Make It Easy
3OH!3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a monster who lives under my bed
I could really use a light now, right now
That burns so bright until I'm dead.
There's a snow storm in my heart
There's an army of women tryin'a rip it apart
I could really use a getaway right away
So they could watch the tail lights fade in the dark.
If I fall apart
Take me to the start
So far it's been dark
It shouldn't be that hard
But suddenly the light is shining right in front of me
Tryin'a steal it from the sky before it leaves
Struggling is something that we shouldn't have to do
Just relax and take a breath and make it easy
Make it easy
Make it easy
There's a car crash in my eyes
There's a drunk man in my head telling me lies
I could really use some medicine to go again
But the lows get lower every time I go dry
There's a land mine in my lungs
There's a razor blade in my mouth under my tongue
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
I could really use an alibi right now
'Cause the city is alive and the night is still young
If I fall apart
Take me to the start
So far it's been dark
It shouldn't be that hard
But suddenly the light is shining right in front of me
Tryin' a steal it from the sky before it leaves
Struggling is something that we shouldn't have to do
Just relax and take a breath and make it easy
Make it easy
Make it easy
If I fall apart
Take me to the start
(Make it easy)
So far it's been dark
It shouldn't be that hard
I guess I could have held you
'Cause when I fell, I fell hard
And now I'm ready for it
Yeah all I really need's a start
Make it easy
Make it easy
If I fall apart
Take me to the start
(Make it easy)
So far it's been dark
It shouldn't be that hard
(Make it easy)
The song "Make It Easy" by 3OH!3 is a reflection of the insecurities and struggles that come with being human. The lyrics describe how the singer is plagued by a shadow and a monster that live in his head and under his bed, respectively. The metaphorical snow storm in his heart and the army of women trying to rip it apart signify the internal and external pressures that he faces. However, despite his struggles, he longs for a light that will burn bright until he is no more. He wants some medicine to continue, but the lows of life keep getting lower every time he tries.
The chorus serves as a reminder that life shouldn't be so hard. He urges everyone to relax and take a breath and make it easy, to let go of their struggles and take a step back to see the light shining in front of them. The line "struggling is something that we shouldn't have to do" sums up the main message of the song - that we should not let our struggles define us and make the journey of life harder than it needs to be.
