Easy
The Slackers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause every word I say, I say too rough
And every day I wanna give you love
Everybody wants to love someone
Better take easy
The ground is soft
Better step easy
Better step easy
Time is short
Everybody wants to sing some song
But nobody wants to say they're wrong
And I've done it, it just can't be helped
Before you love someone, please love yourself
Better take easy
The ground is soft
Better step easy
You might be lost
Better step easy
Time is short
Everybody wants to say it
They ain't (???) you play it
Even though they know they're not
You better be thankful...
Every day I (???) sleeping at all
A chance of love when every time I call
I tell myself that it just can't be helped
Before you love someone, please love yourself
Better take easy
The ground is soft
Better step easy
You might be lost
Better step easy
Time is short
Time is short
Better step easy
Ground is soft
You might be lost
Better take easy
The ground is soft
Better step easy
You might be lost
Better step easy
Time is short
The Slackers's song Easy talks about the struggles of love and the importance of taking it slow and being easy. The opening lines suggest that people tend to hide their emotions and put up a tough exterior, afraid of being hurt or vulnerable. The artist admits that his words can come off as rough but it is because he wants to love deeply. The chorus of the song urges the listener to take it easy and warns them that the ground is soft, meaning that things are delicate and can be easily broken. The artist advises the listener to step easy and take their time, because time is short.
The second verse talks about the desire to sing and express oneself but the fear of being wrong. The artist acknowledges that he has been wrong before and reminds the listener that it is okay because no one is perfect. He emphasizes the importance of self-love before loving someone else, which is a common theme in many love songs.
The bridge of the song is difficult to decipher. It talks about the artist's inability to sleep and the hope for love every time he calls. He then tells himself that it just can't be helped, possibly referring to the fact that love is uncontrollable and unpredictable.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to slow down and take things easy. It reminds us that love is delicate and requires patience and self-love.
