I agree in general with the interpretations here. However anybody that has ever heard the magnificent Tom Waits song 'Martha' would instantly realise that this is intended as a companion piece, written about the two people that Tom and Martha each married (rather than each other as was 'meant to be'). Whilst Waits' song is subjective, this is objective - hence it being 'so easy from above'. If you're not familiar with 'Martha', I recommend you check it out because:
a) You'll instantly see the connection to this song and
b) It's one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
