will you do a song by song review for life support? i really liked the ones for sweetener and thank you next!
oh absolutely, i’d love to! thank you for asking and being interested 🖤 all thoughts below.
the beginning:
this was such a great way to open this album, it’s so cinematic and really sets the mood so perfectly. one of my fav instrumental intros i’ve ever heard.
9/10
good in goodbye: “you put the over in lover, put the ex in next.”
the lyrics are so wonderfully corny and i’ll love this song forever, like the chorus is literally just so fun to sing along to.
i do think it feels a little... shallow compared to the rest of the album, and the album being released so long after this song came out makes it feel disconnected from the rest. but i love it so i don’t care.
7.5/10
default: “i know, i know this must be coming for me, i swear, i swear i will be the end of me, the end of me.”
this song is just sooo...... OUCH!
i’m obsessed with the way the chorus just SOUNDS like an emotional spiral, like her life falling apart, like falling into a deep depression, and then the outro builds like destructive racing thoughts.
also i never noticed the wave crashing and the bubbles at the very beginning until really recently, and i love that little touch. the whole song feels so underwater. cloudy and fuzzy. it does a good job of depicting certain symptoms of various mental illnesses.
8.5/10
follow the white rabbit: “is it haunting, baby, that i’m wanting, baby, that i’m wanting, wanting you?”
i actually was fully not expecting to like this that much based off the snippets she’d shared, but omg this left me WEAAAAK on first listen, which was the best surprise
there are definitely so many layers to these lyrics too, despite it being just a bombastic sexy toxic love song on its surface, particularly when thinking about the album as a commentary on mental illness, and some of the breakup/love songs as metaphors rather than straightforward love songs. definitely about infatuation and toxicity and perhaps knowingly entering a bad relationship as a bad coping mechanism, a way to avoid dealing with your pain or (as we see in effortlessly) a way to just feel anything at all.
9/10
effortlessly: “i hold my breath to breathe, hurt me so i feel, used to do these things so effortlessly somehow.”
oh god this song is just a punch in the stomach
i ALSO didn’t really expect to love this one based on snippets but the lyrics are just devastating and perfect and i hope speak to anybody who has struggled with self-harm and medication.
i don’t even have thoughts on this song, it just makes me go jsn*@(#nkdasdnkasd7*@U#j2k3n
love that this is such a fan favourite. it deserves!
10/10
stay numb and carry on: “truth is it was never love, your fault if you thought it was.”
the reverse “i’ve become emotionless” at the beginning >>>
also love the “i was gin and you were toxic . . . wish we’d just stayed plaTONIC” like a platonic relationship would be the opposite of toxic. it’s such fun wordplay.
also “i don’t feel like anyone” makes me emo, she really just slid the most simple but heartbreaking lines in everywhere and you don’t notice them until they hit you out of nowhere one day and you’re like ...OH
AND THE WAY HER VOICE STARTS TO GO MONOTONE AT “i’ve become emotionless”
in conclusion, madison beer is a vessel for god
10/10
blue: “you could be as sweet as honey but i knew the darkness in your mind.”
this is my least favourite on the album but it’s still fantastic
the lana influence is clear without being too copycat, like it’s still SO madison. sorta like lana’s video games modernized and adapted into something truer to madison’s vibe.
love love love the whole outro
glad that this wasn’t a single like it was planned to be
7/10
interlude: “would you do that shit for me too?”
VOCODER RIGHTS
this album in general is just not really for people who don’t like vocoders and lots of technical effects. i looove that she leaned into it so hard bc it’s so HER.
this song also has so much depth for an interlude, relaying the experience of feeling SO hard about people, and realizing like you’re putting in way more than you’re getting back.
the post-chorus is like... 🤩🌌💫☄️🌠
7.5/10
homesick: “these humans speak my language, still don’t understand it.”
THIS SONG...... IS MY BABY......
oh god it just breaks my heart on every listen. the image in my head is of a little girl talking to the stars.
and why does the line about her mom and dad make me wanna cry every time? i have no idea.
