COMMENT:
"So easy" was the first song composed for X-Rayed. From this point on we knew, that our 4th CD would yet be our most emotional work. The loop for this song was added later, as we wanted to contrast the rather emotional melodies with a straight modern touch. I think it is a good opener as it has some parallels to "Deep Inside" - the opener of AP - and therefore still holds the "Sylvan spirit"; but it also adds a more aggressive and more personal part to our music. It's dealing with the emotional numbness conquering oneself in order to avoid the pain ... it's much easier to forget then to face it.
LYRICS:
When you breathe in memories and your thoughts are light-years away
When the past takes root in your head
Yet your glance shows agony - on the edge of losing yourself
You should not suppress it again
Drifting through a colder time - petrified in vain
In frigidity it is so easy
Freezing up your warmer side - paralyze the pain
It is so easy, it's so easy, it's so easy ...
Civilized your thoughts and finally forgot how bitterly you cried
And now it agitates, it thaws cos I can see it in your eyes
Try to forsake your tears but in the end it suffocates your lies
When you count those endless days in a restless silence alone
Will you ever know whom to blame ?
Wiping off your former life - slipping down again
Drowning all this pain cos it's so easy
Acting simply synthesized - numb but so insane
It is so easy, it's so easy, it's so easy ...
Where to find your promises ? Broken and light ...
Will you ever cope with it ? Maybe sometime ...
How you could become like this ? Faceless and blind ...
Slipping down again ... suck out your life inside never find indead that you need to be what you once symbolize
... it's so easy if you try ...
