Easy
Y O U Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So They Tell Me, They Should Know.
If I Just Take It Easy Will I Get Where I Need To Go?
With All That I've Got, There's Not Much I Need.
So Why Can't I Just Get It Right?
Oh, Shouldn't This Be Easy? Shouldn't This Be Easy?
But I've Never Tried So Hard.
And Simple Is Not As Easy As It Sounded At The Start.
With All That I've Got, There's Not Much I Need.
So Why Can't I Just Get It Right?
Oh, Shouldn't This Be Easy? Shouldn't This Be Easy?
If I Could Keep This Picture In Mind
To Shadow The Worries And To Remind Me
It's So Easy.
If I Could Keep This Picture In Mind
To Shadow The Worries And To Remind Me
It's So Easy.
With All That I've Got, There's Not Much I Need.
So Why Can't I Just Get It Right?
Oh, Shouldn't This Be Easy? Shouldn't This Be Easy?
The lyrics of Y O U's song "Easy" convey the frustration and confusion of trying to navigate life and achieve success or fulfillment. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been told that things should be easy, but that they are struggling to make it so. They wonder if simply taking it easy will lead them to their desired destination, indicating a sense of uncertainty and desperation.
The chorus repeats the question of whether things should be easy, emphasizing the singer's confusion and frustration. The repetition of the phrase "with all that I've got, there's not much I need" suggests that the singer may have the material or external resources necessary for success, but is still struggling internally to make progress.
The second verse introduces the idea of keeping things simple, but the singer struggles with this as well. They have never tried so hard to simplify their life, and the effort required to do so is greater than they anticipated. The final lines of the chorus continue to emphasize the singer's internal struggle, suggesting that there is something blocking their path to success, despite having what they need.
The final lines of the song offer a glimmer of hope - if the singer can keep a certain picture in mind, they may be able to overcome their worries and achieve the easy life they desire. This suggests that the struggle is not purely external, but also relates to the singer's internal mindset or perspective.
Overall, "Easy" is a poignant and relatable portrayal of the challenges of navigating life and achieving one's goals. It emphasizes the complexity and difficultly of even seemingly simple tasks, and the internal barriers that can make even the easiest path seem insurmountable.

I cry every time I hear this song play. Because that night I found out my wife and I were expecting. After a year this song still gets to me and we have a happy, healthy, loving baby boy.
