on that note who wants my personal thoughts on every song on the album. nobody? i don't care here are the first few songs IF YOU READ THESE AND REALIZE YOU KNOW ME IRL LIKE HTE POST SO I CAN BLOCK YOU IMMEDIATELY.

what's wrong with me — my no1 pick tbh i knew it would be my favorite on the album since she sang it live. just a great song overall very 2000s rock not as intense as guts but not as losergirl as sour..feels very genuinely tragic. maybe influenced by my love for the cure (band) and robert smith and also the just absolute flex it is to have your ex's hero as your first ever feature artist + the fact that the cure is a SONG on the ALBUM..favorite lyric i didn't think it was that strong lyrically but the chorus was just so pretty and sad and i thought it embodied the entire album very well. tried meditation with a bottle of wine was a good one and then i liked the rhyme scheme between "it's like somebody put a weight on my chest / i should talk to a friend / but i can't get out of bed"! one of my favorite olivia songs period

the cure — also a no1 pick again mayhaps influenced by my love for the cure (band) but i thought this was one of her strongest songs in terms of lyrics. again very 2000s coded for me..her rhyming game was also really strong with this album (ignore begged i'll get to that later), i loved the bridge and the concept of her reaching for those high notes for her life like you're looking back on how hard you tried to make things work even when it wasn't within your capacity but still going higher and higher like it'll "never be enough". loved the idea of a 'cure' thematically as well. maybe the it's not you it's me song of all time. back on the rhyming and lyric stuff the entire chorus was super strong for me ("and it feels like medication and it's good for me i'm sure / but it don't matter how your love feels anymore / it'll never be the cure"; she had a lot of longer rhymes on this album) with the idea of growing numb to someone else's love in the same way you might grow immune to a medicine or medication, and though it's fixing you you can't take it anymore etc etc. live version is beautiful as well

my way — fuuuuuck. very reminiscent of guts era, maybe not her strongest lyrically but it brings back a lot of memories like yes girl tell that bitch off (idek who the bitch in question is). chorus was super strong again very guts, i like the double entendre of 'my way' as in "you're in my way now" versus "it goes my way now". one of my favorite bridges on the album, also very strong rhyming wise ("so where'd you get that confidence from? / last time that i checked i won" + c(or)ashout). maybe i just love subtle female diss tracks and i didn't get that with everything's romantic or whatever taytay put out last october). it's just a fun song overall to be honest. very angry. it gets a bonus because it's in supergirl AHHHHHHH WHO'S ABOUT TO GET UP AND STREAM SUPERGIRL ME THAT'S RIGHT ME ME ME sorry back to olivia. love the guts tour reference as well (manchester i think?) for "did you get that hint" and the lacy reference in the first verse. i love you lacy!

expectations — ooh. this song for me is very post breakup post sadness run to the club and dance your troubles away escapism core. looking for love after you lost yours like you're trying to find one as soon as possible to replace the gap that's left.. this was such a switchup from all the songs before and after but this one had super song lyrics as well imo! love the subtle digs again. love how the pre-choruses line up with each other and love how this song lines up with stupid song..i like the party motif that comes back again and again. favorite lyric has got to be in the chorus again "i'm not kissing any boy that is passive / their indecision is painfully unattractive / past mistakes are just new information / these days i got expectations", bonus for the conan reference WOO vodka cran! and the lineup with "…i iwll not lose faith / …bar in silvefr lake" is just really fun. this song's just really fun to listen to tbh

drop dead — i mean you guys were here when we first talked about it you know i loved this song from the beginning. it's so cutesy falling in love with a side of nostalgia and it just got me kicking my feet and giggling..pisces and a gemini..heh..the chorus..heh.. "one night i was bored in bed / and stalked you on the internet / it's feminine intuition / but i always hada. vision of us standing like this" AGAIN THE RHYMING GAME ON THIS ALBUM begins to salivate. this song actually inspired me to write my first fic in months which is hetslop dc character x reader as some of you might know and it's really bad but it was m e getting my little feelings about true love out there I LOVE LOVE I LOVE LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT LA LA LALA LA! and then i got sad because i miss loulivia FUCKKKKKKK FUCK FUUUUUUCK the only celebrity couple i was parasocially invested in..dammit. next they'll announce the robsuki breakup and i'll end my own life. my friend read this review and told me that i act jobless. she's right.

maggots for brains — okay this one was just like so desperately obsessed stalker in love girl and i appreciated that because that's very what i want to be and what i like to see in a character in romance and love..side note i did think that olivia said something that she was not allowed to say in the title when i first saw it especially with the acronym for the album title and i was like sorry WHAT did you just call me was the breakup so bad that conan had to give her the pass or..but then i read it and i was like okay! sorry. wrong word. fuckkk…"but that's just a thing that happens when my / when my baby goes away" i LOVE LOSERGIRL OLIVIA I LOVE YOU LOSERGIRL OLIVIA..SMILING AND LAUGHING anyway on a more heartbreaking thought it's like the maggots in her brain rotting away so she can't see that it's not working..so it eats away at her leading into the next section of the album.."what can i do / but think of you" and then cigarette smoke is about not wanting to think about him..olivia rodrigo how do you make me glad that i'm romantically attracted to men how do you do it

less — GRAH GRAH GRAH my FAVORITE lyrics on that damn album i'm going to fuck a wall. anyway let me attach the image because i can't write it all out without feeling sad..recreating a first date to try to feel the magic again but you can't because it's not there anymore..like losing childhood innocence and the spark of a new first love..death of innocence and all good things..godlivia. "i wish i wish i wish you loved me less" i wish i wish i wish i could kill myself right now..so in line with the cure they're such good parallels. the cure is about feeling like love isn't doing anything for you anymore knowing that the medication isn't doing anything..less is about despite all that wishing that the other person um okay. louis. wishing that louis would love her less so he wouldn't notice that she's not happy anymore so he'd stay so she could try to 'fix herself' I'M GOING TO TAKE MY OWN LIFE
