“The true novelty of Ea Kaya’s style is her ability to marry her lovesick, intimate verses with an addictive and commanding chorus” (Arc Street Journal)
Growing up in Copenhagen, the songstress spent her early teens studying the composition, rhythm, and lyrics of her favorite songs and soon after she began writing her own. When finishing high school, she decided to get out of her bedroom and started mixing her pop with everything from soul/jazz to acoustic rock – even switching to her mother tongue for a while.
All of the experimentings paid off and Ea Kaya felt certain about her sound. Settling with electronic pop, the 21-year-od recorded a solid amount of demos. In September 2016 indie label No3 (CHINAH, Kill j) received these and the same year, Ea Kaya was offered a record deal.
Don't Complicate It
Ea Kaya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say I'm simply needing time
But it's needless
I'm a mess and I'm a wreck
Don't lean in, kiss my neck
It won't help it
You think I'm dramatic
And I call it accurate
I don't get the way you think
Don't get your logic
Please make some sense for once
I say it like it is
When you don't say shit
All I want is just one lie
Don't complicate it
Do you want me for me?
Or for my body
All I want is just one lie
Don't complicate it
Don't complicate it
I'm already complicated
Don't complicate it
I'm already complicated
Fragile but strong as hell
I'm being by myself
Without issues
You'll have to take all in
Want to lead me
Not lead me on
Just for once can you come by
Without a blurry sight
Drunkenly leaning in
I say it like it is
When you don't say shit
All I want is just one lie
Don't complicate it
Do you want me for me?
Or for my body
All I want is just one lie
Don't complicate it
Don't complicate it
I'm already complicated
Don't complicate it
I'm already complicated
Tell me now what I don't hear
It's obvious I can't see clear
Tell me now why you are here
Am I another souvenir?
I say it like it is
When you don't say shit
All I want is just one lie
Don't complicate it
Do you want me for me?
Or for my body
All I want is just one lie
Don't complicate it
Don't complicate it
I'm already complicated
Don't complicate it
I'm already complicated
Don't complicate it
I'm already complicated
Don't complicate it
I'm already complicated
The song "Don't Complicate It" by Ea Kaya talks about the complexities of relationships and communication. The lyrics seem to address a partner who is unable to be straightforward or honest, causing confusion and frustration. The singer is feeling vulnerable yet emotionally strong and is asking for a clear answer to a simple question: whether their partner wants them for who they are or just their body.
The first verse introduces the idea of the singer being in a state of emotional unrest, wanting to express their true feelings but feeling unable to be understood. They acknowledge that they are messy and complicated, but the partner is not really helping by trying to show affection physically when what is truly needed is honesty and clarity.
The chorus is where the singer concludes that they do not want the situation to be complicated anymore. They want a simple answer to their question, and they do not want any underlying motives. The line "Do you want me for me? Or for my body" suggests that the singer may not trust their partner's intentions, and they want to cut through any confusion.
Overall, the song beautifully captures the complexity of emotions and communication that people experience in relationships. It highlights the need for clarity, honesty, and transparency as the core of any strong and fulfilling partnership.

Could be calm, claim I'm fine

Say I'm simply needing time
I could say that I just need some time to figure things out
But it's needless
But that would be unnecessary because it's not the truth
I'm a mess and I'm a wreck
I'm not okay and I'm falling apart
Don't lean in, kiss my neck
Don't try to distract me with physical affection
It won't help it

The problematic classic is
The cliched issue is
You think I'm dramatic
You believe that I'm being overly emotional
And I call it accurate
And I agree with you
I don't get the way you think
I don't understand your perspective
Don't get your logic
I don't understand your reasoning
Please make some sense for once
Please explain things clearly for once

I'm being by myself
I'm trying to work through things on my own
Without issues
Without creating any drama
You'll have to take all in
You'll have to accept all of me
Want to lead me
You want to guide me and be my partner
Not lead me on
But not deceive me with false promises
Just for once can you come by
Just one time, can you visit me
Without a blurry sight
Without being drunk or under the influence
Drunkenly leaning in
Trying to get close to me while intoxicated
Tell me now what I don't hear
Say something that I haven't heard before
It's obvious I can't see clear
It's obvious that I can't see things clearly
Tell me now why you are here
Explain to me why you're with me
Am I another souvenir?
Am I just another meaningless keepsake for you?
Don't complicate it
Don't make it more difficult
Do you want me for me?
Do you like me for who I am?
Or for my body
Or just because of my physical appearance
All I want is just one lie
All I want is for you to tell me what I want to hear instead of the truth
Don't complicate it
Don't make it more difficult
Don't complicate it
Don't make it more difficult
I'm already complicated
I'm already complex and difficult to understand
Don't complicate it
Don't make it more difficult
I'm already complicated
I'm already complex and difficult to understand
Don't complicate it
Don't make it more difficult
