Easy
Andy Abraham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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)
Ooh that's why I'm easy
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning!
Why in the world would anybody put chains on me?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it! no!
Ooh that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
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!
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, whoa
'Cause I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning, yeah
'Cause I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning
Andy Abraham's 2006 song 'Easy' can be interpreted as a break-up song where the singer is telling his partner that he is leaving them because he has tried everything to make the relationship work, but it just isn't working out. The chorus of the song, 'That's why I'm easy, I'm easy like Sunday morning' serves as an analogy for the singer's desired state - one where he is carefree and unencumbered by the trials and tribulations of the relationship. The use of the simile 'easy like Sunday morning' is particularly effective as it evokes a feeling of calm and relaxation associated with the weekend, and suggests that the singer wants a life that is similarly stress-free.
The second verse of the song suggests that the singer is not content with living his life in a way that pleases others. He adds that he has 'paid his dues' and wants to be recognised for who he truly is. The line 'I'm not happy when I try to fake it!' suggests that he has been pretending to be someone he is not, and that it is unacceptable to him. The verse ends with a line that repeats the chorus, perhaps indicating that the singer is reflecting on how he would like to live his life after leaving the relationship.
Overall, Andy Abraham's 'Easy' is a simple yet powerful song about the desire for freedom and a life without constraints. It is a relatable song that many people can connect with, particularly for those who have been in a relationship that they felt trapped in.
