Billie Eilish: Your Power

Try not to abuse your power
I know we didn't choose to change
You might not wanna lose your power
But havin' it's so strange

She said "you were a hero, you played the part"
"But you ruined her in a year, don't act like it was hard"
And you swear you didn't know (didn't know, didn't know)
No wonder why you didn't ask
She was sleepin' in your clothes (in your clothes, in your clothes)
But now she's got to get to class

How dare you?
And how could you?
Will you only feel bad when they find out?
If you could take it all back
Would you?

Try not to abuse your power
I know we didn't choose to change
You might not wanna lose your power
But havin' it's so strange

I thought that I was special, you made me feel
Like it was my fault, you were the devil, lost your appeal
Does it keep you in control? (In control, in control)
For you to keep her in a cage?
And you swear you didn't know (didn't know, didn't know)
You said you thought she was your age

How dare you?
And how could you?
Will you only feel bad if it turns out that they kill your contract?
Would you?

Try not to abuse your power
I know we didn't choose to change
You might not wanna lose your power
But power isn't pain

Mhmm, mhmm
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh-ooh
Ha, ha-ha-ha-ha
La-la-la-la la, la la, la la
Ha

In the song Your Power by Billie Eilish, the narrator describes how an unknown person misuses his own power to have a relationship with a young girl. According to esquire.com, Eilish generelly aims at making people aware about this problem, it is not only about the scandal that occurred in Hollywood and led to the Metoo movement. And being a victim does not necessarily mean that you are a woman, Eilish said in the Esquire interview. 

The second intention of this song is to make those misusing their power feel guilty even though nobody knows what they have done and even though they haven’t lost their jobs. They have to become aware that they are destroying somebody’s lives and that they will not be able to compensate the pain they are causing.
