Lazy
Détroit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see you're young an pretty
I know it would be so easy
Any way dark lady I feel lazy
Those afternoons are confused
I don't think that you really choose
There's even one more reason to feel lazy

While you go away
While you go away
While you go away
While you go away

I could die but I could lie
I can't deal with what's in your mind
Anyway, I'm tired and I feel lazy
You know we're both lost in maze
You're misarable, I'm so dazed
Don't you think you should feel

Suddently lazy
Lazy
Lazy

While you go away
While you go away
While you go away
While you go away

Lazy, la la la, lazy
Lazy, la la la, lazy
Lazy, la la la, lazy

While you go away




While you go away
While you go away

Overall Meaning

The song "Lazy" by Détroit portrays a feeling of indifference towards a relationship that seems to be going nowhere. The lyrics reveal a sense of lethargy and disconnection from the situation, with the singer describing themselves as feeling lazy. The song starts with the singer observing their partner, acknowledging their youth and beauty, yet being unable to summon up the energy to engage with them. The afternoons are described as "confused", indicating a lack of clarity or purpose in their relationship.


The chorus is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the phrase "while you go away". This could be interpreted as the partner physically leaving, or emotionally withdrawing from the relationship. The singer seems resigned to this, almost welcoming the breather. The lines "I could die but I could lie, I can't deal with what's in your mind" suggest a level of dread or discomfort with the partner's emotional state, almost implying that the singer would rather hide from the situation or pretend it doesn't exist.


The song ends with the repetition of the word "lazy", followed by the chorus one more time. The singer doesn't seem to offer a solution or a way out of the situation, just an acceptance of the status quo. Overall, "Lazy" is a poignant and relatable song about feeling exhausted and disconnected in a stagnant relationship.

Moi depuis que j’ai entendu son remix sur One trip one noise … je suis resté bloqué … même si ici encore, on a du très grand Cantat. Mais le remix de Zend Avesta est fabuleux 😊
