I know this reaction was filmed a long while ago, but in case you still haven't figured out the Lilith thing: Lilith was Adam's first wife, before Eve, and she was created as his equal. Because of that, she refused to be submissive to Adam, and so she was discarded and sent to Hell to become Satan's wife. I don't know if this is EXACTLY how this is story is retailed but this is definitely one of the versions I know to exist. Anyway, this part isn't the most important part. The important thing to know is that, because of her actions, Lilith became a representation of female empowerment, but she can also represent self-destructiveness, corruption, evil, and other things along those lines, because after she became Satan's wife, she became the Mother of Demons, the Mother of Witches, and the female image to everything bad and sinful. The female partner to Evil itself. So, the song talks about Halsey feeling like there is a Lilith inside of her, and she also uses Lilith's imagery to claim that she's deeply and irrevocably wicked, and instead of being ashamed of that and fighting it, she embraces this "monster inside her", as she says in other songs and expands on the rest of the album. The movie also touches a lot on the subject of embracing the darkness inside of you.
