Freaking Out the Neighborhood
Mac DeMarco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There are times I get carried away
But please don't worry
Next time I'm home, I'll still be the same
And I know it's no fun
When your first son
Gets up to no good
Starts freaking out the neighborhood
Really, I'm fine
Never been better, got no job on the line
Sincerely, don't worry
Same old boy that you hoped you would find
And I know it's no fun
When your first son
Gets up to no good
Starts freaking out the neighborhood
The song 'Freaking Out the Neighborhood' by Mac DeMarco is a tribute to his mother, who he apologizes to for the times he gets carried away. He assures her that everything is alright, and next time he's home, he'll still be the same boy she hoped he would be. However, he also acknowledges that his actions might not be pleasant for his mother and might upset the neighborhood as he gets up to no good.
Mac's indie-rock genre, mixed with synth-pop beats and his lethargic vocals, add a sense of laid-back vibe to the song, and the lyrics display a sense of self-awareness and humor. Mac's 'Freaking Out the Neighborhood' does not necessarily mean he's causing mayhem or destruction, but it can be interpreted as him exploring his creativity, trying out new things, and being a little reckless, which might be frowned upon by some people around him.

Sorry, mama
I apologize, mother
There are times I get carried away
At certain moments, I lose control of myself
But please don't worry
However, do not be alarmed
Next time I'm home, I'll still be the same
Upon my return, I will have remained unchanged
And I know it's no fun
I am aware it is unpleasant
When your first son
As the eldest child
Gets up to no good
Engages in misdeeds
Starts freaking out the neighborhood
Causes disturbance in the community
Really, I'm fine
I am truly well
Never been better, got no job on the line
My current state is excellent, and I am not under any employment pressure
Sincerely, don't worry
Truly, please do not feel anxious
Same old boy that you hoped you would find
The very same son you had hoped to see
