Catchy hooks are built of tight drumming, sleepy bass lines, rhythmic guitar, accented by the occassional tasty chop or solo, and glossy and varied keyboard elements, all cinched in by perfect vocal arrangements and performances which display experienced use of range, style and technique. The more-than-adept musicianship is carried home by deceptively simple yet convicting and relateable lyrics, which manage to bring a smirk to your face one moment, only to melt it off the next; sarcasm, anguish, humor and hard-earned wisdom all play off each other seamlessly.

It Could Be Easy
House Of Fools Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been dreaming aloud
If you need me
I'll be right here for now
When there's a problem
Please ask
There's no point in conversations
Being such a foreign task

Lets not fight
It could be easy if we try
Shooting for feelings that are too hard to describe
So if you're following me
You're following me down

I can't get no relief no
To be searching for the better
The better part of me
I always feel so wrong
For evertime I mess up
I write another song
I've always been wrong

So I've been singing all along
Shooting for feelings that are too hard to describe
So if you're following me
You're following me down
You're following me down

Shooting for feelings that are too hard to describe
So if you're following me
So if you're following me

So if you're following me
You're following me down.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to House Of Fools's song "It Could Be Easy" speak to the complications and challenges that arise in relationships. The singer is dreaming aloud, a sign that they are not content with their current reality. If the person they are addressing needs them, they will be available for now, which seems to imply that they might not always be available. The next line, "When there's a problem, please ask," suggests that communication is key and that it's better to ask questions than to make assumptions. The line "There's no point in conversations being such a foreign task" speaks to the breakdown in communication that can occur in relationships if one or both parties are not willing or able to communicate effectively.

The chorus of the song focuses on the idea that it could be easy if both parties are willing to try. There's no need to fight or argue if both parties can work together to make things easier. The singer seems to be searching for something better, describing themselves as feeling wrong or like they mess up often. However, they find solace in music and writing songs. The final lines of the song repeat the chorus, with the singer urging the person they are addressing to follow them down a path that could be easy if they are willing to try.
