Baby You're Out
Embracing Fate: Decoding Life's Choices in Mac DeMarco's Melody
Lyrics
Of all the things you wished you'd never done
Reflecting on regrets and actions that one wishes were never taken.
I've heard you say that this is number one
Acknowledging someone expressing that a particular action or event is the most significant regret.
Another life down another road
Contemplating a different path or life that was not chosen.
Perhaps you're better off to never know
Suggesting that ignorance of certain experiences might be better for one's well-being.
Don't dream of all the ways things could've been
Discouraging fantasies about alternate outcomes or possibilities.
Remember all the faces you let in
Recalling the people from the past who have had an impact on one's life.
Remember all the faces still unseen
Reflecting on the yet-to-be-met individuals who will play a role in the future.
Soon enough, you'll see just what I mean
Anticipating that understanding will come with time and experience.
There's nothing to cry about
Asserting that there is no reason to be upset or distressed.
'Cause baby, baby, you're out
Reassuring someone that they have moved beyond a certain situation or relationship.
You've always felt it's hard to voice complaints
Expressing difficulty in openly addressing dissatisfaction or concerns.
But what you voice is what will drive your fate
Emphasizing the importance of verbalizing thoughts as it shapes one's destiny.
And old things never really got that bad
Suggesting that past experiences were not as negative as they may have seemed.
Dreams of greener grass'll drive you mad
Cautioning against becoming obsessed with unattainable ideals.
Don't dream of all the ways things could've been
Discouraging reveries about alternative scenarios.
Remember all the faces you let in
Recalling past relationships and the impact of people who were once significant.
Remember all the faces still unseen
Acknowledging that there are still unknown individuals who will become important.
And soon enough, you'll see just what I mean
Expecting that understanding will come with the passage of time.
There's nothing to cry about
Reiterating that there is no need for tears or sorrow.
'Cause baby, baby, you're out
Reassuringly stating that the person has moved on from a particular phase or relationship.
Baby, you're out
Emphasizing the idea that the person is no longer part of a certain situation or relationship.
Baby, you're out
Repeating the assertion that the person is no longer involved or invested.
Baby, you're out
Reaffirming that the person is no longer engaged or included in a specific context.
