"I chose the love of strangers
I chose the fickle crowd
and the woman I wagered
won't look at me right now
not now"

Cara untuk mengetahui apa yang ada di otak Robin Pecknold saat membuat lagu adalah dengan menjadi Robin Pecknold. Semenjak Helplessness Blues ia banyak sekali bercerita tentang kehidupannya, pengalaman pribadinya juga pandangannya tentang semesta. Di sesi wawancara untuk Rolling Stone ia mengatakan bahwa ia membangun Helplessness Blues dari serangkaian pertanyaan tentang keberadaannya, ia mengaku albumnya kali itu lebih ekstensialis. Tapi sekali lagi, semua tidak lepas dari pandangan personalnya soal sesuatu. Semua bagi Robin Pecknold adalah tentang dirinya. Tidak pernah lepas dari itu. Layaknya musik-musik folk yang lain, ia bercerita dan kali ini ia bercerita tentang sesuatu yang sangat pribadi dan mendalam bagi dirinya, tentang "Olivia", siapapun itu yang menjadi gemerlap diantara kerumunan baginya.
so this is how it ends
in separate beds
a wall between us
and this is how it dies
separate our lives
and hope it heals us
I chose the love of strangers
I chose the fickle crowd
and the woman I wagered
won't look at me right now
(not now)
I know I've been like a house cat
give me this, give me that
and I know I'll be okay
but beg for my attention
a word from my affection
I just stare and walk away
how can I show you
I'd do all I could do
to show you I adore you?
Olivia
and the days go by
in a supplicated style
hand me the anodynes
oh, Olivia
I still love you
and I know I will
'til I die
and this feels like
common madness
why this wasted life?
come to me
the photographer is lucky
does he even know my name?
does he know I'd give it all up
if I only could be here?
but I used all my chances
(and a few after that)
now I'm floating in the ashes
Olivia
and the days go by
in a supplicated style
hand me the anodynes
oh, Olivia
I still love you
and I know I will
'til I die
and this feels like
common madness
why this wasted life?
