While the title may sound like a commentary on morality, Eilish has confirmed that the "hell" in the song is a metaphor for an Earth ravaged by global warming.
Eilish has described humanity as the "flu" of the planet, expressing frustration over the lack of urgency in saving the environment.
The lyrics suggest that God and the Devil are equally bewildered by human self-destruction, with "heaven's out of sight" once the "water starts to rise". 📽️ Visual Symbolism
Eilish sings from the point of view of the Devil, who watches with apathy as humans destroy their only home.
The music video, directed by Rich Lee, visually reinforces these environmental themes through a dark, dystopian lens.
