“L’Amour de Ma Vie” merupakan lagu terbaru Billie Eilish yang dirilis pada 17 Mei 2024. Lagu ini merupakan track ketujuh dari album ketiga Billie bertajuk Hit Me Hard and Soft.
Judul lagu ini memiliki arti “cinta dalam hidupku” dalam bahasa Prancis. Namun, L’Amour de Ma Vie” bukanlah lagu romantis.
Makna lagu L’Amour de Ma Vie
Lewat lagu ini, Billie justru mengaku kepada sang mantan bahwa ia bukanlah ‘cinta dalam hidupnya’ yang sebenarnya, bahwa itu semua hanyalah kebohongan belaka.
Selama masih berpacaran, Billie memang sering mengungkapkan perasaan cintanya menggunakan frasa itu. Akan tetapi, pada kenyataannya, hal itu tidak sepenuhnya benar.
Billie mengaku bahwa semua itu hanyalah kebohongan lewat lirik, “But I need to confess, I told you a lie. I said you, you were the love of my life.”
“L’amour de Ma Vie” juga menunjukkan sebuah hubungan yang tidak sehat. Billie menyebut pasangannya terdahulu sebagai sosok yang manipulatif dan membuatnya merasa bersalah karena ingin meninggalkan orang tersebut.
Ketika akhirnya berhasil lepas dari hubungan yang toksik itu, barulah Billie menyadari bahwa dialah yang merupakan ‘cinta dalam hidup’ sang mantan, bukan sebaliknya.
Lirik lagu “L’Amour de Ma Vie” - Billie Eilish
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
Did I break your heart?
Did I waste your time?
I tried to be there for you
Then you tried to break mine
It isn't asking for a lot for an apology
For making me feel like it'd kill you if I tried to leave
You said you'd never fall in love again because of me
Then you moved on immediately (bum, bum, bum)
But 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 (told you a lie)
When I said you (I said you)
You were the love of my life
The love of my life
So you found her, now go fall in love (go fall in love)
Just like we were if I ever was (if I ever was)
It's not my fault, I did what I could (did what I could)
You made it so hard like I knew you would
Thought I was depressed or losing my mind
My stomach upset almost all of the time
But after I left, it was obvious why (oh), mm
Because for you, you
I was the love of your life, mm
But you were not mine (but you were not mine)
It isn't asking for a lot for an apology
For making me feel like it'd kill you if I tried to leave
You said you'd never fall in love again because of me
Then you moved on, then you moved on
Then you moved on, then you moved on
Then you moved on, then you moved on
Ooh
You wanted to keep it
Like somethin' you found
'Til you didn't need it
But you should've seen it
The way it went down
Wouldn't believe it
Wanna know what I told her
With her hand on my shoulder?
You were so mediocre
And we're so glad it's over now
It's over now
It's over now
It's over now
Camera
Caught on camera
The girls on camera
Your girl's a fan of-
Miss me
Say you miss me
It's such a pity
We're both so pretty
