Muse – Easily Lyrics 6 years ago
This song is such a personal matter for me, so I believe I’ll describe it in the two ways I believe it should be. It’s awkward I know.

- Video-Movie-ish. When the lyric begins with:

‘Let your inhibitions go
Make every touch electrical
When you're feeling beautiful
Will you remember me?’

There’s this guy who dreams about someone who cannot reach, wakes up, gets anxious, ‘cause he firmly believes not even in his dreams he might escape from this person, he feels haunted by her, ‘cause he is missing and can’t forget nor forgive, it reflexes on the second verse:

‘I want to touch you deep inside
And find the secrets that you hide
When you fears are cast aside
Will you remember me?’

So he shuts down himself for a second and then the verse comes.

‘Easily forgotten love
Easily forgotten love
It's not so easily’

Change of location asap, he’s standing in front of a grave:

‘I just want to let you know
My mind refuses to let you go
I wanna hypnotise you so
You will remember me’

Then comes the same verse but hint here, it comes with a very emotional solo.
Which in very quick and clear images, you can see he believes he’s seeing her being unfaithful, he rans away, she runs after him, a car struck against her by accident, she confesses it was a misunderstanding, next minute she’s dead.

‘Easily forgotten love
Easily forgotten love
It's not so easily’
(Solo)

Guilty can be a killer as well, that’s why he repeats the same all over. Standing on the initial grave, he plays with a little box inside his pocket. He puts it on the grave and turns around.

‘Easily forgotten love
Easily forgotten love
Easily the best I ever had
Easily the best I ever had’

In the very last end, he quickly turns again and founds out the box is open with the ring he bought for her still in it. That’s when you figure he loves her, she does as well, wherever she’s now; just can’t be together anymore.

End of my Mexican novela. LOL. Now the meaning according just to the lyrics.
- Lyrics-ish.

‘Let your inhibitions go
Make every touch electrical
When you're feeling beautiful
Will you remember me?
I want to touch you deep inside
And find the secrets that you hide
When you fears are cast aside
Will you remember me?’

The first verse basically says all over very clear (at least to me) he’s pleading for an answer, he’s there for her, even tho he realizes he might not be what she aims; but she loved him once, that’s why he asks and pledges at the same time.

‘Easily forgotten love
Easily forgotten love
It's not so easily’
Yeah, maybe she got over it. He didn’t. Hard to accept you are the losing one when the other just let you pass as if nothing ever happened.

‘I just want to let you know
My mind refuses to let you go
I wanna hypnotise you so
You will remember me’

As it is this verse, means every single word. I can’t forget you, please remember me.

‘Easily forgotten love
Easily forgotten love
It's not so easily
Easily forgotten love
Easily forgotten love
Easily the best I ever had
Easily the best I ever had’

Same than the last one, just adding that his love was the best he ever had. Like the ‘Grey Sky Morning-Best I’ve ever had’ song by Vertical Horizon (fully recommended btw) resuming it, this very song, Vertical Horizon says: ‘Hey you are the best that ever happened for me, not for that you want me back, neither do I. Even tho I’m still in love with you’. Contrary case in here. Where the feelings seems one-sided.

The End. LOL.
Sorry for my grammar. In fact I dunno speak English as a native. Cheers.
