This song’s lyrics are mostly spoken; only the chorus, and one repeated verse, is sung. It’s about Jake Holmes coming to terms with reaching twenty-five, and the fact of him becoming a young adult and seeing his age-peers shouldering adult responsibilities. His reconciliation with the fact of his aging is characteristically bittersweet.

A blog with capsule descriptions of the songs by Jake Holmes that have been judged to be from his most seminal period. There's a lot more to the fellow's repetoire than "Dazed and Confused."
