Easy
Mesadorm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing in the middle but a bare knuckle fight
You're dizzy all day, looking side to side
And they shouted all your life
No it's not easy kid
No it's not easy kid
We're all living day to day
No it's not easy kid
No it's not easy kid
We're all living day to day
Trying to get along together ah ah
Well they've been talking and talking,
Talking for hours
You wonder with the words
Going out of their mouths
Why it's so hard just to smile and play
And they've shouted all your life
No it's not easy kid
And no you're not an easy kid
We're all living day to day
Trying to get along together ah ah
No it's not easy kid
No it's not easy kid
We're all living day to day
Trying to get along together ah ah
And now you're sitting in the car in the parking bay
Rubber band brains all made of clay
You want to whisper words that will try to explain
But you've been shouting all your life
I can be easy
I can be easy
We're all living day to day
Trying to get along together ah ah
I can be easy
I can be easy
We're all living day to day
Trying to get along together ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah...
I can be easy
I can be easy
We're all living day to day
Trying to get along together ah ah
I can be easy
I can be easy
We're all living day to day
Trying to get along together ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah...
No it's not easy kid
No it's not easy kid
We're all living day to day
Trying to get along together ah ah
The song "Easy" by Mesadorm portrays the struggles of familial relationships and the difficulties that come with them. The first verse describes the feeling of being trapped between two conflicting parental figures, with nothing but constant conflict in the middle. The second verse describes how communication sometimes fails to bring peace to the situation, with incessant shouting and talking bringing no resolution.
The chorus repeats the phrase "No it's not easy kid" four times, emphasizing the difficulty of navigating these complicated relationships. However, the chorus also emphasizes the importance of coming together despite the challenges, as "We're all living day to day / Trying to get along together."
In the final verse, the singer is sitting alone in a car, attempting to process their thoughts and emotions while feeling like their mind is made of "rubber band brains all made of clay." The song ends with a call for ease and understanding between family members, despite the struggles that may come with it.
Overall, "Easy" is a heartfelt and raw depiction of the complexities of familial relationships and the importance of persevering through them.

With your mother on the left, your daddy on the right
You're caught between two opposing forces
Nothing in the middle but a bare knuckle fight
You're constantly struggling to survive in this environment
You're dizzy all day, looking side to side
The constant tension and pressure is affecting you
And they shouted all your life
You feel like you're trapped in a never-ending cycle of conflict

Trying to get along together
Despite the challenges, we must find a way to live in peace and harmony
Well they've been talking and talking, talking for hours
People can talk incessantly without really saying anything
You wonder with the words going out of their mouths
You're left confused by all the noise and meaningless chatter
Why it's so hard just to smile and play
Sometimes it feels like simple pleasures are out of reach
And no you're not an easy kid
The difficulties of life have made you complex and challenging
And now you're sitting in the car in the parking bay
You're alone with your thoughts, trying to make sense of it all
Rubber band brains all made of clay
Your mind feels malleable and uncertain
You want to whisper words that will try to explain
You long for understanding and communication
But you've been shouting all your life
You've been forced to be loud and fight for your place in the world
I can be easy
You want to simplify things and make them easier
Ah ah, ah ah...
The repetition symbolizes the struggle of daily life

I fell asleep with the radio on last night and woke up at about 2am just as this song started. 1 min in and I had to spark a joint, by the end of the song I was on youtube looking for more of their music. What a beautiful voice.
(Please don't ruin it by selling it to a car commercial)
