Easy
Marike Jager Lyrics

In Marike Jager's song "Easy", the lyrics speak to the difficulties of self-reflection and self-acceptance. The opening lines ask, "Do you have to make it hard on me?" implying that the person she's speaking to is causing her some sort of pain or difficulty. The following line reinforces this by saying, "Well, you don't seem to think that I'm alright with me". These two lines together suggest that the person she's speaking to is perhaps criticizing her or causing her to doubt her self-worth.

The next few lines suggest that Jager has found someone who helps her feel better about herself. She sings, "There's something in the way you talk, it lifts me up and down. There's something in the way you mirror me". This person seems to be a positive influence on her, helping her feel better about herself and perhaps even seeing herself in a new light. However, despite this positive influence, Jager still struggles with self-reflection and self-acceptance. She sings, "And it's not easy, watching myself. It's not that easy".

The rest of the lyrics continue this theme of struggling with self-reflection and self-acceptance. Jager sings that she's "a stranger to my own reflection", suggesting that she doesn't really know herself very well. She also sings "Don't try me when I'm broken", which could mean that she doesn't handle criticism or negativity very well when she's feeling vulnerable. And throughout the song, the refrain repeats the idea that "Watching myself, it's not that easy". Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of internal struggle and difficulty with accepting oneself.
