Barbie, aliás, Billie Eilish

Não haverá muito a dizer da ligeireza colorida, em tom de intelectualismo pós-modernista, do filme Barbie. Sobram algumas canções, com destaque para What Was I Made For?, com Billie Eilish a dizer e a encenar-se num desespero gélido que, paradoxalmente, contradiz os pressupostos de entertainment do próprio filme de Greta Gerwig — eis o magnífico resultado.

I used to float, now I just fall down
I used to know but I'm not sure now
What I was made for
What was I made for?
Takin' a drive, I was an ideal
Looked so alive, turns out, I'm not real
Just something you paid for
What was I made for?

'Cause I, I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday I might
Someday I might

When did it end? All the enjoyment
I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend
It's not what he's made for
What was I made for?

'Cause I, 'cause I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday I might
Someday I might

Think I forgot how to be happy
Something I'm not, but something I can be
Something I wait for
Something I'm made for
