Nobody Said It Was Easy
Louisiana LeRoux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The kids will be okay
It's just another detour
They haven't lost their way
They're lookin' for the lights
Somewhere they're shining
Lookin for the lights
Lookin' for the lights
That silver lining
Lookin' for the lights
Oh, oh
Sometimes you hate it
Sometimes you love it
Sometimes you don't know
What to think of it
Nobody said it was easy
Nobody said it was
Nobody said it was easy
Nobody said it
Now is not time to give up
Some, they love the money
Some, they love the fame
Some, they don't love anything at all
I don't know why they came
Lookin' for the lights
Somewhere they're shining
Lookin' for the lights
Oh, oh
Lookin' for the lights
That silver lining
Lookin' for the lights
Oh, oh
Sometimes you hate it
Sometimes you love it
Sometimes you don't know
What to think of it
Nobody said it was easy
Nobody said it was
Nobody said it was easy
Nobody said it
Now is not time to give up
The lyrics of "Nobody Said It Was Easy" by Louisiana LeRoux describe an adventurous journey and the ways different people deal with it. At the beginning of the song, the singer mentions that it's just another daydream, which indicates that the events they describe may not be entirely real. However, they reassure us that the kids will be okay and haven't lost their way despite the detours they have taken.
The chorus talks about looking for the lights, which can be interpreted as looking for hope or a way out of a difficult situation. Some people are motivated by money or fame, while others may not be motivated by anything at all. The song acknowledges that there are different ways of dealing with life's challenges, and it can be hard to know what to think of it all.
The song's repeated refrain, "Nobody said it was easy," is a reminder that life is often challenging, and we should not give up in the face of adversity. The song encourages us to keep looking for the light or the silver lining, even if it is tough going.

This group will never know what an inspiration they were for me. I was driving through Tennessee and Kentucky and I heard this song. It kept me on the right track. "Now is no time to give up." Thank you!
@gravano2
I heard this while touring Canada in 82 - stuck out as a great tune .
@gregoryeaston9396
Scott, in the past, we've talked about your sexual confusion. Soft rock does not necessarily equal being gay -- not that there's anything wrong with that. What is sad is your constant denial and using metal music to cover your true feelings. I know, I know. That Karen Carpenter buried deep inside of you is dying to get out.
@Mandilore89
I wouldn't bother with that asshole. I love heavy metal but I also appreciate music like this. I'm from Baton Rouge and I heard LaRoux growing up and my favorite genre of all is European Power Metal.

I was driving through Tennessee and Kentucky, fleeing the cops, when his song came on the radio. Right then and there, I decided that prison life was better than this song. So I gave up.
@shoneyluvsAmerica
@@Mandilore89 im originally from "Cenla" -- and Le Roux was HUGE in Louisiana at that time. They firsr were called "Louisiana's Le Roux", then if course, dropped "Louisiana". I had a blast growing up in Louisiana in the 80s!

Tony is my cousin and I miss listening to LeRoux, I wore out my cassette tape way back in the 80's. Glad to hear the songs again and know that they still are doing dates.
@veronicafleitas412
Finally, I found who sing this song!
@uraigroves7898
this song brought me joy in may of 1982 when I saw it on MTV...I was 19 and in the air force and was kind of lost and lonely. this song gave me hope - as cheesy as that sounds...
@eaglechildkeys
When the songs were composed from the bottom of the heart.
Such an underrated band...
