Jack-Ass Lyrics

Cover art for Jack-Ass lyrics by Beck

Although I don't really have a definite, well-structured idea what this song means, I like it just for the mood that Beck is able to convey from the sounds and words. It feels really mellow and lazy, like a walk down a dusty worn path with nothing but a suitcase in hand and your jacket strung over your back. If I could take a stab at the meaning, I'd say it's about the general laziness we all feel from time to time and how things go so slow when you are idle and have nothing on your mind. I think it's about reflecting while coming out of a state of idleness and heading nowhere.
