Delving into the world of introspection, Mac DeMarco presents a poignant narrative about maturing and dealing with societal pressures. The 'Blue Boy' seems to be a symbol for someone young, possibly DeMarco himself, who is overly concerned with how the world perceives him. The repeated advice to 'calm down and grow up' suggests that he should stop worrying about trivial things like his appearance and focus more on personal growth. The song also touches on the inevitability of aging - no matter how much we fear or resist it, it's a natural part of life. Ultimately, "Blue Boy" is a gentle reminder to embrace maturity and let go of unnecessary anxieties.
