Easy Easy

King Krule's 'Easy Easy' is a raw and candid exploration of the struggles and monotony of everyday life. The song opens with a sense of resignation, as the protagonist reflects on the repetitive nature of his existence. The lyrics 'same old Bobby, same old beat' and 'same old clutch, same old streets' emphasize the unchanging and uninspiring routine that defines his days. Despite this, there's a defiant tone as he asserts that these mundane elements 'got nothing on me,' suggesting a desire to rise above the drudgery.

The song delves deeper into the protagonist's dissatisfaction with his 'dead-end job' that 'eats away' at his life. This job symbolizes the broader sense of entrapment and frustration that many people feel in their daily lives. The lyrics 'you feel a little inside, the trouble and strife' capture the internal struggle and the yearning for something more meaningful. The protagonist spends his evenings 'searching for another life,' indicating a longing for escape and a better future.

King Krule also touches on the theme of financial struggle and the feeling of being exploited, as seen in the lines about Tesco stealing his money and the spoiled sandwich. This adds a layer of social commentary, highlighting the challenges faced by those in lower economic brackets. The repeated refrain 'easy easy' serves as both a reminder to stay calm and a plea for respite from the pressures of life. The song's raw, unpolished sound and Krule's distinctive vocal delivery further enhance the sense of authenticity and emotional depth, making 'Easy Easy' a poignant reflection on the trials of modern existence.
