MAC DEMARCO

- Salad Days Lyrics

As I'm getting older, chip up on my shoulder
Rolling through life, to roll over and die

[Scat singing]

Missing hippy Jon, salad days are gone
Remembering things just to tell ‘em so long

[Scat singing]

Oh mama, actin' like my life's already over
Oh dear, act your age and try another year

Always feeling tired, smiling when required
Write another year off and kindly resign

[Scat singing]

Salad days are gone, missing hippy Jon
Remembering things just to tell ‘em so long

[Scat singing]

Oh mama, actin' like my life's already over
Oh dear, act your age and try another year [x2]

What is the meaning behind Salad Days lyrics?


When we interpret the meaning being expressed, in 'Salad Days', Mac DeMarco through his music remarks the inevitable passing of time and the hard parts of aging. In the lines He expresses longing for the good old days ('Salad days are gone') and a hesitation to completely live like an adult ('act your age and try another year'). Through the phrase 'Salad days' the artist could mean a period of innocence and simplicity of youth, whereas adulthood with all its complications and responsibilities is the other main theme of the song. The meaning of the salad days lyrics is basically the same as expressed in reflection, nostalgia, angst, despair and heartbreak. The song, however, also points out the merits of nostalgia, the process of aging, and the importance of reflection and disillusionment. The lyrics bring up issues of aging and reflection on life which might require parental guidance for the very young children as they're not suitable for their ears. There is no profanity or particularly adult content, however, the general mood implies some sophisticated themes that justify a PG rating.