I BELONG IN SPACE...... FLOATING WITH DEBRIS.......
i’m sure she’s not the first person to ever use this metaphor for mental illness, expressing the alienation of mental illness (especially one as stigmatized and misunderstood as bpd) by talking about LITERAL aliens sdkjfsdfksd, but she does it SOOOOO well and sincerely that it feels like it’s uniquely hers.
the rick & morty sample is so funny and so weird and so madison. i will probably never watch an episode of that show in my life.
10000000000/10 this song is the loml
selfish: “shouldn’t love you but i couldn’t help it, had a feeling that you never felt it.”
my absolute favourite of all of the singles, noooo question about it. it’s a perfect, perfect, perfect song.
two years, alone on new years’, nightclubs, gemini... women writing lyrics with very specific details about the shitty men that the song is about... it’s everything to me.
this song will just NEVER age. every time i listen to it, it’s like the first time all over again.
10/10
sour times: “don’t know what song of mine you heard that made you think i’d want to spend the night with you.”
home with you’s big sister<3
not the strongest lyrics, but the concept and production are more than strong enough to carry the song.
she came on this bitch mad as hell
also love that this have been another fan favourite, seemingly??
men gross
9/10
boyshit: “don’t know how to talk or communicate, we’re so on and off, to you it’s a game.”
it took me awhile to get into this when it was a single ngl, probably because it came out the same night as evermore sjdknfsfnkjsd, but once i got into it, it became the best song ever
she’s soooo reliable with her “men ain’t shit” songs ugh
8.5/10
baby: “i’m a handful but that’s what hands are for.”
when this came out as a single it was the only thing i listened to for a solid week and a half. just an excellent song. the chorus is evvverrryttthhhiiinnnnggg.
WHAT IS IT SO CATCHY FOR?
9.5/10
stained glass: “my life’s a still fading memory of what i can’t have, and everything ’round me is starting to fade into black, but black and white is so much better, i’m learning how to hide my colours.”
i’m so surprised by how much non-stans seem to love this omg, it’s never been a fav of mine, as much as i still love it
but i’m obsessed with how different and distinctly madison it is
also this is a much more genuine take on the “pls stop being mean to me just bc i’m famous / you don’t know what people are going through” type of song than most of the others i’ve ever heard. her pain is evident, and the soft “i just might break” is just..... </3
the glass breaking and little scream are so good
she loves a good metaphor and so do i!
7.5/10
emotional bruises: “how do i word this? was about to write you this letter, but it was just curses in cursive, you probably deserve it.”
this was definitely my most anticipated song along with everything happens for a reason, like i listened to the snippet on repeat CONSTANTLY lmao. and the full song definitely lived up.
the scribbling sound is so fun, i love her obsession with little real-life sound effects
10/10
everything happens for a reason: “i still can’t find a reason you’d wanna hurt me so bad.”
THIS SONG IS VERY MUCH EVERYTHING
again, this was for sure one of my most anticipated songs and just kjsadsdkajsm god i love love love it
i think she posted a video one time of the song over a clip of the mermaids from peter pan and it was so pretty and i still picture that video when i hear this song. it’s just soooooo hazy and dreamy and retro and perfect.
also the song on the album where she got to show off her vocals the most. she found her niche with this song, truly.
100/10
channel surfing/the end: “YOU’REBADFORMYHEALTHISHOULDPROLLYKEPTSOMEHELPICANTCONTROLMYSELFIMADDICTEDOTHEHELL”
oh my god i was FLOOOOOORED at the dear society clip. dear society was and is one of my FAVOURITE songs, and i appreciate her reasoning for not including it on the album (just wanting some space for a new song instead of one we’d already had for so long), but it did hurt a lil. i was so happy she found a little way to include it :’) rip to hurts like hell tho since she didn’t get the same treatment sjdnksd.
the channel surfing is also just such a fun concept for an outro.
and her laughing with her producers at the end followed by such a sweet calming tropical instrumental...... oooo it’s so nice, it feels like the calm after the storm.
