Smiles from cheek to cheek, so many butterflies you could fly to the moon, laughs so merry even Santa would be jealous. All of a sudden transition to tears that fall so rapidly clouds can’t even keep up. Pain so severe you can feel your heart breaking, sobs so loud not even your pillow can drown them out.
In “Easy” by Rascal Flatts the boy is going through a tough
breakup and is trying to pass it off like he doesn’t care, but the little
things that remind him of her make the pain worse. Like he says in the song
“What she don’t know, is how hard it is to make it look so easy”, this just
proves that although he’s smiling and acting normal, on the inside he’s falling
apart and is having a hard time getting over her.
"The truth is, I miss laying in those arms of his. But I won't, ever let it show."
He’s not the only one suffering though. This is a line from the girl's point of view in this song. If this entire song was in the girl’s point of view it would be similar because she said she basically feels the same way.
With both of their point of views in this song, it’s very
easy to relate to because at one point or another we all go through a tough
break up. In most songs there’s just one point of view but this one is more
relatable in the way of having two different perspectives to relate to. The
song would be changed drastically if one of them didn’t feel the same way
though. I personally think the song would be more interesting if for example
the girl didn’t feel the same. The boy would be hurting and the girl would be
moved on and ready to start a new chapter in her life.
When the sobs stop; the pain subsides, look for the
bright side. Everything happens for a reason; now you just have to find it.
Don’t stay in the past, move into the future. There’s a reason our eyes are in
front of heads and not the back, don’t look back. It might not be easy, but
it’ll be worth it.
