Easy
Michael Kiske Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[M&L - M. Kiske]

It's so easy - to hurt
It's so easy - to hateIt's not easy - to take the pain
Don't deny, don't you cry,
There's a lift somewhere
Deep within (yes)
It's giving that shows we care

If life gets too tough
And you give it all, that's enough
If blind is your love, it will carry your pain
But you got to show!
We had it all

And we gave it all away
Tears we will hide
All those years we learned to hide - Oh!

It's so easy - to hurt
It's so easy - to hate
It's not easy - to take the pain

Lay your head on me!
Lay it all on me!
Lay your head on me!
Put it all on me!
Lay all worries on me!
Lay all fears on me!
Lay all pain on me!
Lay it all on me!
Lay all load on me!
Just lay all weight on me!
(You can fly, you sure can fly with all weight off of your heart)
Put it all on my shoulder!

Long is the road
That leads out of cold
A second will carry all fortune at once
A second can show!
Embrace the world!

You got arms, embrace the world!
We run out of time
Yes we're bad, bad out of time - Oh!

It's so easy - to hurt




It's so easy - to hate
It's not easy - to love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Michael Kiske's song "Easy" describe the complex mix of emotions that we all experience as human beings. The song acknowledges that it can be easy to hurt and hate others, but it also explores the idea that sometimes it's difficult to take the pain that others are experiencing. The lyrics suggest that it's important to acknowledge and feel those emotions, rather than denying or repressing them.


The song also touches on themes of connection and forgiveness. Kiske sings about the need to care for one another and to show love, even in the face of pain and hurt. The lyrics suggest that laying our worries, fears, and pain on another person can be a way of finding relief, and that embracing the world and all its complexities can be a source of healing.

Magnificent piece.... Incredible vocal performance.... I wish Micha would do again some classically-inspired songs like this one... but his inspiration seems elsewhere now.
