Easy
Alain Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the place of love and joy, although
From a time where things are slow
From a place you might not know
Calm was the day
Calm was the day
Oh my mind is full of worries
I gotta find me a backdoor
And let in some air
See how that feels
Easy, oh easy
Come into my life and never leave me
Easy, oh easy
Easy
Oh, most of time my head is full of things that I can’t control
I can’t control them
I don’t sleep at night of fear I might waste my precious time
I cannot stay behind, I got the…
House, job, kids, money, honey, bills
All kinds of worries
Yeah
I want a stress-free living
Gotta learn to chill
I gotta get them worries off my mind
Easy
Easy, oh easy
Come into my life and never leave me
Easy, oh easy
When will I be ready? (yeah)
Easy, oh easy (come on over easy)
Come into my world and never leave me
Easy, oh easy
Easy
Oeh I got my…
House, job, kids, money, honey, bills
All of these worries, yeah
I want a stress-free living
Gotta learn to chill
I gotta learn to let it go
Ooh
This is the life I lead
It’s not a fantasy
Always worrying
always in a hurry
Always stressing out
I gotta become easy
I gotta become easy
Easy, yeah
This is the life I lead
Unbelievable, but true
Imma gonna fix it today
Fix it today
The song begins with the singer expressing his desire to escape and find a better world that he believes in. He acknowledges that he is currently in a slow and unfamiliar place, and that his mind is constantly filled with worries that he cannot control. He then laments about his house, job, kids, money, bills, and a significant other, all of which are sources of stress in his life. He longs for an easy and stress-free existence and hopes to find a way to let go of all his worries.
The chorus provides a glimmer of hope as the singer invites 'easy' into his life and pleads for it to never leave him. He desires a stress-free existence without worry and struggles with the balance of control and freedom - knowing that he cannot forget about his responsibilities and worries completely, but longing to be less stressed and be more present. The song ends with the singer committing to fix his worries and make a change in his life.
Overall, the song is about someone who is overwhelmed with their day-to-day life and seeks an escape. They long for a stress-free existence and are willing to make changes to achieve it. 'Easy' represents the idea of letting go of control and stress, and embracing a more laid-back and carefree lifestyle.
