My Future Lyrics
I can't seem to focus
And you don't seem to notice
I'm not here
I'm just a mirror
You check your complexion
To find your reflection's all alone
I had to go
Can't you hear me?
I'm not comin' home
Do you understand?
I've changed my plans
'Cause I, I'm in love
With my future
Can't wait to meet her
And I (I), I'm in love
But not with anybody else
Just wanna get to know myself
I know supposedly I'm lonely now (Lonely now)
Know I'm supposed to be unhappy
Without someone (Someone)
But aren't I someone? (Aren't I someone? Yeah)
I'd (I'd) like to be your answer (Be your answer)
'Cause you're so handsome (You're so handsome)
But I know better
Than to drive you home
'Cause you'd invite me in
And I'd be yours again
But I, I'm in love
With my future
And you don't know her
And I, I'm in love (Love, love)
But not with anybody here
I'll see you in a couple years
And you don't seem to notice
I'm not here
I'm just a mirror
You check your complexion
To find your reflection's all alone
I had to go
Can't you hear me?
I'm not comin' home
Do you understand?
I've changed my plans
With my future
Can't wait to meet her
And I (I), I'm in love
But not with anybody else
Just wanna get to know myself
Know I'm supposed to be unhappy
Without someone (Someone)
But aren't I someone? (Aren't I someone? Yeah)
I'd (I'd) like to be your answer (Be your answer)
'Cause you're so handsome (You're so handsome)
But I know better
Than to drive you home
'Cause you'd invite me in
And I'd be yours again
With my future
And you don't know her
And I, I'm in love (Love, love)
But not with anybody here
I'll see you in a couple years

Billie Eilish released her new single, “My Future” today. “My Future” dropped on her brother and collaborator Finneas’ 23rd birthday. The song was written at the beginning of the quarantine. It is a song of hope, excitement, self-reflection, and self-growth. “My Future” resonates with listeners in a way it could not otherwise. The song sounds like many of Eilish’s other songs but stands apart in the lyrics. It shows how Eilish has grown up and has developed as an artist. Eilish sings about how she is growing and developing and she “can’t wait to meet her” new self and she is “in love/ but not with anybody else”. The song starts out lonely and melancholy, but as the song goes on the beat picks up and is like sunshine clearing away the clouds. “My Future” is a song that truly showcases how Eilish has developed as a person and an artist. While the pandemic continues, Eilish shows that she is capable of creating powerful music that moves both her and the world around her.
The track is a broody emotional piece by American superstar singer Billie Ellish. It serves as her second single of 2020 and comes during the coronavirus pandemic. She wrote the song in its entirety with her brother and producer FINNEAS. The track was released on July 30, 2020 via Darkroom Records & Interscope Records on all major streaming platforms.
What the artist means A slow but yet emotional track by the best teenager in the music scene right now. She's singing from the depths of her soul and pouring her heart on this one. The track sees Billie talk about falling in love and falling out of it, it's so refreshing hearing this side of her. The drums on this track are beautiful, luxurious and quite alluring. She talks about knowing better than driving her lover home and we all can truly relate to it. She sings about her fears in committing to this relationship and whether it would be beneficial to her, her budding career plus mental health. Billie truly went in on this one.
What the song means to me Billie Ellish has captured the imagination of an array of people. Her fan base is immensely diverse and she has channeled her uniqueness into something simply inspirational. The essential popstar that looks primed to take over the decade she reminds us yet again on 'My Future' why she is so highly revered in the industry. The song is beautiful, artistic, croon worthy and a magnificently produced one indeed. It shows Billie's versatility and the remarkable progress she has made in her young career. One for the classic books and certainly one I'll play time and time again. I will give this song a rating of 9/10.
