Lirik dan Makna 'Therefore I Am', Balasan Billie Eilish buat Body Shamers
Jakarta - Billie Eilish merilis lagu 'Therefore I Am', Jumat (13/11/2020). Baru beberapa jam dirilis, video musiknya telah ditonton lebih dari 4 juta orang.
Seperti lagu-lagu sebelumnya, 'Therefore I Am' punya irama yang ear catching. Liriknya sendiri cukup tajam dan ditujukan buat para haters.
Di lagu kali ini, Billie Eilish mengutip ungkapan terkernal filsuf Rene Descartes 'I think, therefore I am' ke dalam liriknya.
Lewat ungkapan yang dalam bahasa Indonesia berarti 'Aku berpikir, maka aku ada' ini, Eilish ingin mengatakan kalau dia punya pemikiran sendiri dan dia nggak butuh orang lain bikin keputusan untuk hidupnya.

Bait 'I'm not your friend or anything' seolah menunjukkan bahwa lagu ini dibuat untuk haters yang coba mengendalikan hidupnya. Hal itu dia tegaskan lagi di verse 2 yang secara nggak langsung merujuk soal pengalamannya kena 'body shaming' Oktober lalu.
Saat itu seorang laki-laki dengan akun Twitter @GamesNosh memposting foto Billie Eilish saat memakai tanktop dan celana pendek. Dia juga menghina bentuk tubuh penyanyi yang memborong 5 piala Grammy Awards 2020 ini.
Tapi Billie Eilish memilih bersikap bodo amat karena nggak mau membuat pria itu terkenal, seperti yang dia nyanyikan dalam lirik 'I’d rather you remain unremarkable // (Got a lotta) Interviews, interviews, interviews // When they say your name, I just act confused".
Berikut lirik lagu 'Therefore I Am' Billie Eillish yang bisa bantu kamu sing along saat dengerin lagunya!

Verse 1
Stop, what the hell are you talking about? Ha
Get my pretty name outta your mouth
We are not the same with or without
Don’t talk ’bout me like how you might know how I feel
Top of the world, but your world isn’t real
Your world’s an ideal
