The song’s lyrics reflect a sense of boredom and dissatisfaction with everyday life, particularly in the lines “I’m in their second-hand smoke / Still just drinking canned coke / I don’t need a xanny to feel better”.

Here, Billie Eilish conveys a feeling of being surrounded by superficial activities and substances that fail to provide any real comfort or excitement.

The repetition of “I’m in love with my sadness” further emphasizes her embrace of her emotional state, suggesting a resistance to conventional methods of escapism.

The song’s minimalist production and Eilish’s subdued vocal delivery enhance the overall mood of introspection and detachment, aligning with her known style of blending dark themes with catchy melodies.

This interpretation is grounded in the literal expressions of boredom and sadness, supported by the cultural context of teenage angst and the search for identity.
