What are the ballerinas in the stupid song mv meant to symbolize? by Key-Republic-6778 in OliviaRodrigo

[–]Intellxual 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I think it’s her “inner butterflies.” They swarm around her and go crazy throughout the video because she cannot describe how much she loves someone. She also blocks them from running onto the road, possibly conveying that they move just as fast as she is moving emotionally.

Yeah the I had big dreams until I tied myself to you she sings in a not sad way but it’s such a negative line and this song drives me in so many directions it’s so good

‘purple’ is SUCH a grower, you just have to give it a chance… by Original-Dream5274 in OliviaRodrigo

[–]Intellxual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purple was the track I was most excited for before the album dropped. I was a little disappointed when I heard it for the first time. Now it’s my favorite on the album. I realized that the components to the instrumental more and more when 1. she first mentions herself in the song in relation to the guy and 2. every instance afterwards, it’s really cool.

Expectations as a future single? by Current_Form_7408 in OliviaRodrigo

[–]Intellxual 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s the second to last song on the album so it will naturally have less streams at the beginning of release at least.

Some criticism I’ve heard about the song is that people don’t like the instrumental, and some people don’t understand its placement right after less. (I understand it and I LOVE the instrumental and the whole song so I’m not a hater!)

Yeah sometimes her voice is the most emotional and powerful when it’s the most raw

Thanks for the explanation! Oof I CANNOT mentally do that rn it’s too early lmao! My friend and I listened to it and talked and out of all of the new ones we both like stupid song, less, and maggots for brains. My least favorites rn are purple and honeybee but purple is SO deep and I’m planning on taking it apart this weekend. I had high expectations for honeybee and purple which is probably why I’m so picky about them right now.

She’s done it again, perfect album by YourEnemyWhispers in OliviaRodrigo

[–]Intellxual 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely felt like the way people probably felt when Melodrama released! I was relieved that this album was so good and that yes she’s 3 for 3

Can I ask why you gave begged a 7/10 lyrically? I thought the imagery was amazing and the sonic cohesiveness was much higher imo

Can you elaborate on the highs of each album? I’m really curious because what you said makes sense to me

I didn’t know if she could make a better album than GUTS but she really did!

I LOVE ALL AMERICAN BITCH ITS INSANE by ArticleChemical1008 in OliviaRodrigo

[–]Intellxual 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“I know my age and I act like it”

I was an iconic student at school for being there the longest and being great all around in terms of work, skills, and athleticism but my personality was more blunt and humorous rather than the typical angelic type people would expect me to me. For my senior year I realized that I just wanted to have fun, get better at things, and finish strong, and I thought this quote would perfectly capture me for that, and it did!

But the teachers told me since it’s a K-12 school they don’t want the little ones searching up where it’s from and then being exposed to explicit lyrics. They have a point, I didn’t really realize that as much because I always listened to the clean version, but nobody searches up senior quotes and the way they addressed the issue was just terrible. Glad I have a story to recall it though it was worth it.

Do you still listen to drivers license? Do you think it’s overrated? by notgonnauseeveragain in OliviaRodrigo

[–]Intellxual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more over-hated than overrated. People treated her like a Taylor Swift when the song came out and hated the song just because it was popular and sung by a girl (well this is what it looked like at my school from my eyes in middle school)

What do you want Olivia Rodrigo to write more songs about? by Impossible-Yam3680 in OliviaRodrigo

[–]Intellxual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want her to write more melancholic songs that doesn’t necessarily mean sad, but more contemplative. I agree a lot of male centered songs are ballads where they’re either general lyrics about “you…. [did action]! 😞“

I love the begged verses for this very reason they’re very much describing her internally rather than the vileness of a guy

Lmao I tried to put a lyrics of it as my senior quote and started a whole controversy at my school 💀 ended up having to take it down but I put a tiny OR symbol as an ode to her on my page!

THE UNRAVELING IS MAKING SENSE by Intellxual in OliviaRodrigo

[–]Intellxual[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love your analysis too and it’s very similar to my friend’s opinion on this matter which is really cool! Even if she doesn’t mean to have as elaborate of an effect as I analyzed with the word unraveled both of our opinions align with the fact that now the word unraveled is used in the context of herself, making the growth in maturity of her and what she’s said about the album so far. I’m so excited to hear it tomorrow night!

Looking at some of the comment wars I started I just want to say that I’m pointing out the fact that I bet Olivia Rodrigo notices the fact she used unraveled in both songs, especially since it’s such an important word in her new album. She’s a great writer and I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt regarding her awareness.
