Tears

Easy Life's song 'Tears' delves into the complexities of modern life, friendship, and the passage of time. The lyrics reflect a sense of nostalgia and the challenges that come with growing older. The repeated line, 'It’s a hard life, I can’t lie, it’s been a rush,' encapsulates the whirlwind of experiences and emotions that the artist has faced. Despite these hardships, the song emphasizes the importance of having trustworthy friends who provide support and comfort, as highlighted in the lines, 'But I'm lucky I got friends that I trust' and 'And I’ll keep those teardrops from falling.' This suggests that while life can be tough, the presence of loyal friends can make it more bearable.

The song also touches on the theme of change and adaptation. The artist mentions how life was easier in their twenties but has become more complicated, requiring legal assistance and dealing with the pressures of fame. The line 'I got homies back home that can still act nuke-proof' contrasts the artist's current fragile state with the resilience of old friends. This juxtaposition highlights the inevitable changes that come with time and the different paths people take. The mention of only being seen on YouTube further underscores the distance and disconnection that fame can bring.

Another poignant aspect of the song is the sense of loss and longing for absent friends. The lyrics 'To my absent friends who never stay in touch' and 'Say my accent’s changed from my native tongue' reflect the emotional distance that can grow between people over time. The artist's reference to 'survivor’s guilt' and seeing 'artists come and go' adds a layer of introspection about the transient nature of life and success. Despite these feelings, the artist remains committed to keeping 'those teardrops from falling,' symbolizing a determination to stay positive and support those around them.
