Easy
Hinds Lyrics

In Hinds's song "Easy," the lyrics center around the aftermath of a breakup where the singer is coming to terms with the fact that things were not as easy as they were promised to be. The song starts with the line, "You said it was gonna be easy," which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is left alone, abandoned by their significant other, and has no tears left to cry. This creates a sense of desolation, where the person feels emotionally exhausted from the broken promises and the emotional hardships of the relationship.

The next line, "And I sold every feeling you gave me," signifies how the singer gave everything that they had in the relationship, but it all went to waste. They don't show any bitterness or anger about how they were treated by their significant other, but they show that they are independent and confident on their own. The chorus of the song has a melancholic feel to it with the lines, "Does it show you were right?" which implies that the singer's ex was right about the relationship being difficult and the breakup being the best decision.

The second verse sees the singer reminiscing about how their smile used to save their significant other's vision, but this has now changed, and the person is restless at night. The singer still needs their significant other, and the lines "I still need you tonight" show a glimmer of hope, even though the situation seems bleak. The bridge of the song gives us an idea of how the singer is coming to terms with being alone, and how the experience has made her stronger. The line, "Now I know what's like to be afraid" is a metaphorical reference to the natural human fear of being alone.
