Lazy Bones
Stone Gods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you need me to say I’m wrong to make you know that you’re right
Take whatever you need from me tonight
Even if it’s just waiting for the quiet times that you like
Come on let’s make this better
Dark days and heavy weather
Hidden away and covered up
If it’s just holding on for something good to turn up, alright
If it’s just picturing the better times with hindsight
Take whatever you need from me tonight
Even if it’s just waiting for the quiet times that you like
Come on let’s make this better
Dark days and heavy weather
My lazy bones are broken up
Hidden away and covered up
Solo
Ooooooooh…..my lazy bones
Ooooooooh…..my lazy bones
Aaaaaaaah…….my lazy bones
Aaaaaaaah
Come on let’s make this better
Dark days and heavy weather
My lazy bones are broken up
Hidden away and covered up
Come on let’s make this better
Dark days and heavy weather
My lazy bones are broken up
Hidden away and covered up
If it’s just waiting for the quiet times that you like
The lyrics of Stone Gods' song Lazy Bones are introspective and melancholic, displaying a feeling of loneliness and the desire for a partner to rely on. The first verse suggests that the singer's partner has certain needs that they can't find within their own self-assurance, and that the singer is willing to provide those needs, even if it means sacrificing their own opinion or desire. The repeated phrase "Even if it’s just waiting for the quiet times that you like" emphasizes the importance of being there for their partner, even in the seemingly little moments.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is feeling broken and depleted themselves. The line "Hidden away and covered up" can be interpreted to mean that the brokenness is not evident to the people around them, but it's there. The chorus repeats, the singer calling on their partner and themselves to make things better in the face of "dark days and heavy weather."
Finally, the song ends with a repetition of "my lazy bones," suggesting that the singer feels stuck and unmotivated, possibly in a downward spiral. The repeated plea to "make this better" is possibly a call to action not only for their partner but for themselves to change their ways and break out of their slump.
