Comfy in Nautica Lyrics

(Try)

Try to tell me how to do it
Only because I'm new to it
Coolness is having courage
Courage to do what is right
I'll try to remember always just to have a good time

Try to show me that you know me
Do you know what coolness really is?
Winning is what you want to
Winning what you're scared to go for
You try to remember always to have a good time

Try and have a softer inside
Shut up, boy, and be a soldier
Coolness is having courage
Courage to do what's right
And try to remember always just to have a good time

Winning is what you want to
Winning what you're scared to go for
And try to remember always to have a good time

Cover art for Comfy in Nautica lyrics by Panda Bear

I think its about three types of patience The patience to explore And the patience to let someone explore All at the same time never become angry or upset At Your inexperience Someones inexperience Confidence and desire to experience Yet al the root of it all what I love is How it mentions to never become too serious And never overlook how important Humor and fun are. These are keys to life trust me.

I think in a lot of his writing you will notice one line is the the end of one thought and the begingin of another

“coolness is having courage courage to do what's right i'll try to remember always

...or it's just a song about growing up and self-relfection? sorry guys, i don't think this has anything to do with "the scene" or "hipsters" or "corporate controlled culture". i don't think he's trying to preach anything to anyone.

"I'm really stoked about the way a certain pair of shoes can make me feel," he admits. "I started thinking about coolness--I just started kind of to not like it, the whole concept of coolness. So I thought, Well maybe I'll try and come up with my own definition for it. What do I think is cool? Stuff like a guy walking an old lady across the street, I think that's cool. Good deeds--and doing good stuff for yourself and for other people, as cheesy as it sounds. So the song's a bit about that: wishing people wouldn't only feel comfy in Nautica. Feel like they needed to put on a certain brand of clothing to feel like they're awesome."

Song Meaning
Cover art for Comfy in Nautica lyrics by Panda Bear

This whole album seems to be someone who is going through a maajor self-developement period in their life, "Person Pitch" makes me think of how people "pitch" an idea, well person pitch would be giving a version of yourself a chance --- as for how that applies to the song, well, i'm not sure if he's giving advice to someone, or if its a self-directed vow, but it seems to be a list of life laws that one should strive for. i'm not sure if the "try to remember to always have a good time" is sarcastic, as in how some people block out talking about important things like death, or if its meant to take life as a joke, kind of like Monty Python's "Always Look On The Bright Side." Iono

as for the songs title, hell if i know, maybe Lennox had a sudden moment of clarity in a Nautica store.

awesome some some song

i think the nauttica part refers to nautical drifting...not sure how that fits into your interpretation but i think he takes comfort in letting go, as the taoists say, wu wei: take comfort in the nautical life of leaving attachments behind and exploring new horizons. dont fight the flow, meander with it. though i could be totally off.

This song is about figuring out how to live and how in the face of overwhelming uncertainty. The background music is meant to symbolize a sort of totalitarian mass that calls for you to fall in line with a pre-composed model of happiness, whether this call takes the form of corporate controlled culture (nautica) or hipster subversiveness (coolness).Ultimately, Lennox is saying that "coolness" is having the courage to be your self and do whatever you can to enjoy yourself. This is meant ironically, since "having a good time" cannot be the basis for a very meaningful life--yet it's the best we can do given the present circumstances. That to me is the theme of this album.

Damn, you guys are reading way too far into the "nautica" thing. It's called that because it sounds like the loop is saying "Comfy in nautica" towards the end, after the singing. It's subtle, but once you hear it, it's so obvious.

Holy shit... what?! I'm now hearing the end of this song entirely differently. But you're right.
