βI could eat that girl for lunch / Yeah, she dances on my tongue / Taste like she might be the one.β Academy and Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Billie Eilish is honest regarding attraction and sexuality in her song, βLUNCHβ. βIβm interested in more than just beinβ your friend,β she adds in the bridge. βLUNCHβ is the second track from her critically acclaimed, third studio album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT.Β An authentic, honest, and personal track, Eilish embraces her queerness. In 2023, she came out unintentionally, stating she didnβt know people were unaware of her attraction to women. Early on βLUNCH,β Eilish is transparent about having a relationship with a woman. She adds in the centerpiece, the chorus, βItβs a craving, not a crush.β The lyric legitimizes her desire β itβs no fluke.
In the verses, Eilish βopens upβ about her feelings about this girl. All the while, she maintains the lunch metaphor. Β βBaby, I think you were made for me / Somebody write down the recipe,β she sings in the first verse, adding, βBeen tryinβ hard not to overeat / Youβre just so sweet.β Things progress, with Eilish offering to help this girl βtake off her clothes,β desiring to βget her off.β In the second verse, sheβs impressed with her beautiful looks, complimenting her skin.Β She cleverly concludes the verse by singing, βSheβs the headlights, Iβm the deer.β What makes βLUNCHβ impressive is how vulnerable Eilish allows herself to be. Navigating sexuality is difficult.Β That is an understatement!Β Here, with her amazing, distinct voice, and the stellar production of her right-hand man, FINNEAS, Eilish conveys her truth, masking nothing. This βLUNCHβ is delicious and makes us beam ear to ear with Pride π³οΈβπ.
