It Seems Easy Lyrics

We can't keep living if it's not what we are doing
If all we are doing is waiting for death
We can't keep working, watching the clock
Putting on suits and failing our tests

We can't keep sleeping through all our alarms
We shouldn't set them at all
We can't keep commuting, sitting on trains
You had it right all along

Now it all seems easy to me

Now it all seems easy to me
Now it all seems easy to me
Seems easy to me
Seems easy to me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love the first two lines of this song.

Could this possibly be about suicide? He seems unhappy and unfulfilled by his life.

"Now it all seems easy to me Seems easy to me"

It seems easy that the solution would be to end it?
