Mac DeMarco - Passing Out Pieces
Watching my life, passing right in front of my eyes
Hell of a story, oh is it boring?
Can’t claim to care, never been reluctant to share
Passing out pieces of me, don’t you know nothing comes free?
What mom don’t know has taken its toll on me
It’s all I’ve seen that can’t be wiped clean
It’s hard to believe what it’s made of me
Passing my life, living it out in her sight
Listening closely, hearing her mostly
Can’t shake concern, seems that every time that I turn
I’m passing out pieces of me, don’t you know nothing comes free?
What mom don’t know has taken its toll on me
It’s all I’ve seen that can’t be wiped clean
It’s hard to believe what it’s made of me
"Passing Out Pieces" comments on who Mac has become and what his fans expect of him when they see his shows. While he is known for a crazy, kooky personality that’s made its mark on blogs, YouTube, and live shows around the world, it seems that committing 100% to being yourself creates a dichotomy with the onstage and the off; a dichotomy that pits his silly, good-natured naiveté against the experience of a two-year tried troubadour who has come a long way from Makeout Videotape.
