New Age Girl
Axe Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An environmentalist girl (Does she ride a bike)
She has crystal necklace (She spend a lot of cash)
Though her vibes are rather reckless (She′s heading for a crash)
Oh her flowing skirt is blowing in a transcendental wind
And she wonders without knowing where did she begin.
Mary Moon... she's a vegetarian (Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Septuagenarians (Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Oh, she loves me so
She hates to be alone
She don't eat meat
But she sure like the bone
You knew she drives a wind car (How does she like it)
It doesn′t get her far (Why doesn′t she bike it)
But it gets her to where she's going to
(I don′t know, I don't know, I don′t know)
Where that is, I wish I knew
I don't know where she′s going
And I don't know where she's been
All I know that loving her has gotta be a sin
Mary Moon... she′s a vegetarian (Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Mary Moon... will outlive all the
Septuagenarians (Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Oh, she loves me so
She hates to be alone
She don′t eat meat
But she sure like the bone
Mary Moon will you hesitate
Don't segregate your thought from your emotions
I know that devotion isn′t way up there
Mary Moon... she's a vegetarian (Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Mary Moon... will outlive all the
Septuagenarians (Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Mary Moon... she′s an intellectual (Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Mary Moon... despite that fact remains
Quite sexual (Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Mary Moon... she's the one for me, me, yeah
The song "New Age Girl" by Axe Men is a playful and quirky tribute to a woman who embodies the ethos of the countercultural New Age movement of the 1990s. The song describes a free-spirited woman who is deeply committed to environmentalism, vegetarianism, and spiritual exploration. The lyrics are full of tongue-in-cheek references to her unconventional habits and beliefs, such as her crystal necklace, flowing skirt, and wind car. The chorus of the song features the repeated refrain "Mary Moon," which serves as a nickname for the titular New Age girl.
The first verse of the song introduces the listener to the New Age girl and gives a brief description of her appearance and habits. The second verse delves further into her personality, describing her as loving and sociable, yet fiercely independent. The third verse offers a more existential perspective, suggesting that the New Age girl may be searching for something greater than herself and that her path is unpredictable and perhaps even perilous. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the singer's affection for Mary Moon and underscores her unique appeal.
Overall, the song is a lighthearted celebration of individualism and nonconformity, as embodied by the New Age girl. The playful lyrics, catchy melody, and upbeat tempo make it an enduring favorite among fans of alternative rock and pop.
