Troye Sivan ft. Broods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my mommy, she can't put down the phone
And stop asking how I'm doing all alone, alone
But the truth is the stars are falling, ma
And the wolves are out calling, ma
And my home has never felt this far
But all this driving
And all this moving
Is proving to get the best of me
And I've been trying to hide it
But lately
Every time I think I'm better
Pickin' my head up, getting nowhere
Take me back to the basics and the simple life
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
Now I'm down to my skin and bones
My baby listens to me on the phone
But I can't help feeling like I'm all alone, all alone
The truth is, the stars are falling, babe
And I'd never ever thought that I would say
I'm afraid of the life that I've made, I've made
But all this driving
Is driving me crazy
And all this moving
Is proving to get the best of me
And I've been trying to hide it
But lately
Every time I think I'm better
Pickin' my head up, getting nowhere
Take me back to the basics and the simple life
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
I've been lyin' to them all
I don't need it anymore
Don't you worry about me
I'll be fine if I can breathe
I've been hidin' for too long
Taking shit for how I'm wrong
How I'm wrong
Always wrong
Take me back to the basics and the simple life
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
(Take me back to the basics and the simple life)
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
(Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease)
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
(Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby)
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
The lyrics to Troye Sivan's "EASE" are a reflection of a personal struggle with anxiety and the need to find peace and stability. The song opens with the singer feeling stripped down to his most vulnerable self, both physically and emotionally. He reveals that despite his mother's concern and constant questioning, he still feels alone and distant from his home, which he describes as "never felt this far."
The following lines introduce a sense of chaos and impending danger, exemplified by the falling stars and the wolves' howling. While he is constantly on the move, trying to outrun these feelings, he realizes that something needs to change. The chorus offers a plea to be taken back to a simpler, more innocent time, which he equates with comfort and safety. He longs for the things that make him feel at ease, represented by the touch, comfort, and lullaby of his counterpart.
The second verse reinforces the singer's feeling of isolation, despite the presence of his loved ones. The stars falling in this case represent the loss of his illusions and dreams, and the life he has built for himself seems increasingly unstable and maybe even scary. The chorus reiterates the singer's desire to be with the person who brings him warmth and stability, and the repetition of "holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night" emphasizes the security he finds in being close to them.
Overall, "EASE" is a poignant reflection of the impact of anxiety and the need for a sense of safety and grounding. The song highlights the importance of finding comfort in the people and moments that make us feel at ease, even in the face of uncertainty and change.

I’m down to my bed and I
can’t stop watching Troye’s videos
and listening his music - which I love
Well the truth is that he is famous now
and the big world is c-calling our
very lovely, little, little, Troye
But all this hiding
is driving me crazy
Can’t you see
that Tronnor
ship is sailing
I’ve been trying to pray it
but lately
I’ve noticed that they have decided not to collaborate
Take me back to the basics and his old videos
Remember when Troye was vlogging in his bedroom?
His wink, his jokes, his #asktroyes
I still watch them
I still love them
I miss them a lot
miss them a lot

And stop asking how I'm doing all alone, alone
But the truth is the stars are falling, ma
And the wolves are out c-calling, ma
And my home has never felt this far
But all this driving, is driving me crazy
And all this moving is proving to get the best of me
And I've been trying to hide it but lately
Every time I think I'm better pick my head up
Getting nowhere
Take me back to the basics and the simple life
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
Holding on tight and sleeping at night
Holding on tight and sleeping at night
Now I'm down to my skin and bones
And my baby listens to me on the phone

Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
Holding on tight and sleeping at night
Holding on tight and sleeping at night
I've been lying to them all I don't need it anymore
Don't you worry about me I'll be fine if I can breathe
I've been out here for too long taking shit for how I'm wrong
How I'm wrong, always wrong
Take me back to the basics and the simple life
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