10/10
overall, this album was just SO worth the wait, it’s so fantastic, it’s the loml, one of my favourite albums ever. i LOVE that it’s helped anyone with BPD feel seen and understood, and as someone who doesn’t have bpd but has a couple of loved ones who do, the emotions she expressed in these lyrics have helped me to understand this disorder more too. just such a special album.
most of the criticism i’ve seen of the album has been that it’s overproduced, and that’s definitely criticism that i understand, bc it IS heavy on the technical side and some people just don’t like very heavy production, buuuut... some people do! i do! madison does! and heavy production does not automatically make an album bad. this type of production isn’t something that i expect her to move away from, because it’s clearly her thing, and maybe that just means her place in the industry will be more with the heavy heavy pop fans and maybe even in more hyperpop circles. i also think it’s SUPPOSED to be overproduced; it’s supposed to be a mess of emotions and sometimes a little chaotic. she executed it very well.
i hope by the time her next album is out, people will stop comparing her to like every single artist out there. some reviewers seem determined to pigeonhole her and compare her to every female artist under the sun, which feels like an absolute disservice to me. she is influenced by many different people and they comes out in her music, as it does any artist’s because everybody has their inspirations, but her sound is VERY much her own. as someone who has liked her for years, i can absolutely feel her essence in each song and nobody else’s.
a 10/10 album and such an amazing, promising debut<3

:D You might not have even heard or seen some of these shows buuut: Klance and Hunay from Voltron; Starco and Tomco from Star Vs The Forces Of Evil; Zelink from Legend of Zelda; Korrasami from Legend of Korra; Julerose and Kimax from Miraculous Ladybug; NaruHina from Naruto; Kobato x Fujimoto from Kobato; Taki x Mitsuha from Kimi No Na Wa; Sanvers, Supercorp and Karolsen from Supergirl; Shiroshipping from Pokemon BW ^_^
Aaaah, thank you so much, Jenna!!! *huggles*
I have actually heard of all of these except for Kobato, butI had to refer to my old friend Google to decipher some of the ships because Idid not know what characters they referred to. XD It was a good distraction andI enjoyed it! ;;w;;
My answers got kinda long, so they’re blow the cut to savedashboards everywhere.
Sendme more ships~
~.~
Klance and Hunay fromVoltron: I’ve only seen two episodes (plus a whole lot of spoilers on mydashboard) and so far I don’t really have any ships for Voltron. But based onwhat I’ve seen of these two and what we’ve talked about, I can totally getbehind these ships~ They’ve got a lot of cuteness to offer. >w
Starco and Tomco fromStar Vs The Forces Of Evil: I’ll admit I’m confused about what this show isactually about. It looks kinda interesting, from what I’ve seen, but I justcan’t wrap my head around it. Probably because I haven’t really looked toodeeply into it. It’s just very confusing to me for some reason. XD
Aaaaaaw, I found some posts that explained why people shipStarco and they sound like an adorable mutually supportive duo~
Okay, so there was this reallycute Beauty and the Beast AU for Tomco and I am ashamed to admit how muchof a sucker I am for that kind of AU. *sobbing*
Even after reading through pages of fanart and headcanonsand theories, I still can’t figure out what exactly this show is about or whothese characters are. //bricked But these ships look cute, so why the heck not?Sure, I could probably ship them. They seem like something I could get behind.XD (*whispers* why not ot3? ;P //shot)
Zelink from Legend ofZelda: It’s funny I should find this in my inbox because I often thinkabout this ship. XD My only knowledge of this series is what I’ve gathered fromgaming videos on Youtube and what my older brother has told me about it. Ireally love the dynamics between Zelda and Link, so I am definitely on board!
Korrasami from Legendof Korra: Okay, so I’ve never actually watched this show because I think Ilost interest by the time I heard it was coming out? It was a long time ago. Idon’t really remember much more than the fact that I kept seeing ads for itEVERYWHERE. Anyway, fastforward to the present: I’ve seen some posts talkingabout this ship and stuff from the show, and I watched that clip from thefinale that everyone was squeeing over (because I was curious and wanted to seefor myself if it was true). If I was ever really into that show, I couldprobably ship it. *nods* But I don’t really know that much about thecharacters, so I’m just trusting the fan speculations and analyses I’ve read.XD
Julerose and Kimaxfrom Miraculous Ladybug: I have been meaning to watch this show, but ISTILL HAVEN’T DONE IT! >.
