The group formed in 2008 when Jones began playing Brooklyn venues to practice guitar, with the help of Dobson. They were then joined by Popper, and the three began working together to expand creatively. Some of the group's early shows were in front of friends and done just for fun as they covered songs they loved.[3] In an interview with The Boston Globe published July 17, 2014, Jones describes the first shows as "never stressful because it was loose and nobody was coming but our friends." Dobson adds, "We were just playing shows and coming together as our schedules went along. It was just about playing music and not having an agenda of any kind
It's not easy
Puss N Boots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And tell me what to do
If you break my heart
I'll do the same to you
Don't you know the tears
Are rolling down my face
It's not easy to be
It's not easy to make these mistakes
Maybe I'll be fine
I don't feel so weak
We can take our time
And walk away with ease
We won't cross the line
On climb on to that peak
I will run from you
And you can run from me
Split the circle in two
Until we're free
It's not what I want
And those what you need
Though I'm torn
Brain from heart
I can't forget
To be smart
Whether I
Build a wall
On see it through
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
I don't know
I will run from you
And you can run from me
Split the circle in two
Until we're free
It's not what you want
You know it's what I need
It's not easy to be
It's not easy to be
It's not easy to be
It's not easy to be
It's not easy to be
It's not easy to be
It's not easy to be
You and me
The lyrics of Puss N Boots’s “It’s Not Easy” speak of the complexities of relationships, the difficulty of reconciling emotions and rationality, and the pain of separation. The singer is struggling with the fear of heartbreak and betrayal, and the uncertainty of what to do should such a situation arise. She sings, “Please stay on the line/ And tell me what to do/ If you break my heart/ I'll do the same to you”, demonstrating her fear and reluctance to engage in such a fragile relationship.
The song also touches upon the vulnerability and fragility of human emotions. The tears rolling down her face represent the pain and suffering that comes with a relationship, making it difficult at times to make the right decisions. The singer also admits to making mistakes, recognizing that it is not easy to be perfect in a relationship. Ultimately, the lyrics express a desire to be free, to escape the pain and heartache that inevitably comes with love.
In ending on the line, “It's not easy to be/ You and me”, the song speaks of the complex dynamics and challenges of a relationship in which two individuals must strive to overcome their differences and coexist in harmony. It is a testament to the human struggle of love and the difficulty of balancing our hearts and minds in the search for true and lasting connections.
