Leisure
Phox Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All this leisure
Got me tired
Got me tired
I could come and meet ya
But I might wander(?)
And you would wonder

Hold your tongue

We're having all the fun
Nowhere to run
So we just stay in bed

All this good lovin'
Got me tired
Got us tired
I could come and meet ya
But you were a bother(?)
So just don't bother

Hold your tongue
We're having all the fun
Nowhere to run
So we can stay in bed
Ohh

All this leisure
Got me
tired
All this (this)

All this leisure

Got me tired
Mmm

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to PHOX's song "Leisure" seem to reflect the exhaustion that comes with the luxury of having so much free time that one becomes bored and restless. The repetition of the phrase "All this leisure got me tired" emphasizes this sense of ennui and monotony. The singer of the song seems to be someone who is offered the option of hanging out with someone (presumably a romantic interest), but is too listless to seize the opportunity: "I could come and meet ya, but I might wander / And you would wonder." It's possible that the singer feels too drained to make any effort, or that they are conscious of bringing the other person down with their malaise.

There is also a feeling of defiance in the chorus, with the singer declaring "Hold your tongue / We're having all the fun / Nowhere to run / So we just stay in bed." This could suggest a bit of self-deception or self-delusion, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that they are content with their current state, even though they are clearly not. The repeated phrase "All this good lovin' got me tired" could also suggest that the singer has recently been in a fulfilling relationship, but that even that is not enough to keep them from feeling fatigued.
