03. Faith No More Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Know it sounds funny but, I just can't stand the pain
Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl you know I've done all I can
You see I begged, stole, and I borrowed, yeah, uh

That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning yeah, yeah
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know the things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me, whoa, oh babe

Eh

Oh, uh, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, yeah




That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

Overall Meaning

The song "Easy" by Faith No More is a cover of the song by the Commodores. The song is about a man who is leaving his partner because he can no longer stand the pain of their relationship. He has tried everything he can to make the relationship work, but nothing has helped, and he is now looking for an escape. He wants to be free and is looking for a way to feel good about himself and the decisions he has made.


The lyrics also express a desire to be carefree and unburdened, like Sunday mornings where there is no work or stress. The repetition of the phrase "That's why I'm easy" emphasizes the sense of freedom and ease the singer is yearning for. This upbeat and lighthearted version of the song almost celebrates the end of the relationship, rather than mourning it.


The song has become popular for its catchy melody and relatable lyrics. It has been covered by many artists and was even featured in the TV show Glee. The simplicity of the lyrics allows for a wide range of interpretations, making it a universal song for people going through difficult times in their relationships.

Yup, that's Mike Patton doing all the backup vocals and the beatboxing.

Maybe not the kind of music you like but you gotta admit...


You need to give that Bjork album a listen. Except for piano on one song, there's no instruments; all vocals...the whole damn album.
How come nobody remembers Peeping Tom? ::::

Do they still play? There was video uploaded just a couple years ago. I had tickets to see them in Vegas but they cancelled. I was pretty disappointed.

This was played at my fiancé's funeral in 2019. Faith No More were his absolute favourite band - he was in his 40's when he passed away and he still had posters of FNM all over the walls just like when he was in his 20's ❤❤❤
