Lionel Richie À³ÅµÀîÆæ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I just can't stand the pain
Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl
You know I've done all I can
You see I begged, stole
And I borrowed
Ooh, that's why I'm easy
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
Why in the world
Would anybody put chains on me?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it!
No!
Ooh,that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
I want to be high, so high
I want to be free to know
The things I do are right
I want to be free
Just me, babe!
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
Because I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning
Because I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning
In Lionel Richie’s hit song “Easy,” the singer speaks to a lover and tells her that he’s leaving her. He opens with the contradictory line, “know it sounds funny, but I just can’t stand the pain.” He’s trying to let her down easily, but it’s clear that he’s unhappy with the situation. The next lines suggest that he’s done all he can for the relationship, but it simply didn’t work out. He’s gone to great lengths and is exhausted.
In the chorus, the singer explains why he wants out of the relationship - he wants to be free to do things his way without anyone putting chains on him. Everyone wants him to be someone he’s not, and he doesn’t want to pretend anymore. He wants to be happy and free, and he wants to be himself. He repeats that he’s easy like Sunday morning, which suggests that he wants a stress-free, relaxing lifestyle. By the end of the song, it’s clear that leaving the relationship is the right choice for the singer.
Overall, “Easy” is a song about wanting to be free and authentic. The lyrics portray a feeling of being trapped and unhappy, but finding the strength to let go and move on. The repetitive chorus reinforces the message that the singer wants to live an easy, stress-free life without anything holding him back.

일반인 입장에서 음악플레이 리스트를 듣고있는데 이지 노래가 나오는데
영상으로 먼저 접한게 아니라 노래로 먼저 만났는데 르세라핌 노래인줄 모르고 들었는데
노래가 느낌이 좋은거에요
알고보니 르세라핌이어서 더 좋았고
많이 오래들어도 질리지않을거 같고
르세라핌이 힘빡주고 이번앨범 타이틀입니다 하고 뭔가 대중적이고 인기많을만한 곡으로 작업한게 아니라
뭔가 메세지를 전달하고 새로운 문화를 이끄는 선구자같은 음악을 연달아서 내놓아서
역시 르세라핌은 다른걸그룹과는 다른색깔을 가지고 있고 다른길을 걸어가는것 같아서 신성한충격으로 다가오내요
앞으로도 르세라핌이 추구하는 음악으로 전세계인에게 신선한 충격으로 함께하는 아티스트가 되길 기원합니다

안녕하세요 저는 도덕 수업 과제로 선플달기 챌린지에 참여하게 된 봉은중학교 2학년 4반 2번 김미지입니다. 평소에도 너무 노래 하나하나가 멜로디가 너무 좋아서 자주 듣고 있는데 이번 노래는 진짜 역대급으로 너무 좋았어요. 그 특유의 힙한 느낌이 중독성이 있는 것 같아요. 앞으로도 좋은 노래 많이 만들어주시고 활동도 열심히 하셨으면 좋겠어요. 긴 글 읽어주셔서 감사합니다. :)
