Lazy Night
Dieter Meier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knocking down the driest Dry Martini much too soon
Behind the clouds the sun is out of sight
In my eyes still much too bright
What the hell am I doing here
Is this planet made for me
Barman, can I get another beer
I am senseless useless wasting my time
I am senseless useless but I am feeling fine
I am senseless useless running away
I am senseless useless got nothing to say
Walking through another crazy crazy night
Knocking down the driest Dry Martini much too soon
Behind the clouds the moon is out of sight
What a waste, what a waste of an afternoon
What the hell am I doing here
Is this planet made for me
Barman, can I get another beer
Maybe later I will be able to see
I am senseless useless wasting my time
I am senseless useless but I am feeling fine
I am senseless useless running away
I am senseless useless got nothing to say

The sun is out of sight, but still a bit too bright in their eyes. The person is struggling with feelings of uselessness and wonders what they are doing on this planet. They ask for another beer and hope to gain a better perspective later.
The second verse shifts to another crazy night, where they are still drinking martinis too quickly, but this time, the moon is out of sight. They lament that the afternoon was a waste of time, but they keep running away and have nothing to say. The lyrics suggest that the person may be trapped in a cycle of hedonistic pleasures that are not fulfilling, but they are numb to the realization. They keep engaging in the same activities, seeking temporary relief from their meaningless life.
The song reflects the struggles that people face when they feel lost and out of place in the world.

Line by Line Meaning
Walking through another crazy lazy afternoon
Walking around on an uneventful and unproductive afternoon
Knocking down the driest Dry Martini much too soon
Drinking a cocktail too quickly without fully enjoying it
Behind the clouds the sun is out of sight
Sun is hidden behind the clouds and not visible
In my eyes still much too bright
Sun is still too bright for the singer's eyes
What the hell am I doing here
Questioning why the singer is in their current situation
Is this planet made for me
Asking if they belong on this planet or if they fit in
Barman, can I get another beer
Requesting another drink to continue numbing the singer's senses
Maybe later I will be able to see
Hoping that later on, the singer's perspective will change
I am senseless useless wasting my time
Feeling purposeless and unproductive
I am senseless useless but I am feeling fine
Despite being unproductive, the singer is still feeling good
I am senseless useless running away
Trying to escape from reality and responsibilities
I am senseless useless got nothing to say
Feeling like they have nothing meaningful to share or communicate
Walking through another crazy crazy night
Roaming around aimlessly on an uneventful night
Behind the clouds the moon is out of sight
Moon is not visible because it is hidden behind the clouds
What a waste, what a waste of an afternoon
Calling the afternoon a waste because of the uneventfulness
