Hit me hard and soft gay

We know our community invented that. On a serious note, I really love the narrative of self love in this song, which is complicated here and not just some empty self-affirmation, Billie honest and vulnerable about how public discourse around her age, appearance, etc. I could eat that girl for lunch Yeah, she dances on my tongue Tastes like she might be the one And I could never get enough.

Get ready!!!!! Like I said, gay song of the summer. What a line! You really could just buy her so much stuff. Baby, I think you were made for me Somebody write down the recipe. Like truly no room for ambiguity or alternative interpretations here. This is a song about queer sex. I will be blasting it with my windows down while driving through central Florida for the foreseeable future.

The Gayest Lyrics From Billie Eilish’s New Album ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’

A gay bridge for the ages! This whole song is inspired by Spirited Away which feels gay in and of itself. Romantic sincerity expressed dramatically in words associated with death and dying…also invented by our community. The story here is also complicated by the fact that Billie comforted a girl going through a breakup and then got with her ex.

Messy messy! All my love and patience All my admiration All the times I waited For you to want me naked. This whole song is about giving way more in a relationship than one receives back. I wish you the best for the rest of your life Felt sorry for you when I looked in your eyes But I need to confess, I told you a lie I said you You were the love of my life The love of my life.

Oooo breakup song alert! Again, whereas a lot of recent queer pop strikes a very sharp and caustic, in-your-face tone about revenge and karma in the wake of a breakup, Billie opts for something quieter. Bet I could change your life You could be my wife Wife, wife. Yes, those lyrics when decontextualized seem simply gay. But this song is actually a lot more complex than initially meets the eye.

Anyway, a standout song on a great album. The whole thing feels dripping with dreamy queer erotics. The song devolves into a metatext that references lyrics from previous songs, smashing them together to create something new. And its penultimate placement on the album feels correct.
