Easy

SHAUN's song 'Easy' delves into the emotional turmoil of a breakup and the difficulty of moving on from a past relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with the lingering memories and feelings for an ex-partner. The opening lines, 'I know it must be hurting, I'll never know / So, forgive me if I got it wrong,' suggest a sense of regret and confusion, acknowledging the pain caused but also the uncertainty of fully understanding the other person's perspective.

The recurring theme of technology, particularly the phone, symbolizes the constant reminders of the past relationship. Lines like 'I should put down my phone' and 'I'm looking at my phone / And seeing all the memories' highlight how modern communication tools can make it harder to move on. The protagonist is caught in a loop of revisiting old memories, making the process of letting go even more challenging. This is further emphasized in the chorus, where the repeated question 'How could it be easy?' underscores the struggle of erasing someone from your life when they still occupy your thoughts.

The song also touches on the internal conflict of wanting to hold on versus the need to move forward. The lines 'I did my best to give you / What you needed from me and / It wasn't enough for you' reflect a sense of inadequacy and the realization that despite one's efforts, the relationship couldn't be salvaged. The plea 'Tell me if you think I'm wrong and we should leave / 'Cause to me, I need you right next to me' encapsulates the desperation and hope for reconciliation, even when it seems unlikely. SHAUN's 'Easy' is a poignant exploration of the complexities of heartbreak, capturing the essence of longing, regret, and the painful journey of letting go.
