The theme song for the twenty-fifth James Bond film, No Time to Die, is released as ‘No Time to Die.’ On the 14th of January 2020, Billie announced the trail. On the 12th of February 2020, Billie taunted the track remotely, signalling that the single will be released the next day, on the 13th of February 2020, prior to the release of the film as a promotional song. The Grammy winner, who is already having a fantastic year, was tapped to write the lyrics for the promotional single for “No Time To Die” with her brother and frequent collaborator, Finneas. Let’s take a look at the context behind Billie Eilish’s James Bond theme song, “No Time To Die.”
Introduction
Billie, who was announced as the starred singer for No Time to Die earlier this month, is bringing a large Grammys spread with her. Her first release in 2020 will be a song from the upcoming twenty-fifth Bond film. Her murky aesthetic is a precise round for 007 and the extremely murky and unclear expression of current James Bond film, including her being one of the freshest singers to ever understand a song for the series.
No Time To Die Lyrics Meaning
Let’s dissect the meaning behind the lyrics of the song ‘No Time To Die’ by Billie Eilish section-wise.
[Verse 1]
I should've known
I'd leave alone
Just goes to show
That the blood you bleed is just the blood you owe
We were a pair
But I saw you there
Too much to bear
You were my life, but life is far away from fair
Was I stupid to love you?
Was I reckless to help?
Was it obvious to everybody else
The bad guy starts the first verse of her first single for 2020 with a tune about heartbreak and failed relationships. Eilish wonders if someone else, except herself, was aware that the relationship was doomed from the start. Anything Billie said in “everything I Wanted” could be used to explain the core of this follow-up track.
There are bleak aspects in this album, such as cuts caused by stress and acute anxiety, as well as references to her past split. She wonders if she didn’t deserve her former romantic partner’s affection. The song’s pitiful sound should be enough to convey the heartbreak she had to suffer.
[Chorus]
That I'd fallen for a lie?
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die
When the party is done, Billie Eilish will most likely write the album. And when her intuition convinced her he wasn’t on her side at all, the singer fell for lies. She’s been duped a number of times. However, the relationship’s uncertain path made her feel like she was in heaven at times and like she was on the verge of death at others. She’s regained her composure, and she’s resolved to never cry for him again. In the meanwhile, she will enjoy her life and there is no time to die.
[Verse 2]
I let it burn
You're no longer my concern
Faces from my past return
Another lesson yet to learn
She’s now allowed herself to weep over a shattered friendship. She’s burning through every strand of suffering she’s ever seen. He is no longer a source of worry for her. Eilish has proven to be capable of standing on her own and moving forward. We always find ourselves in this position, and it is not a pleasant experience. Not being able to express love for someone you genuinely respect is the hardest thing that can happen to you. Worse still, when the love you display isn’t returned.
[Chorus]
That I'd fallen for a lie
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die
[Refrain]
No time to die
No time to die
[Outro]
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die
