Easy
Curious Fools Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me, have you heard
The lesson that I had to learn?
You gotta realize, You're criticized
For putting truth in words

CHORUS
And if I ever wanted
Anything to free me

I'd just break right down
No scream and shout
Shut my mouth
Lay out, and take it easy

Listen to what I say
Every word has a price to pay
But with every line you're gonna find
You're better off that way

CHORUS

Ah
Ah

And if I ever wanted
Anything to free me
I'd just break right down
No scream and shout
Yeah, yeah
I'm free, I'm free
I'm free, yeah
Break right now
Shut my mouth
Lay out

And take it easy
Yeah, yeah

The chorus speaks to the idea that in order to find freedom and inner peace, one must be willing to break down, remain calm and composed, and let go of the need to shout or scream. This is the key to taking things easy, which in turn allows one to truly be free.