When I looked up Julerose, I got a lot of really cute fanartand some ship war nonsense. Ignoring the ship war nonsense, the fanart alonewould make the ship worth it! And then there were some snippets from that onewebisode? Oh my goodness, adorable! >w
Oh. Oh god. Looking up Kimax hurt me. There were so manyAU’s and headcanon posts. Holy shit, my heart. I AM CRYING I’M SUCH A SUCKERFOR THIS SHIT MAN YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. IT IS SO PURE. IT GOT ME RIGHT IN THEHEARTSTRINGS.
Is this a yes to both? It seems like a yes to both. *nods*These ships are good.
NaruHina from Naruto:Ahaaa, I actually have no idea who most of the characters in this series are,but I do know of this ship and I just had flashbacks to when the manga(?) endedand the ugliest ship war broke out over how Naruto ended up with the“wrong” person at the end (not that I remember who that person was).I just. I don’t know what that was all about, but I kinda nervously shuffledaway from it because I had a feeling I didn’t want to know. But it was all overdeviantart and I couldn’t escape it.
…I should not have looked this one up. So, he did end upwith Hinata in the end? Aaaaah, well, what I’ve seen of the positive posts, it lookslike the reasons people ship it are really sweet. I don’t think I’ll try to digmuch deeper to figure out what’s really going on in this ship because I’d haveto sift through PAGES UPON PAGES of an ongoing ship war and I do tend to shyaway from ships that have intense negativity surrounding them. So, maybe underdifferent circumstances I could ship NaruHina? I mean, the basic premise soundslike something I might like. But as of the moment, I really don’t know what theheck is going on with it, since I can’t really find any good sources to explainit.
Kobato x Fujimotofrom Kobato: Since I’d never heard of this series before, I had to look upthe summary for it and they seem like a really cute ship. ;;w;; Kobato soundsprecious and the story is a very curious one. What I was able to gather fromtheir character development, I could probably ship it or at the very leastappreciate it as a ship. nvn
Taki x Mitsuha fromKimi No Na Wa: I haven’t watched this yet! But now that I kinda understandthe basic premise, I can at the very least say this ship is interesting. I hadto look up the plot summary for this one and I do find the idea fate being whatdraws them together very intriguing~ My poor heart was not prepared for how deepthe story went, though. ;;v;; This is probably a yes, but I’ll have to watch itfirst before I let my heart cry over it. XD
Sanvers, Supercorpand Karolsen from Supergirl: I meant to watch this when it came out, but Iwas too busy with school and then I kinda forgot about it for a while, oops.;;v;;
All I found for Sanvers was more salt in the tags than Icould sort out what to do with, but there was some cute stuff in there as well.Like everyone wanting them to get a dog? And I am all for that! Otherwise, Idon’t even know who these two are. All I can figure out is one of them is adetective? Guns are involved? There was something to do with a flash grenade?They’re both badass? Badass girlfriends with guns and grenades?! SURE! I CANWORK WITH THAT!
Aaaand there’s more salt in the Supercorp tag, justwonderful. u-u But… I think this is Supergirl and��� Lex Luthor’s sister? Isthat what this ship is? That’s pretty interesting. I got tired of trying tosift through the ship war nonsense, though, so I couldn’t really figure outmuch of what the chemistry between these characters are aside from how Lenaapparently is supposed to be the “villain”, but she’s doing a poorjob of it for how much she has helped Kara/Supergirl? Cool concept. If I everget around to watching this show, I’ll have to keep it in mind.
Dear lord, even in the Karolsen tag there’s ship warnonsense! The only thing I got out of this before I rage quit is that this shipis Supergirl and Jimmy Olsen, right? I have to say I’d never thought about ituntil now, but oh my goodness that sounds really cute. >w
Shiroshipping fromPokemon BW: It’s been years since I’ve actually watched any Pokemon animeand I’ve never played any of the games myself. I’ve seen you reblog posts aboutthis ship and I was curious about it because that ship name confused me. Thetag didn’t really clear any of that up for me either. XD
The fanarts and all the friends-to-lovers headcanons I sawwere really precious, though~ It looks like a pure and sweet ship, so I couldtotally get on board for it! ^^
#Ask That Dork#4 hours later and I finally finished aha ;;v;;#thank you for sending me so many to distract me~ <3
