Easy to Forget
Drugdealer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my friends only play for real
They smash their guitars
They borrow and steal

In the end
So much better these days
I lay myself down
In so many ways
So many ways

La, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la

I lay it all out for you

A two
A fret
A rule
Is easy to forget
And I do

La, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la la
La la la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la

I traded all my doubt for you

And yet
It's true
You get
To see me play the fool
And I do

La, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la la
La la la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la
La la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la




La la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la
La la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la

Overall Meaning

The song Easy to Forget by Drugdealer is a reflection on the pressures of life and the easy ways in which people can forget themselves in the midst of it all. The opening lines "All my friends only play for real, They smash their guitars, They borrow and steal" suggest a group of friends who are fully committed to their art and willing to go to extreme lengths to make it work. However, the singer recognizes that they cannot keep up with this lifestyle and has found a better way to live. They sing "So much better these days, I lay myself down, In so many ways, So many ways," indicating that they have found peace and comfort in letting themselves be vulnerable and not trying to be someone they're not.


The lines "A two, A fret, A rule, Is easy to forget, And I do" seem to reference the fact that there are guidelines and expectations in life that are easy to forget or ignore. The singer admits to forgetting them, but also recognizes the value of doing so. The chorus "La, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la" is a repetition of nonsensical sounds that could be interpreted as a release from the stresses of life.


The song concludes with the lines "I traded all my doubt for you, And yet, It's true, You get, To see me play the fool, And I do." This can be interpreted in different ways, but it seems to suggest that the singer has found something or someone (possibly love) worth trading their doubts and fears for. However, they also acknowledge that in doing so they may sometimes act foolishly or make mistakes.


Overall, the song Easy to Forget by Drugdealer explores themes of self-discovery, vulnerability, and the pressures of society. It is a reflection on the ways in which people can get caught up in the expectations and rules of life, but also a celebration of the freedom that comes with letting go of those expectations.
