Easy Way Out
oso oso Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i hit a parked car, sped off immediately
so i knew karma has got her sights set on me
but i could care less
was making progress
well thats a product of the past and just that insecure laugh
that you let out
when you're trapped and you feel like you cant get out
but i couldnt figure you out
felt your faith wasnt stronger than your doubt




flew too close to the sun and burnt out
i just figured you were my easy way out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to oso oso's song "Easy Way Out" explore the idea of guilt and regret over past actions. The singer describes hitting a parked car and then quickly driving away, feeling that karma is now coming back to get them. Despite this guilt, however, the singer tries to brush off the incident, believing that they are making progress in their life. This denial of the past is connected to a feeling of insecurity, represented by the "insecure laugh" the singer has when they feel trapped and unable to escape. This fear of being stuck is mirrored in the singer's relationship with another person, who they describe as their "easy way out." Here, the singer suggests that they have been attempting to escape their own insecurities and problems by relying on this other person, but ultimately, they are unable to escape their own past mistakes.


The lyrics to "Easy Way Out" are poignant in their exploration of guilt and regret, and the way in which these feelings can intersect with denial and insecurity. The song recognizes the human need to try and move past the things that we have done wrong, but it also acknowledges the limitations of this approach. Ultimately, the singer cannot escape the negative consequences of their actions, and must confront their guilt head-on. The song also explores the ways in which we attempt to escape our problems by relying on other people, but ultimately, these people cannot solve our problems for us.
