This world is kind of strange.

It blurs, almost as if someone had to focus on it.

A world that makes you dizzy and scared because it knows no good, no bad, no right or wrong.

The world's a little blurry.

Billie Eilish was 15 or 16, maybe younger when she wrote this line of the song.

It's a sentence like a teenage manifesto.

Teenagers who always pretend they know everything, can do anything.

Teenagers who don't know the difference between normal activity and nervous breakdown.

Hey, it'll be fine.

What parents say when they worry.

Soon.

Sometime.

Certainly.

But what if it never stops?

What if everything stays strange, blurry and impenetrable?

If it's not you, but this damn world out there?

"The World's A Little Blurry" is the title of a documentary just published on AppleTV about Billie Eilish, who has conquered the world in a magical way with her music from the nursery.

15 billion streams on Spotify alone, 77 million subscribers on Instagram.

Five Grammys.

Performances at the Oscars and the Democratic Party Conference.

Cover images for »Vogue« and »Vanity Fair«.
