Cover art for It's Gettin' Easy lyrics by Dear and the Headlights

To me this song has nothing to do with suicide. Its about him holding in his feelings and thoughts during a time when he should be healthily expressing them such as in an argument with his girlfriend. Instead he is focused on not saying how he feels by "My overbite clenched, set in place" and enforcing it with his "straight jacket mind" and as hes done it so many times "Its getting easy" for him to do it Also he's lacking for anything to say "I wish I had a single thought the least bit legitimate enough" and he knows its killing him to keep his feelings hidden hence "The executioner looks exactly like me, it’s me"
