this version just makes this song so much more sad.

[@ag.3202]

She’s in her thirties & pure evil. She sabotages the competition by making them suicidal if they dare try to make or even listen to music. Her handler “James Blake” told me all this himself. He was quite proud. They even get huge kickbacks from Pharma for that shit. They act like they're God, deciding who gets to live and who gets to be happy, who has to be suicidal (anyone better than them). Stop supporting these evil demons

[@Mandyn8868]

[@lazygirlrants9426]

I just love how she talks about abuse in this album. All the songs that address it are soft melodious and extremely soothing ( getting older, your power, happier than ever, Goldwing) which underlines how abuse doesn't always look ugly on the surface but when you actually pay attention to the details the picture gets clearer and the sheer beauty of the whole thing makes it even more horrifying. A true genius.

Yeah, it makes me worried she doesn't want the fame anymore because it's so much pressure and everyone has her eyes on her, and honestly that's a fucking lot on anyone, especially on someone who started off in the industry so young. I love Billie, but I'm really worried about her mental health.

I'm kinda afraid, since that singing style isn't the healthiest

[@qiqisongs]

Yes. Billie is a really good vocalist, unlike what many people said, that she “only whispers”. Belting is actually easy, “whispering” with emotions is hard.

There's a lot of self-awareness and reflection in this particular song. I wish she'd talk more about what it means

[@ImK4Os]

It's not too cryptic. It's fairly easy to understand the meaning behind it

[@jaerae8144]

@@ImK4Os Well, yeah, but I meant more what her thought processes were around the song - more just anything the song didn't say, or expounding upon what it did say a little further. I don't think it's cryptic, I'd just like to hear more along her line of thought about it, such as why she decided to write it or include it in the album, etc. Like why does she think she's aging well? What particular instances is she talking about with certain lines? How did she come to the conclusions in the chorus? I understand what the lines actually say, I just have other questions. Edit: but I suppose the way I framed my comment was a little off from what I meant, lol. So, it's fine.
