The Summer I Turned Pretty ● FMV | Go home - Angel Olsen (Lyrics in English)

📜 Meaning of the Lyrics:
Olsen recorded "Go Home" for Big Time, an album she wrote during the time she publicly came out as queer and experienced her first love with a woman. Weeks after Olsen came out, her mother and father passed away in rapid succession. Three weeks after her mother's funeral, she began recording, using her time to heal and cleanse.
"Go Home" explores the theme of longing for familiarity and authenticity in a constantly changing world. The lyrics convey a sense of disconnection and discomfort as Angel navigates a reality that feels strange and disconnected from her true self.
In the first verse, the mention of the world's change and the inability to reverse it reflects a larger social change or personal transformation. The truth, which cannot be rehearsed or pretended, alludes to an inner authenticity she strives to express. The phrase "it's time to live it" suggests a call to embrace that truth and live genuinely.
The chorus expresses the desire to return to a simpler way of life, symbolized by the longing to go home and devote oneself to "small things". The statement "I don't belong here, nobody knows me" reflects a sense of isolation and misunderstanding in the current environment. The repetition of "how can I go on?" highlights the internal conflict between past dreams and the present reality she faces.
The "bridge" provides contemplation on inaction and passivity witnessed in the face of destruction or change. The repetition of "we watched it all burn down and did nothing" questions the meaning of allowing things to crumble before realizing their importance. The lyrics indicate a yearning for meaning and question why extreme circumstances are often needed to provoke reflection and action.
In the second verse, she expresses a conflict between her external appearance and internal emotions, feeling like someone else while still striving to persist ("trying, trying"). The line "I'm dancing, baby, but I feel like dying" juxtaposes external movements of joy or celebration with an internal sense of despair or emptiness.
The final chorus reiterates the longing to return to a simpler existence and emphasizes the feeling of not being understood by others. The repeated statement "nobody knows me" reflects a desire for genuine recognition and acceptance.
The song ends with the acknowledgment of a new perspective or opportunity ("I got a new thing"). This may indicate a glimmer of hope or a new beginning, suggesting that despite the challenges expressed throughout the song, there may still be potential for growth and finding a sense of belonging.

🎶 Original Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
The world is changing
You can't reverse it
The truth is with you
You can't rehearse it
Pretend to know it
It's time to live it
That's how you show it
Baby, we're in it
[Chorus]
I wanna go home
Go back to small things
I don't belong here
Nobody knows me
How can I go on?
With all those old dreams
I am the ghost now
Living those old scenes
[Bridge]
We watched it all burn down and did nothing
Nothing
Why does it come to this to mean something?
To mean something
We watched it all burn down and did nothing
Nothing
Why does it come to this to mean something?
To mean something

[Verse 2]
I feel like someone else
But I'm still trying
Trying, trying
I'm dancing, baby
But I feel like dying
[Verse 3]
Dying to find out
If we can't make it
I hope you show up
In time to face it
[Chorus]
I wanna go home
Go back to small things
I don't belong here
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
[Verse 4]
I am the ghost now
Walking those old scenes
How can I go on?
Forget the old dream
I got a new thing
I got a new thing
