Song Analysis

My Lucifer is lonely
Standing there, killing time
Can’t commit to anything but a crime
Peter’s on vacation, an open invitation
Animals, evidence
Pearly gates look more like a picket fence
Once you get inside ’em
Got friends but can’t invite them
Hills burn in California
My turn to ignore ya
Don’t say I didn’t warn ya
All the good girls go to hell
‘Cause even God herself has enemies
And once the water starts to rise
And heaven’s out of sight
She’ll want the devil on her team
My Lucifer is lonely
Look at you needing me
You know I’m not your friend without some greenery
Walk in wearing fetters
Peter should know better
Your cover up is caving in
Man is such a fool
Why are we saving him?
Poisoning themselves now
Begging for our help, wow!
Hills burn in California
My turn to ignore ya
Don’t say I didn’t warn ya
All the good girls go to hell
‘Cause even God herself has enemies
And once the water starts to rise
And heaven’s out of sight
She’ll want the devil on her team
My Lucifer is lonely
There’s nothing left to save now
My god is gonna owe me
There’s nothing left to save now

The song All the good girls go to hell is a mix of different topics. Some of the main being going to heaven and not being accepted, talking about the devil, and how humans are going to cause the world to fall. The song addresses religious myths of lucifer the fallen angel, heaven, and hell. Billie Eilish is speaking to her audience, she is sharing a story trying to get a message across, but also just for a new perceptive for entertainment. Something I though was cool, was hoe she called God a she. Each line has around 7 syllables. The chorus is abab rhyme scheme. There are allusions to mythology. It’s an open poem. She uses many literary devices and the song lyrics are strongly up to each readers interpretation. There’s imagery, symbolism, irony, and idioms. The title is very ironic, “All the good girls go to hell.” I think she was trying to get the message across that we need to get up and do something because as we’re going right now, we aren’t doing that good.
