Lyrics & Translation

This track is a masterclass in linguistic irony. By listening to the lyrics, you can explore the vocabulary of 'leisure' and 'luxury' while analyzing how tone changes the meaning of words. It is a unique entry point for understanding how songwriters use upbeat language to create eerie, dark moods.

[English]

I'm chandeliering, now I'm fearing the worst

I hang from the ceiling, hear you pray for my curse

Those supposed to love me the most are breaking my heart

Wish I could share a bit more, too petrified

The sound of your voice and the things that you say

Just shut up and **** me, or shut up and go away

You drive me crazy, for sure, but I can do that myself

If you need me, come and see me on Easy Street

I ain't hard to find

Down on the floor under the couch are the keys to life

Been there the whole time

"Violence is never the answer," you say?

I question how he's not been punched in the face

I'm not like that anymore, been dead a long time

I don't believe in luck, so you can have mine

Drinking don't help, but it sure blocks out the help

Don't ruin the vibe, I do all that by myself

Sorry for your loss, but you lost

If you need me, come and see me on Easy Street

I ain't hard to find

Amazing to be lost in a maze

You've made up in your mind

Made up in your mind

Made up in your mind
