This lyrical composition by Angel Olsen delves into the complexities of human relationships and self-identity. The narrator expresses a profound fascination for an individual, described metaphorically as a 'crazy acrobat' and a 'witch', indicating their captivating and enigmatic persona. This admiration extends to the point of emulation, reflecting the universal human desire to embody traits found attractive in others. The recurring affirmation "I am alive" underscores a personal epiphany or awakening, possibly linked to her connection with this individual. Furthermore, the protagonist's aspiration to be 'made out of love' and 'into life' suggests a longing for emotional fulfillment and existential purpose. Finally, the song subtly critiques moralistic judgment ("Who cares? I'm not a moralist"), emphasizing personal authenticity over societal norms.
