Easy
The Bricats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But, I just can't stand the pain
Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl
You know I've done all I can
You see I begged, stole, and I borrowed! (yeah)
Ooh that's why I'm easy
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning!
Why in the world would anybody put chains on me?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it! no!
Ooh that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning!
I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know
The things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me! Whoa, oh! Babe!
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, yeah
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, whoa
'Cause I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning, yeah
'Cause I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning
The lyrics to The Bricats' song "Easy" appear to be about a man who is leaving his partner the next day, despite still having feelings for her. He has done everything he can to make the relationship work, but he is in too much pain to continue. He compares his desire for a clean break to a sense of ease, like a relaxing Sunday morning. He is tired of feeling chained and constrained by others' expectations, and he wants to be able to live freely and authentically.
What's interesting is the dichotomy between the message of the lyrics and the tone of the music. The melody is light and upbeat, with a catchy chorus that is easy to sing along to. This juxtaposition between the lyrics and the music creates a bittersweet feeling that speaks to the complexity of human emotions.
One possible interpretation of the song is that it is about the difficulty of being in a relationship that is no longer fulfilling. The singer has reached a breaking point and has to leave, even though it hurts. He longs for a sense of freedom and authenticity that he can only achieve by being true to himself.
