Easier

Siamés' song 'Easier' delves into the emotional turmoil and the struggle of dealing with personal pain and betrayal. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with their inner demons, symbolized by 'scars of winter' and 'knives of water.' These metaphors suggest deep emotional wounds and tears, respectively, highlighting the intense feelings of loneliness and sorrow. The recurring imagery of a 'thunderstorm knocking at my door' further emphasizes the overwhelming nature of these emotions, suggesting an inescapable and persistent struggle.

The song also explores the theme of deceit and the difficulty of facing the truth. The lines 'How can you look into my eyes and tell me nothing else than lies' reflect a sense of betrayal and the pain of being deceived by someone close. This betrayal makes it 'easier' for the protagonist to run away and hide rather than confront their feelings and the person who hurt them. The repetition of 'And now it's easier' underscores the temptation to avoid emotional confrontation and the allure of self-preservation over vulnerability.

'Easier' ultimately speaks to the human tendency to protect oneself from further pain by closing off emotionally. The lyrics 'It's always easier to hold your head up high than open up your heart' encapsulate this sentiment, suggesting that maintaining a facade of strength is often more manageable than exposing one's true feelings. Siamés captures the universal struggle of balancing self-protection with the need for emotional honesty, resonating with anyone who has faced the challenge of opening up after being hurt.
