Easier
Ultraísta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heavy handed and never changed
Tell them they got what they wanted
Tell them they got everything
And it's old and inane they don't look the same
Led to a nervous end, I'll watch you fall off again

Fill up, fill up on me I'll make it easier
Fill up, fill up on me I'll make it easier

Faded whore portrait out of print
Spill over every surface
Spill over everything
And you're three stories high
Well above the tide
You're such a serious thing your body fabric and tin

Fill up, fill up on me I'll make it easier
Fill up, fill up on me I'll make it easier

You wanna make it easier.
You wanna make it easier.

You are the wildest bull, with the blackest heart
You were something worth stopping that I never did start

Fill up, fill up on me I'll make it easier
Fill up, fill up on me I'll make it easier

You wanna make it easier.
You wanna make it easier.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ultraísta's song Easier are about the challenges of personal relationships, and how difficult it can be to truly understand another person's feelings or experiences. The singer describes someone who is "heavy handed" and never changes, indicating that they are stubborn and unwilling to adapt. Despite this, the singer tells this person that they have gotten everything they wanted, and that their expectations are "old and inane."

The next verse and chorus speak to the difficulty of communication in a relationship. The singer says that they will "fill up" the other person, making things easier by helping them to understand each other. They describe the other person as a "faded whore portrait out of print," indicating that they have a difficult past, but are willing to spill over and be vulnerable with the singer. The second chorus ends with the repeated refrain "you wanna make it easier," emphasizing the importance of mutual giving in a relationship.

The final verse is perhaps the most intimate, as the singer compares the other person to a "wild bull" with a "black heart." This person was someone whom the singer wanted to get to know better, but for some reason was unable to. By the end of the song, it is clear that the relationship described is one of mutual frustration but also hope, as both parties strive to make things work.

Line by Line Meaning

Heavy handed and never changed
Incapable of delicate action and unchanging

Tell them they got what they wanted
Assure them that they got what they asked for

Tell them they got everything
Assure them that they got all they asked for

And it's old and inane they don't look the same
It’s gotten old and tedious and they don’t appear like their past selves

Led to a nervous end, I'll watch you fall off again
Resulted in a terrifying conclusion - I'll observe you to separate ways once again

Fill up, fill up on me I'll make it easier
Help yourself to me, I'll try to make it less difficult to bear

Faded whore portrait out of print
A worn-out painting of a prostitute, no longer available

Spill over every surface
To overrun all areas

Spill over everything
To overflow and dominate every aspect

And you're three stories high
You are towering in height

Well above the tide
Far beyond the reach of the sea
