Keep It Easy
Embracing Imperfections: Bears In Trees' Poetic Ode to Love and Resilience
Lyrics
I kinda like my converse messy
I appreciate the worn and imperfect state of my Converse shoes.
Stitched at the seams
The shoes are hand-stitched, emphasizing a personal touch and care.
Fabric soaked in a fever dream
The fabric of the shoes carries the intensity of a vivid and immersive dream.
And my laces are vanguards
The laces of the shoes serve as protectors, avoiding entanglement with fast-paced, potentially harmful elements.
That steer clear of fast cars
The laces act as guardians, keeping a safe distance from things like fast cars.
While my body swerves
While my body moves unpredictably or dodges obstacles.
keep it easy keep it breezy
An expression of the desire to maintain a carefree and relaxed attitude.
I keep it easy
Reiteration of the commitment to keep things uncomplicated.
I keep it breezy
A repetition emphasizing the intention to maintain an easygoing demeanor.
I want to smile so hard it chokes me
Expressing the desire for overwhelming joy, to the point of speechlessness.
And the streetlamps know, they're calling my bluff
Streetlamps metaphorically understand or expose a deception.
Seven am, catch a headrush
Experiencing a rush of energy or excitement at 7 am.
This glass is cracked
A glass is cracked, possibly symbolizing a fragile or imperfect relationship.
I hold your heart in my hand
The speaker holds someone's heart with care and importance.
We stand in the rooftop
A shared moment on a rooftop in the warmth of January.
In January heat
Despite the cold month, the atmosphere is filled with love.
We are all in love
A universal declaration that everyone is experiencing love.
Luke doesn't tell us enough
A friend named Luke is not sharing enough information or feelings.
We are all in love
Reiteration of the idea that love is a shared experience for everyone.
Sweetheart don't look so scared
Comforting someone who appears frightened or anxious.
I'm gonna bottle up all of your worst fears
The speaker intends to alleviate and confront their partner's fears.
And send them out to sea
Turning negative emotions into something positive and letting them go.
They'll wash up somewhere radiant and evergreen
Ensuring that those fears find a beautiful and enduring place to fade away.
I'll etch them into the bus stop glass
Preserving the memory of challenges or struggles in a public space.
Let em sink into the carvings of the couples that didn't last
Allowing difficulties to become part of shared histories.
The world ends around us every day
The acknowledgment that the world faces constant challenges and transformations.
I'll be your flowers, your pouring rain
The speaker commits to being a source of both beauty and emotional release for their partner.
