Easy

Mac Ayres' song 'Easy' delves into the nuanced emotions of love and the complexities that come with it. The lyrics reflect a sense of resignation and acceptance of the unchanging nature of certain aspects of life and relationships. The opening lines, 'Oh, the more things change / The more they stay the same,' set the tone for a contemplative exploration of love's enduring yet perplexing qualities. Ayres acknowledges the constancy of his feelings despite the passage of time, suggesting a deep, unshakable connection to the person he sings about.

The chorus, 'I can say that loving you is easy / I don't need to prove a single thing,' highlights the effortless nature of his love. However, this simplicity is contrasted by the complexity of the relationship, as he admits, 'Somewhere along the way / I guess you got under my skin.' This metaphor suggests that the person has deeply affected him, becoming an inseparable part of his being. The imagery of 'putting all my cards out on the table' signifies vulnerability and openness, while the other person's reluctance to 'show your hand' indicates a lack of reciprocation or emotional transparency.

Ayres' preference to 'hold you close than / Try to understand' underscores a desire for physical and emotional closeness over intellectual comprehension of the relationship's intricacies. This sentiment is further emphasized in the lines, 'Mornin' sun, mornin' high / Oh, I think this haze is for now my best disguise,' where he finds solace in the present moment, avoiding overthinking. The song beautifully captures the tension between the ease of loving someone and the difficulty of navigating the uncertainties and unspoken aspects of that love.
