Lirik Lagu Chihiro dari Billie Eilish, Karya Musiknya Disebut Terinspirasi dari Spirited Away

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - Billie Eilish resmi meluncurkan album ketiganya yang bertajuk Hit Me Hard and Soft pada 17 Mei 2024 lalu. Album yang dirilis di bawah Darkroom dan Interscope Records ini sukses merajai tangga lagu di lebih dari 20 negara, termasuk Amerika Serikat.

Hebatnya, selain menyanyikan keseluruhan lagu di album ini, lirik lagu Billie Eilish, dibantu oleh saudaranya, Finneas O'Connell, juga bertindak sebagai penulis lirik lagu.

Kesemua lagunya juga sukses meraih pujian. Termasuk single Chihiro yang saat ini tengah ramai diperbincangkan lantaran judulnya yang diambil dari karakter utama di film animasi Ghibli, Spirited Away.

"Lagu ini menceritakan sudut pandang (Chihiro), yang bercampur dengan sudut pandangku. Visual dalam filmnya juga termasuk yang terbaik yang pernah ada. Semua hal yang ada di Studio Ghibli sungguh luar biasa," ujar Billie Eilish dalam sebuah wawancara bersama Rolling Stones, terkait lirik lagu Chihiro ini.

Billie Eilish sukses meraih perhatian penikmat musik lewat single Ocean Eyes yang rilis pada 2015 lalu. Kariernya kemudian semakin melesat setelah merilis When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019) serta album kedua, Happier Than Ever pada 2021 lalu.

Kini, lewat album ketiganya, Billie Eilish siap untuk kembali merajai industri musik dunia. Bahkan, kurang dua bulan sejak rilis, Hit Me Hard and Soft telah mencapai 2 juta streaming, yang membuat album ini memecahkan rekor dari kesuksesan album-album Billie Eilish sebelumnya.

To take my love away

When I come back around, will I know what to say?

Said you won't forget my name

Not today, not tomorrow

Kinda strange, feelin' sorrow

I got change (yup), you could borrow (borrow)

When I come back around, will I know what to say?

Not today, maybe tomorrow

Open up the door, can you open up the door?

I know you said before you can't cope with any more

You told me it was war, said you'd show me what's in store

I hope it's not for sure, can you open up the door?

Did you take

My love away

From me? Me

Me

Saw your seat at the counter when I looked away

Saw you turn around, but it wasn't your face

Said, "I need to be alone now, I'm takin' a break"

How come when I returned, you were gone away?

I don't, I don't know why I called

I don't know you at all

I don't know you

Not at all

I don't, I don't know why I called

I don't know you at all

I don't know you

Did you take

My love away

From me? Me

And that's when you found me

I was waitin' in the garden

Contemplatin', beg your pardon

But there's a part of me that recognizes you

Do you feel it too?

When you told me it was serious

Were you serious? Mm

They told me they were only curious

Now it's serious, hm

Open up the door, can you open up the door?

I know you said before you can't cope with any more

You told me it was war, said you'd show me what's in store

I hope it's not for sure, can you open up the door?

Wringing my hands in my lap

And they tell me it's all been a trap

And you don't know if you'll make it back

I said, "No, don't say that"

Hm-hm
