Easy
Justin Vernon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When your love is lost on me
I will grant you sympathy
If you let me down easy
When the time comes
When the weed have grown over
And the north blows down
When the time comes
When you have to let me go
I will lay out a sound
If you let me down easy
The lyrics of Justin Vernon's song "Easy" convey the idea of the inevitability of the end of a relationship, and the importance of handling it with grace and compassion. The singer is telling his partner that when the time comes for their love to fade away or for them to part ways, he will show understanding and sympathy as long as he is let down gently. He acknowledges that endings are part of life, like the north wind that blows down, and that they can be painful, like the weed that grows over. However, he also believes that they can be dealt with in a way that doesn't cause unnecessary hurt. He promises to be there for his partner and to lay out a solid path forward, as long as the breakup is handled with kindness and ease.
The song's lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the end of a relationship and wants to do so in a respectful and loving way. It emphasizes the idea of treating others how we would like to be treated and reminds us that even in moments of heartbreak and sadness, we have the ability to show kindness and compassion to those we love.

When the time comes
In the future, when a certain event occurs
When your love is lost on me
When I do not reciprocate your feelings
I will grant you sympathy
I will empathize with you and show kindness
If you let me down easy
If you handle the situation in a gentle and considerate manner
When the weed have grown over
In the distant future, when nature has taken over
And the north blows down
When strong winds from the north come and change everything
When you have to let me go
When you must move on from our relationship
I will lay out a sound
I will create a peaceful environment or atmosphere for you
If you let me down easy
If you handle the situation in a gentle and considerate manner

I think this is the song that gets me so down, when I'm already down, that I start to see the beauty in being sad, in all the night skies as a blossom in the dark.

ARQ GDS. I think sometimes when down, in some level you wish to get even lower and like hit rock bottom. because we all know that you can only climb up from that point and it gives a certain hope..

I need to find out more about this guy, beautiful voice!
Cynthia Hamil
You have a mesmerizing voice...
A haunting quality.
I think your songs should be featured in some great videos - and movies. You have a story telling quality that would be great with film - and showing very beautiful video footage, paintings, or photos.
