The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Lieferandomann" by the artist "Von Wegen Lisbeth"

In the song "Lieferandomann" ("Delivery man") by the German band Von Wegen Lisbeth, the lyrical heroine is obsessed with a stranger she idealizes. She projects her fantasies onto him, creating the image of "the most beautiful man" who appears at her doorstep at 4 am.

The entire text is built on the contrast between the banality of reality and the heroine's romantic fantasies. She sees an object of desire in an ordinary supermarket delivery man, endowing him with non-existent qualities ("he must have been selling bread and his mobile phone number", "saying: 'It's on the house, madam'"). The heroine realizes the contrived nature of her fantasies ("I know there is a possibility that other people live here. But to be honest with myself – it's not realistic"), but cannot resist them.

The image of a "sick animal" that the heroine "makes sandwiches for" symbolizes her unhealthy obsession. She "feeds" it with her fantasies, which only intensify the suffering ("it breathes, it waits, it listens to me. I want it to die, because it never gives me peace").

The chorus "I am the delivery man for the sick animal inside me" emphasizes that the heroine herself is a prisoner of her feelings. She cannot control her obsession, which only brings her pain.
