"CHIHIRO" by Billie Eilish is the third track from her 2024 album Hit Me Hard and Soft. The song draws inspiration from the Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away, blending the film's themes with Billie's personal reflections.

Billie explained that the song was an improvisational masterpiece created with her brother and co-producer, Finneas. The recurring plea to "open up the door" symbolizes seeking connection, self-discovery, and liberation, mirroring the emotional depth of Spirited Away. 

Billie Eilish - CHIHIRO Song Lyrics

To take my love away

When I come back around, will I know what to say?

Said you won't forget my name

Not today

Not tomorrow

Kinda strange

Feeling sorrow

I got change (yeah)

You could borrow (borrow)

When I come back around, will I know what to say?

Not today

Maybe tomorrow

Open up the door, can you open up the door?

I know you said before you can't cope with any more

You told me it was war, said you'd show me what's in store

I hope it's not for sure, can you open up the door?

Did you

Take

My love

Away

From me, me?

Me

Saw your seat at the counter when I looked away

Saw you turn around, but it wasn't your face

Said: I need to be alone now, I'm taking a break

How come when I returned you were gone away?

I don't

I don't know why I called

I don't know you at all

I don't know you

Not at all

I don't

I don't know why I called

I don't know you at all

I don't know you

Did you

Take

My love

Away

From me, me?

And that's when you found me

I was waiting in the garden

Contemplating, beg your pardon

But there's a part of me that recognizes you

Do you feel it too?

When you told me it was serious

Were you serious? Mmm

They told me they were only curious

Now it's serious, mmm

Open up the door, can you open up the door?

I know you said before you can't cope with any more

You told me it was war, said you'd show me what's in store

I hope it's not for sure, can you open up the door?

Wringing my hands in my lap

And they tell me it's all been a trap

And you don't know if you'll make it back

I say: No, don't say that

(Wringing my hands in my lap)

(Tell me it's all been a trap)

(Don't know if you'll make it back)

(I say: No, don't say that)

(Wringing my hands in my lap)

(Tell me it's all been a trap)

(Don't know if you'll make it back)

(Don't say that)

Mhm
