But before you worry that we’re going deep into a dark hole of suicide angst, be sure to keep listening because you may be surprised at what follows. Another set of lyrics that sing, “hold my neck till I pass out cause I’m so sick of the self-doubt,” bear evidence of Alison’s honest portrayal of even the most challenging feelings. While the start of the track seems light and hopefully, the lyrics, “ I’m not about the safe life,” and the brooding bass soon makes it clear that this song has a deeper meaning. Next up, “ Safe Life” opens with some of Alison’s signature electric cello chords, and melodic synths layer in before the vocals add a final element. And it closes with a foreboding sound that could easily represent the final moments of a doomed spaceflight otherworldly, yet somehow grounded as well. The lyrics go along with the conflicting melodies – is it deep and dark or light and airy? Well, it’s both. “Forever” feels somewhat light, until the bridge drops in with a deep and heavy reverberating bassline. Loner opens with the previously released “ Forever.” The track itself leads in with a deep undertone and highly synthesized lyrics.
