Alison Albrecht's song "Lifeline" takes listeners through the ringer of a relationship and into the uplifting feeling of making it out and moving on. The track reflects on the drowning and sinking feeling that a romance has caused, creating feelings of isolation and even identity struggles with the lyrics admitting the speaker "lived a life that never felt like mine". The chorus is a freeing array of phrases that represent cutting things off, using metaphors and imagery to solidify that liberating finality. With healing words, this song takes you to a positive place of independence and will make you feel the pride of ending a relationship that was holding you back.
This alt-pop track takes uses the emotion from the lyrics for an incredibly powerful sound of loss and perseverance. Somber keyboard opens the song, and throughout the track different instrumentals layer in a way that feels like growth. Sad vocals bring a slow and reflective sound with a sweetly confessional tone through the verse. With a tune that tells a story itself, the singing builds in volume, showing off Alison's strong range as electronic instrumentals bring a nostalgic feeling before the chorus. Percussion adds power to the freeing feeling of moving on, and as the strong vocals layer with increasing instrumentals, this song will empower you with its motivating sound.
