum, converte o sufixo de “doce” para o homofônico “suite”. Apesar de, à primeira vista, parecer uma mudança menor, a remoção de “doce” sugere a ideia de que Billie ficou amarga, sem nenhum traço de prazer, deixada sozinha em uma “suíte de hotel”. Isso poderia ser uma referência direta aos seus pensamentos suicidas ao se tornar famosa em 2020, sentindo-se isolada de seus amigos e familiares, apesar do suposto prazer doce da fama; tudo isso ocorrendo em uma suíte de hotel em Berlim.
