Now it must be noted that Billie Eilish was only 13 or 14 years old when she dropped this track. And even the writer of the song, her brother Finneas, would have only been about 17. And at points, the lyrics do reflect their youthfulness. Or stated otherwise, the sentiment(s) being relayed may not be done so from the most-comprehensive, easy-to-understand manner. And yes, some may liken said pigmentation to the hue of the ocean.īut dude’s “ocean eyes” are also symbolic of his ability to seduce the singer, so to speak. It is that particular quality of his which makes her weak in the knees. So even though he has “left her lonely” on top of apparently mistreating her in other ways, “those ocean eyes” keep her enraptured in his love. And they also encapsulate the whole idea of the vocalist being so smitten with the addressee to the point that her feelings for him, in her mind, have become a cause for concern. In terms of the former, the implication is that the color of his eyes are what people refer to as deep-blue. Now said characteristic is both a physical and to some extent metaphorical one.
This is a love song in which Billie Eilish portrays the role of someone who, from her own perspective, we can say is in a toxic relationship. In other words, her lover tends to get her emotional and ‘knows how to make her cry’. But his most-outstanding attribute, again from her viewpoint, would rather be his “ocean eyes”.
