Almost Easy Lyrics
I feel insane every single time
I'm asked to compromise
'Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways
And that's the way it stays
So how long did I expect
Love to outweigh ignorance?
By that look on your face
I may have forced the scale to tip
I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane
(I'm not)
(Mother) Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy
Shame pulses through my heart
From the things I've done to you
It's hard to face but the fact remains
That this is nothing new
I left you bound and tied
With suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin
But deep inside I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane
(I'm not)
(Mother) Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy
(You learned your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(It's still your fault)
Come back again, it's almost easy
Now that I've lost you, it kills me to say
(Hurts to say)
I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away
I'm losing the fight, I've treated you so wrong
Now let me make it right
(Make it all right)
I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane
(I'm not)
(Mother) Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy
(You learned your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(It's still your fault)
Come back again, it's almost easy
I'm asked to compromise
'Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways
And that's the way it stays
Love to outweigh ignorance?
By that look on your face
I may have forced the scale to tip
I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane
(I'm not)
(Mother) Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy
From the things I've done to you
It's hard to face but the fact remains
That this is nothing new
With suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin
But deep inside I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane
(I'm not)
(Mother) Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
(You learned your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(It's still your fault)
Come back again, it's almost easy
(Hurts to say)
I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away
I'm losing the fight, I've treated you so wrong
Now let me make it right
(Make it all right)
I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane
(I'm not)
(Mother) Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
(You learned your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(It's still your fault)
Come back again, it's almost easy

ok, anyone who has a problem with this song or says its meaningless, listen again. This song, I gotta say, reminds me of a personal tragedy. my mom, my only parent, died when i was 17 this past august. When she died of cancer, I was there the minute she died; i went nuts, i started screaming; "come back' over and over, I fuckin threw something at one of the nurses, then collapsed. I freaked out, for days, and months, i'd just fuckin scream for no reason, cry, break down in the middle of crowded places, and I didnt know why. I was always sensible. I think the song is about a loss so deep, and so painful that it makes you feel like you're insane, but you're not, and you're trying to justify it, you're just missing someone close to you....just lonely, not insane.
Actually i completely agree with you Sleeptones. When i first heard the song, prior to seeing the video, i thought it was about like love or something. Maybe for some1 he lost. But after seeing the video, the song has a whole different meaning than what i thought.
"Come back to me its almost easy"(the devil trying to sway back those he lost), henceforth ppl are coming back to him and jumping into hell willingly. "Shame pulses through my heart, from the things i've done to you, its hard to face, but the fact remains that this is nothing new"(ppl know that in the religious battle, siding with the devil will eventually lead to a life of eternal torture and pain, yet its nothing new to them as they know what they are doing and do it anyways. "Now that I’ve lost you it kill me to say(Hurts to say) , I try to hold on as you slowly slip away. I’m losing the fight. I treated you so wrong, now let me make it right. (Make it all right",.. (in the bible, the devil is destined to lose against God,...to sway ppl back to him even tho he's hurt them, he will grant something to them. Its kinda like when you hear ppl say they sold their soul to the devil for something, whether it be fame, or who knows. So the devil will make it right, even if for a brief time period and eventually turn back to screwing you over,...thats why he keeps saying Come back to me its almost easy),...."I let you down inside with suicidal memories, Selfish beneath the skin, But deep inside I'm not insane." (another example of the devil hurting ppl and being selfish in his ways to sway more ppl to join him in hell,..but yet feels deep inside he's not insane)
Well, thats what i came up with as my theory of what the video is about. When i first heard the song, i thought, finally, avenged sevenfold isnt quoting the bible and making more personal music, but they are still using their biblical and religious references. Thats who they are though, great music, but u have to definately listen to it with open eyese and ears, especially if u personally dont agree with anything they are saying. And i thought the song was about like some1 he loved or something. But After seeing the video, if u really put together the lyrics and video it makes sense, and i think that the song is almost exactly like my theory.
I'm not saying I disagree with you. I think your interpretation is wonderful, but just because A7x has a history of using religious megaphors and references doesn't mean they are limited to it.

If their video for Dear God was similar to Almost Easy, would you say "I thought this was about love, but now after watching the video I see it's about the devil mocking him"?

I wouldn't.

I think it's very possible this song could have both or either meanings, but don'tlet your original interpretation be altered because of a music video. Many artists make music videos that have nothing to do with the song's actual meaning. When I saw the video, I thought of Coheed and Cambria who have a storyline for their songs, but make off-the-wall music videos that mostly have nothing to do with the sotriy or theories of the story for that matter.
Either way, I like your interpretation but I'll stick with your firsty thoughts on it. They were mine too. They sound like someone who regrets treating another badly (doesn't have to be romantic), but not wanting them to leave.
@DaArtist401 you were right the first time, it is actually about the loss of someone that was so deep and so painful, that it feels like you are insane and that you are in a living hell.

@DaArtist401 Actually, the devil is really just the angel that was meant to test people of their faith. The song is more about a kid that lost his mother and his last words were something along the lines of I don't want to be around you or I hate you. Good theory though.

A7X Frontman M. Shadows explains: “Lyrically, it’s about… people messing up a lot in their lives – they fucked up all the time, and sometimes, it’s easy to forgive those people – sometimes, it’s not. It’s always easy to say ‘you’re forgiven’, but deep in your heart, you don’t really want to forgive that person, because almost easy is the catchphrase. It’s almost easy to say, ‘okay, you’re forgiven’, or it’s almost easy to let go, or it’s almost easy just to give up.”
such a bad ass fuckin song.
"Come back to me, its almost easy!" love that part.
pretty sure the ends "wont you let me make it right, make it alright"
Not really happy with the direction a7x is going been a long time fan since wtf was released, but I have to admit its pretty catchy, and I love the intro to this song.
Anyway the lyrics seem pretty right on, and seems like he misses someone he truely loves... sounds pretty desperate... the feeling of wishing you can be with someone again that you were with before and wish things can just patch up so easily
where can i listen to this song
Youtube? iTunes?
