Copycat (Remix) (feat. Billie Eilish)

In 'Copycat (Remix),' Sofi Tukker and Billie Eilish delve into the frustrations and complexities of dealing with imitators. The song's lyrics are a direct confrontation with those who mimic others' styles and behaviors without originality. The repeated lines, 'Copycat trying to cop my manner / Watch your back when you can't watch mine,' emphasize the irritation and vigilance required when someone is constantly trying to replicate your unique traits. The use of the term 'bunny' adds a layer of condescension, highlighting the perceived inferiority of the imitator.

The song also explores themes of ownership and identity. Lines like 'You got your finger on the trigger / But your trigger finger's mine' suggest a struggle for control and authenticity. The imagery of 'Silver dollar, golden flame / Dirty water, poison rain' contrasts purity and corruption, further illustrating the tension between the original and the copy. The phrase 'I don't belong to anyone / But everybody knows my name' underscores the artist's desire for individuality and recognition, free from the shadows of imitation.

The chorus, 'By the way, you've been uninvited / 'Cause all you say are all the same things I did,' serves as a powerful declaration of exclusion. It signifies the artist's rejection of those who lack originality and merely echo what has already been done. The song's tone is unapologetic and assertive, with a clear message that true creativity cannot be duplicated. The repeated apologies in the latter part of the song, 'Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry, sorry,' are laced with irony, reinforcing the artist's disdain for the copycat's lack of authenticity.
