Song Meaning of “Ronnie & Mags” by NOFX
Ronnie & Mags is a track from the punk band NOFX’s 1986 album So What If We’re on Mystic. Its content shows the usual NOFX attitude towards life: nonconformist, sarcastic and centered around the punk lifestyle. The song is about two characters, Ronnie and Mags, who share the same punk philosophy and lifestyle. They are considered to be outsiders by society but they are free-spirited and refuse to conform to the norms. The chorus contains the line “out of control, like our dreams”. This line suggests that even though Ronnie and Mags choose to live life on their own terms, they still have the same dreams as anyone else. They are searching for something more than just a 9 to 5 job and mundane lifestyle.
At the same time, the song wants to emphasize that this ‘punk’ attitude of both Ronnie and Mags isn’t something exotic or special. Ronnie and Mags represent a lot of free-spirited people, and this is a reminder to stay true to yourself and follow your own path. The song could be seen as an anthem for those who want to live differently from the majority and choose their own path.
