Theme

Lyrically, the song describes Billie’s experience in the music industry, and how she feels pressured to cater to the demands of her fans. She ponders whether or not she would have chosen to be an artist if she knew about the pros and cons beforehand. It is also a tribute to Billie’s brother and collaborator, Finneas O’Connell.

In an interview with Seventeen, Billie stated that the theme was inspired by a dream she had. She stated, «We started writing it because I literally had a dream that I killed myself and nobody cared, and all of my best friends and people that I worked with basically came out in public and said, like, «Oh, we never liked her.» In the dream, the fans didn’t care. The internet shit on me for killing myself, all this stuff, and it really did mess me up.» Billie admits that Finneas was initially uncomfortable about making a song about suicide when she approached him with the song, originally titled Nightmare. The song’s original theme was about depression and suicide and Finneas thought it would be a bad idea. Billie and Finneas changed the song’s message to mutual togetherness instead of suicide, which lead Billie to make the song a tribute to him.

Английский разбор песни

Песня не очень сложная по словам, но если смотреть на грамматику, то здесь прямо-таки, простор для изучения модальных глаголов. Итак, разберем некоторые интересные особенности из текста.

If I’m being honest (если я буду честна)

Здесь сразу 2 правила. Во-первых, это условное предложение, так как оно начинается со слова if (если). Далее, I’m being honest — я честна. Может показаться, что проще сказать «I’m honest». Это так, просто фраза из песни подчеркивает момент, когда произносятся слова. Поэтому используется время группы Continuous.

It might’ve been a nightmare (это могло было быть кошмаром)

Might — модальный глагол, который означает вероятность чего-либо. Might have been — это вероятность чего-либо в прошлом.

Step off (шагнуть с)

Это фразовый глагол. Вместо off можно использовать и другие предлоги: step on (шагнуть на), step up (шагнуть вперед), step back (сделать шаг назад).

Kinda

Это слэнговый вариант kind of — типа того, разновидность. Например, what kind of music — что за музыка?

Lie (лежать)

У этого глагола два значения — лгать и лежать. Понять что имеется ввиду можно из контекста. Заметим, что Lie (лгать) — правильный глагол, а lie (лежать) — неправильный. Его формы: lie — lay — lain.

Wonder (удивляться)

Часто используется для выражения интереса: I wonder — мне интересно, любопытно.

Coulda been a nightmare (могло бы быть кошмаром)

Еще один пример с модальным глаголом (could). Это сокращенный, слэнговый вариант выражения «could have been a nightmare».

Let’em down

Let down — фразовый глагол, который значит «расстраивать, подводить». Let’em down — это слэнговый вариант от let them down.

✕

I had a dream

I got everything I wanted

Not what you’d think

And if I’m bein’ honest

It might’ve been a nightmare

To anyone who might care

Thought I could fly (Fly)

So I stepped off the Golden, mm

Nobody cried (Cried)

Nobody even noticed

I saw them standing right there

Kinda thought they might care (Might care)

I had a dream

I got everything I wanted

But when I wake up I see

You with me

And you say, «As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you

Don’t wanna lie here, but you can learn to

If I could change the way that you see yourself

You wouldn’t wonder why you are here,

They don’t deserve you»

I tried to scream

But my head was underwater

They called me weak

Like I’m not just somebody’s daughter

Coulda been a nightmare

But it felt like they were right there

And it feels like yesterday was a year ago

But I don’t wanna let anybody know

‘Cause everybody wants something from me now

And I don’t wanna let ’em down

I had a dream

I got everything I wanted

But when I wake up I see

You with me

And you say, «As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you

Don’t wanna lie here, but you can learn to

If I could change the way that you see yourself

You wouldn’t wonder why you are here,

They don’t deserve you»

If I knew it all then, would I do it again?

Would I do it again?

If they knew what they said would go straight to my head

What would they say instead?

If I knew it all then, would I do it again?

Would I do it again?

If they knew what they said would go straight to my head

What would they say instead?

1. Golden Gate Bridge

• Golden:

  The Golden Gate Bridge, which is depicted in the song’s cover art, is the second-most used suicide site in the world. People have been known to travel to San Francisco specifically to jump off the bridge, and since the bridge’s opening in 1937, there have been more than 1,700 confirmed suicides and 300 unconfirmed. A safety net under the bridge is to be completed by 2021.

• Nobody cried:

  Billie estated in an interview with Annie Mac:
  «…We started writing it because I literally had a dream that I killed myself and nobody cared and all of my best friends basically came out in public and said ‘oh, we never liked her’…»

• As long as I’m here:

  Billie reveals the strong relationship with her brother Finneas:

  «My brother is my best friend and I have these dreams and these things happen and no matter what happens he’s gonna always be there for me and it’s the same the other way around.»

Lyrics

I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
Not what you’d think
And if I’m bein’ honest it might’ve been a nightmare
To anyone who might care
Thought I could fly (fly)
So I stepped off the Golden, mm
Nobody cried (cried)
Nobody even noticed
I saw them standing right there
Kinda thought they might care (might care, might care)
I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up I see
You with me
And you say, «As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you»
Don’t wanna lie here, but you can learn to
If I could change the way that you see yourself
You wouldn’t wonder why you hear, «They don’t deserve you»
I tried to scream
But my head was underwater
They called me weak
Like I’m not just somebody’s daughter
Coulda been a nightmare
But it felt like they were right there
And it feels like yesterday was a year ago
But I don’t wanna let anybody know
‘Cause everybody wants something from me now
And I don’t wanna let ’em down
I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up I see
You with me
And you say, «As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you»
Don’t wanna lie here, but you can learn to
If I could change the way that you see yourself
You wouldn’t wonder why you hear, «They don’t deserve you»
If I knew it all then, would I do it again?
Would I do it again?
If they knew what they said would go straight to my head
What would they say instead?
If I knew it all then, would I do it again?
Would I do it again?
If they knew what they said would go straight to my head
What would they say instead?
