Easier
Manic Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The further I get doesn't seem to get easier
It doesn't seem to get easier
I'm running out of breath
But You wouldn't give me strength if it's meant to get easier
If it's meant to get easier
So help me I'm asking please
I'm running out of my options
I'm running out of my options so
So show me how to get
How to get
Stronger
Stronger
Don't expect it to get easier
Not until You make me stronger
No it doesn't get easier
So show me how to get
How to get
Stronger
Stronger
Don't expect it to get easier
Not until You make me stronger
Makeshift happiness
Mistaken being blessed with artificial exteriors
Fabricated with smoke and mirrors
We can never reach new heights
Without obstacles to climb
No, getting there isn't effortless
I'm gonna need a hand with this
So help me I'm asking please
There's gotta be another remedy
I'm running out of my options
I'm running out of my options so
So show me how to get
How to get
Stronger
Stronger
Don't expect it to get easier
Not until You make me stronger
No it doesn't get easier
So show me how to get
How to get
Stronger
Stronger
Don't expect it to get easier
Not until You make me stronger
I'm gonna break through even if it hurts
Don't want no medication it just makes it worse
Cause if I'm numb to the freedom
I'll never come through if I'm comfortable
No I'll never leave this room
No it doesn't get easier
No it doesn't get easier
So show me how to get
How to get
Stronger
Stronger
Don't expect it to get easier
Not until You make me stronger
The lyrics of "Easier" by Manic Drive speak to the struggle of trying to progress in life while facing obstacles along the way. The singer acknowledges that as they move forward, things don't seem to be getting any easier but rather more difficult. They are running out of options and losing their strength. They ask for help and guidance from a higher power, recognizing that they cannot do it alone. The chorus emphasizes that the only way to become stronger is to face these obstacles and push through them even when it's difficult. The singer is determined to break through and overcome these challenges, even if it means facing discomfort and pain.
The lines "Makeshift happiness, mistaken being blessed with artificial exteriors" suggests that the singer is aware of the tendency to seek temporary and superficial forms of happiness instead of addressing deeper issues. The metaphor of "artificial exteriors" represents the facade that people put up to hide their true struggles. However, the singer recognizes that true growth cannot occur without facing the obstacles in one's life. The lyrics assert that relying on medication or other quick fixes will not help to overcome these obstacles because it only temporarily numbs the pain and does not solve the underlying issues.
Overall, "Easier" is a song that addresses the difficulties of personal growth and acknowledges that it takes strength and perseverance to face and overcome obstacles. By seeking help and guidance from a higher power, the singer is determined to become stronger and rise above the challenges they face.

The first time I heard this song was about a couple of months ago on my way to work and was having some serious problems within my marriage and finances. I pulled over and started to cry. As I listened to the words, not only were they comforting, but it made me see things in a different perspective of how to come to God with my problems. Once I did that, everything started falling into place and it in fact got easier.

I'm glad I came across their music. The beats and everything about this helps me even more to stay away from the world's music. I've strayed away from God so I'm trying to restore my relationship with him. God really does have everything planned out
