Your Power Lyrics – Billie Eilish

[Pre-Chorus]
In this section, the singer confronts the subject directly, questioning their awareness and culpability for their actions. There's a challenge thrown, asking if 'you' will only feel remorse when faced with consequences being exposed, and whether they'd wish to retract or undo their actions if given the chance.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the plea to use power judiciously, acknowledging the lack of choice in some changes, and highlighting the strangeness that often accompanies possessing power.

[Verse 2]
The second verse seems to describe a personal experience of the persona singing, expressing feelings of being manipulated and made to feel at fault by someone who held power over them. The individual who was once admired has lost their charm and appears to control others, possibly by keeping them confined or under their influence, despite claiming ignorance about certain crucial aspects.

[Pre-Chorus]
This section echoes the previous pre-chorus, questioning the subject's knowledge and ethical stance. It implies that perhaps the subject only cares about the consequences if their reputation or contract were at risk, rather than the actual harm they've caused.

[Chorus]
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the warning against abusing power, reiterating the lack of choice in change, and remarking on the discomfort that often accompanies having power.

[Outro]
The outro contains humming and vocalizations, which can evoke emotions and provide a contemplative ending to the song. It leaves the listener with a lingering sense of reflection on the song's themes.

Overall, the song addresses the misuse of power, the manipulation that often accompanies it, and the necessity for accountability and responsibility in wielding influence over others. ...Read Less
