Lazy
Kim Fox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it ain't the secret to my happiness
Why can't we ever stay at home
And party with the world alone?
Where you running, oh, baby, where you running
Oh, darling, where to?
So come on, baby
And let's do nothing together
Always going somewhere
Why can't we go nowhere?
And let's do nothing together
They want you, they need you, they're calling for you
It's the perfect excuse to sleep away the afternoon
A back rub and a bottle of wine
So much to do, but we've got time
Where you running, oh, baby, where you running
Oh, darling, where to?
So come on, baby
Let's be lazy
And let's do nothing together
Always going somewhere
Why can't we go nowhere?
And let's do nothing together
I don't care what's your name or what's your title
Or if you're in fashion
For today, can we just forget who we are?
Can we be undefined?
Be undefined
Baby, I'd never want to bring you down
But can I help it if I just like hanging around?
So let's do nothing together
The song "Lazy" by Kim Fox is about the desire to disconnect and be lazy with someone you love. The lyrics suggest that success and happiness are not necessarily linked, and sometimes the best thing to do is to stay at home and enjoy each other's company. The first verse talks about the different paths that people take in life and how they may lead to different kinds of fulfillment. The singer, however, is looking for something simpler and more intimate. The chorus then repeats the idea of being lazy and doing nothing together, which is presented as an antidote to the pressures of the outside world.
The second verse introduces the concept of being wanted or needed by others, which can become overwhelming. The singer suggests that instead of always responding to those calls, it would be better to take some time to relax and enjoy each other's company. The song then presents the image of a back rub and a bottle of wine, which are both symbols of intimacy and relaxation. The bridge of the song takes on a more philosophical tone, questioning the importance of labels and definitions. The singer suggests that for once, they should forget about titles and identities and just be undefined. This is then followed by a repetition of the chorus and the suggestion that being lazy together is the best way to escape from the pressures of everyday life.
Overall, the song is about the importance of taking time to enjoy the simple things in life, especially in the company of someone you love. It suggests that success and ambition are not the only ways to find meaning and happiness, and that sometimes it's okay to just be lazy and enjoy each other's company.
