Billie Eilish has spoken about her struggle with night terrors, explaining how they affect her so badly that “the whole day is off sometimes” – but that the experiences have also inspired her songwriting.<\/p>\n
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Eilish was asked if she was a good sleeper. “Not at all. I have these terrifying dreams,” she explained. “Sleep paralysis, night terrors. It’s like the whole night is terrifying and then I wake up.<\/p>\n
“They really mess me up so the whole day is off sometimes.”<\/p>\n
The disturbances have also ended up reflected in some of her music, Eilish noted, particularly ‘Bury a Friend’: “They’ve given me a couple of ideas for my songs. “I probably wouldn’t have made that song the way it is if I hadn’t had sleep paralysis and nightmares.”<\/p>\n
However, the ‘Bad Guy’ singer was also quick to reassure fans who might be worried about the amount of dark imagery in her art. “I’m just living, making my art. It’s a really dark time and I’m speaking about it.<\/p>\n
“I don’t write from my perspective a lot, so you never know what you’re getting, if it’s from me or if it’s from my creative side.”<\/p>\n
Earlier this week (February 5), Eilish came in for criticism after saying in a recent interview that rappers are “lying” in their music.<\/p>\n
The singer is the current cover star for Vogue and she made the comments about hip-hop artists to the publication. “Just because the story isn’t real doesn’t mean it can’t be important,” Eilish said, justifying her use of alter egos in her songs. “There’s a difference between lying in a song and writing a story. There are tons of songs where people are just lying. There’s a lot of that in rap right now, from people that I know who rap.”<\/p>\n
She continued: “It’s like, ‘I got my AK-47 and I’m fuckin’…’ and I’m like, ‘What? You don’t have a gun.’ ‘All my bitches…’ I’m like, ‘Which bitches?’ That’s posturing and that’s not what I’m doing.” <\/p>\n
