    The poem describes feeling lonely and isolated ("underwater" and with "paler" skin than normal) while reminiscing about happier times spent with a close friend. The speaker is dreaming of the past when they remained "the best of friends" even after hard times, and is watching movies alone in black and white as a way to cope with being "overdue for new endeavors" and feeling more lonely than anyone else.

    WHEN I WAS OLDER

    Billie Eilish

    When I was older Any funeral pyre to mud


    I was a sailor on an open sea In the flood
    But now I’m underwater When I was older
    And my skin is paler than it I was a sailor on an open sea
    should ever be But now I’m underwater
    I’m on my back again And my skin is paler than it
    Dreaming of a time and place should ever be
    Where you and I remain I’m watching movies back to back
    The best of friends In black and white
    Even after all this ends I never seen anybody do it
    Can we pretend? Like I do it any better
    I’m on my, I’m on my back again Been going over you
    It’s seeming more and more I’m overdue for new endeavors
    Like all we ever do is Nobody lonely like I’m lonely
    See how far it bends And I don’t know whether
    Before it breaks in half and then You’d really like it in the limelight
    We bend it back again You’d sympathize with all the bad
    Guess I got caught in the middle guys
    of it I’m still a victim in my own right
    Yes I’ve been taught But I’m the villain in my own eyes,
    Got a little of it yeah
    In my blood, in my blood When I was older
    Memories burn like a forest fire I was a sailor on an open sea
    Heavy rain turns
