Voxtrot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like a crippled bird I had my back through the door
Still I turned my nose up at the water and bread
Despite my greater love I was pretected and fed
But I am here, I am here in the center of myself
And do you still think about me?
Yes I am here, waging battle with this version of myself
Some kind of violent spring I have to cover my eyes
Water chokes the lense spitting up on the sky
Rain down in paragraph form
Too late and I don't know why
I put my legacy first
Oh what a reason to die
All the hours past, the body pressed to the wall
Hear you breath in, breath out sometimes nothing at all
Can you still hear me now
Oh there's no labor too small
Labor run through you, it's just response to a call
But I am here, I am here in the center of myself
And do you still think about me?
Yes I am here waging battle with this version of myself
I right my wrongs and think how things used to be, yes I do
A celebration coming up
I see the rising of dawn
Oh, the sun in the scratch of the mirror it starts to blind me
Coming up fast when did it start to go wrong?
I keep a picture of you on the mantle to remind me
of a time when life used to be so easy, so easy, and so small
I want to dance something caustic and real
Oh these days we trade the earth for the things that we feel
-------
Healing hands never choosing to heal
All this time
The laws smashed I know you like breaking laws
Something you felt, something you've seen
We are embodied inbetween
But when you're lost in your right (?)
When you are selfish and mean
You are the ugliest person that I have ever seen
And I hate you, I hate you, yes I really do
But I am here, I am here in the center of myself
And do you still think about me?
Yes I am here, waging battle with this version of myself
I right my wrongs and think how things used to be
I am here, I am here in the center of myself
And do you still think about me?
Yes I am here waging battle with this version of myself
I bite my tongue and think how things used to be
so easy
The first verse of Voxtrot's "Easy" seems to describe a period of delirium and vulnerability in the singer's life. They describe themselves rolling on the floor for seven months, like a "crippled bird" with their back against the door. Despite their protests, they are being cared for by someone who is protecting and feeding them. However, the singer is now in a different place - they claim to be in the center of themselves. They are fighting with a version of themselves, trying to right their wrongs, and wondering if someone else is still thinking of them.
The second verse is more abstract, but it appears to be speaking to some sort of rebirth or renewal. The singer uses phrases like "violent spring" and "water chokes the lens spitting up on the sky." The imagery suggests a sort of cataclysmic event that must be endured to bring about change. The singer also mentions "labor" that runs through them, responding to a call. Similarly, they ask if someone can still hear them breathing - and there's no labor too small. It's possible that this refers to the idea that small everyday efforts build up to create something larger.
The chorus repeats that the singer is in the center of themselves, but this time they add that they are "biting their tongue." This could be interpreted in several ways - either trying to hold back from saying something, or trying to "bite back" their own negative thoughts or impulses. Overall, the song seems to be about someone who has gone through a period of instability and is now striving to improve themselves - even if it's difficult.

Can you still hear me now
I wonder if my voice still carries through to you.
Oh there's no labor too small
Every action I take, no matter how small, holds significance.

Oh these days we trade the earth for the things that we feel
We sacrifice what is important for fleeting emotions and desires.

All this time the laws smashed I know you like breaking laws
You rebel against societal norms and rules, no matter the consequences.
Something you felt, something you've seen
There are experiences and emotions that you have encountered.
We are embodied inbetween
We are caught in the middle of different worlds and experiences.
But when you're lost in your right (?)
When you think you are in the right, but actually are misguided.
When you are selfish and mean
You lack empathy and are self-centered.
You are the ugliest person that I have ever seen
Your actions and words make you an unattractive person, inside and out.
And I hate you, I hate you, yes I really do
I feel hatred and disdain towards you.
I bite my tongue and think how things used to be so easy
I hold back my emotions and reminisce on simpler times.

@xjfzrq If you didn't care that I got first, what makes you think I care what you say? :p I'll continue to post whatever the hell I want and if you don't like it you can ignore it, just like I would normally choose to ignore your message under normal circumstances. Deal?
