Lazy
Drexel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes me feel fine, makes me feel good
Two AM thinking of where i'm gonna go
What I'm gonna do nothing in my head
Maybe i'm hungry
Me and Jeff we sleep all day
Chris and Farleigh live downstairs
I like TV its real good
Afternoon get out of bed
Trying to find things in my head
But I already know
I can't think before two
Caz and Dave smoke too many cigarettes
Dan Stoppelman He's OK
The song "Lazy" by Drexel is an ode to laziness and the appeal of doing nothing all day. The lyrics describe the feeling of being lazy as something that brings joy and comfort to the singer. The singer talks about spending his days sleeping and watching TV with his friends, Jeff, Chris, and Farleigh. While he sometimes thinks about what he should be doing, ultimately he finds satisfaction in doing nothing at all.
The song also touches on the idea that sometimes being lazy can lead to creative thinking. The singer admits to struggling to come up with ideas earlier in the day, but finds that his mind starts working better after two in the afternoon. The reference to "trying to find things in my head" suggests that even though he's not doing much physically, he's still processing ideas and thoughts in his own way.
The mention of his friends smoking too many cigarettes and Dan Stoppelman being "okay" provides a glimpse into the singer's social circle and adds some context to his lifestyle. Overall, the song celebrates the simple pleasure of being lazy and not having to do anything, while acknowledging that there are occasional moments of self-doubt and questioning.

Being lazy all the time makes me feel good
Indulging in my docile instinct is satisfying for me
Makes me feel fine, makes me feel good
Being unenergetic fills me up with joy and pleasure
Two AM thinking of where i'm gonna go
Contemplating destinations with no inclination to move
What I'm gonna do nothing in my head
Having no plans, my mind stays empty
Maybe i'm hungry
Wondering if the feeling to eat is genuine, if not just another state of indolence

Jeff and I spend most of our day in bed

I appreciate that hot tamales make excellent cuisine
Afternoon get out of bed
Moving out of bed can only be afforded during the afternoon
Trying to find things in my head
Struggling to fill my mind with some thoughts
