The Lazy Song
Ibiza Sundownaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like pickin' up my phone,
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything,
Nothing at all
I'm gonna kick my feet up and stare at the fan
Nobody's gonna tell me I can't
I'll be loungin' on the couch, just chillin' in my snuggie
Flip to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle, I'm the freaking man
Oh, yes I said it, I said it, I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like pickin' up my phone,
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything,
Nothing at all
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh)
Nothing at all
Tomorrow I wake up do some p90x
Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out, "This is great!"
Yeah, I might mess around and get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry, pops, you'll just have to wait
Oh, yes I said it, I said it, I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like pickin' up my phone,
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything,
No I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't goin' anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no-no-no, no
I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah
Oh, yes I said it, I said it, I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like pickin' up my phone,
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything,
Nothing at all
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh)
Nothing at all
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh)
"The Lazy Song" by Ibiza Sundownaz is a lighthearted song about taking a break from the stresses of daily life and indulging in some much-needed relaxation. From the opening lines, the singer establishes that he has no interest in doing anything productive or responsible: "Today I don't feel like doing anything / I just wanna lay in my bed / Don't feel like pickin' up my phone / So leave a message at the tone." He goes on to mock the idea of effort or ambition, claiming that he is content to lounge around and do nothing: "I'm gonna kick my feet up and stare at the fan / Turn the T.V. on, throw my hands in my pants / Nobody's gonna tell me I can't / I'll be loungin' on the couch, just chillin' in my snuggie."
The tone of the song is playful and carefree, with the singer portraying himself as a rebel who refuses to be bound by society's expectations. He boasts that he is "the freaking man" in his own "castle," and he revels in the idea of doing whatever he wants, whether it's watching MTV or strutting around naked. While the lyrics may seem flippant at first glance, they speak to a universal desire to take a break from the pressure to succeed and simply relax.
