Easy For You To Say
Surviving Life's Contradictions: Easy For You To Say
Lyrics
Who's that pillar of perfection
Reflecting on someone perceived as a model of perfection
Staring back in my reflection
Observing the perfect image in one's own reflection
If I'd only paid attention
Regretting not paying attention to something important
Listened from the wrong direction
Listening or following guidance from the wrong source
One day life will make corrections
Anticipating positive changes in life over time
'Til then I survive infection
Surviving challenges or hardships until corrections occur
Spread the word, evade detection
Spreading a message while avoiding being detected
I beat natural selection
Overcoming challenges against natural selection
Oh I'm the luckiest guy
Expressing gratitude for being fortunate
Must feel so good all the time
Assuming someone else's life is constantly good
Thank the heavens everyday
Thanking the heavens regularly
That's easy for you to say
Highlighting the ease of expressing gratitude for others
Punch card pharmacy prescription
Dependency on prescribed medications
Rent to not own scam subscription
Falling victim to a rental scam
Profit is its own affliction
Stating that profit itself can be burdensome
Stronger in the wrong position
Being stronger in an unfavorable situation
Living is a contradiction
Life being a paradox or conflicting experience
Fine print hid in the description
Hidden details in agreements or situations
Soldiers birthed into conscription
Individuals forced into military service
'Til inevitable eviction
Expecting an inevitable expulsion or removal
Oh yeah I get what I take
Understanding the concept of taking what one deserves
Made the best from a brutal break
Making the best out of a challenging situation
Inspiration, head the parade
Being a source of inspiration and leading others
That's easy for you to say
Emphasizing the ease of giving advice or encouragement
I walked all night in search
Searching for guidance in the words of others
Of someone else's words
Seeking solace or inspiration from external sources
To help me break this spell
Questioning the perfection of a supposed perfect friend
Aren't you the perfect friend?
Recognizing someone who knows oneself intimately
You know me better than
Expressing dependence on someone who understands deeply
I even know myself
Acknowledging a level of self-awareness
What would I ever do
Contemplating the impact of losing a close connection
If I did not have you
Questioning the ability to continue without vital support
How would I still go on?
Reflecting on the difficulty of moving forward alone
If this is "how we're made"
Considering the idea of trading one's situation for another
Would you not want to trade?
Questioning whether a different circumstance would bring strength
Would it not make you strong?
Reflecting on the potential positive outcomes of change
Come on
Repeatedly urging someone to take action
Come on
-Come on
-Come on
-Maybe someday when I'm stupid
Humorously contemplating future foolishness
I'll believe there's been improvement
Expressing doubt about personal improvement
Thought it but I couldn't prove it
Having a thought but lacking evidence to support it
Settled for my own amusement
Settling for personal amusement despite uncertainties
