Intern
Navigating Life's Maze: Angel Olsen's 'Intern' Reveals the Universal Struggle
Lyrics
Maybe you know that it's been too long
Feeling that a considerable amount of time has passed
Going through the motions as you sing your song
Engaging in routine actions while expressing oneself through music
Doesn't matter who you are or what you've done
Emphasizing the irrelevance of one's identity or past actions
Still got to wake up and be someone
Highlighting the universal need to wake up and face responsibilities
Still got to wake up and be someone
Reiterating the obligation to embrace a role or identity upon waking up
I don't care what the papers say
Disregarding media opinions and portraying an intern with a resume
It's just another intern with a resumé
Downplaying the significance of societal judgment
I am going to fall in love with you some day
Expressing a future intent to fall in love
I'm gonna fall in love and run away
Conveying a desire to experience love and escape from current circumstances
I'm gonna fall in love and run away
Repeating the aspiration to fall in love and run away
Everyone I know has got their own ideal
Observing that everyone has their own concept of an ideal life
I just want to be alive, make something real
Expressing a simple wish to be alive and create something genuine
Doesn't matter who you are or what you do
Reiterating the theme that personal identity and actions are inconsequential
Something in the work will make a fool of you
Suggesting that the pursuit of one's work or goals can lead to foolishness
Something in the work will make a fool of you
Repeating the idea that work can have a humbling or foolish impact
Pick up the phone but I swear it's the last time
Repeating the act of picking up the phone while emphasizing it's the last time
Pick up the phone but I swear it's the last time
Reiterating the notion of a final instance of picking up the phone
Falling in love and I swear it's the last time
Declaring that falling in love will happen for the last time
Falling in love and I swear it's the last time
Repeating the idea of the finality of falling in love
