Easy/Lucky/Free Lyrics
Artist(Band):Bright Eyes
Did it all get real, I guess it's real enough
They got refrigerators full of blood
Another century spent pointing guns
At anything that moves
Sometimes I worry that I've lost the plot
My twitching muscles tease my flippant thoughts
I never really dreamed of heaven much
Until we put him in the ground
But it's all I'm doing now
Listening for patterns in the sound
Of an endless static sea
But once the satellite's deceased
It blows like garbage through the streets
Of the night sky to infinity
But don't you weep (don't you weep for them)
Don't you weep (don't you weep)
There is nothing as lucky
Honey, don't you weep (don't you weep for them)
Don't you weep (don't you weep)
There is nothing as lucky, as easy, or free
Don't be a criminal in this police state
You better shop and eat and procreate
You got vacation days then you might escape
To a condo on the coast
I set my watch to the atomic clock
I hear the crowd count down til the bomb gets dropped
I always figured there'd be time enough
I never let it get me down
But I can't help it now
Looking for faces in the clouds
I got some friends I barely see
But we're all planning to meet
We'll lay in bags as dead as leaves
All together for eternity
But don't you weep (don't you weep for them)
Don't you weep (don't you weep)
There is no one as lucky
Honey, don't you weep (don't you weep for them)
Don't you weep (don't you weep)
There is nothing as lucky, as easy, or free
Or free, or free, or free
There's nothing, there's nothing, there's nothing...

Review about Easy/Lucky/Free
hm. | Reviewer: aidalis grotesque | 7/2/09
its about a couple things. um. mainly i think its about questioning the after life and if this life is worth it. alot of this requires a backround knowledge. like 'listening to and endless static sea' is about a machine that was created to listen to tthe decised. and 'pointing guns at anything that moves' is a metaphor for punishment in freedom of speech or assasination etc; and living in a robotic society 'you better shop and eat and pro create.'....but then again what do i know. im 15.
Ignorance vs. Knowledge | Reviewer: kittenjain | 4/16/09
I think this song is about ignorance. Knowing better and seeing nothing but rampant intolerance all around you. I think it is almost comforting though, like knowledge and wisdom are easy, lucky and free. Don't pity ignorant people because it is not so much about them- it is about the fact that you are lucky that you know better. "There is nothing as lucky, as easy or free" as knowledge.
Existential Angst | Reviewer: Skeetweasel | 3/26/09
Caleb -
I do not believe this really has anything to do with God. If you look at it on the surface then yes, but this is a song, you can't take anything to be literal.
I think this song was written to as a way to relieve existential angst, simple as that.
my review | Reviewer: andy | 12/15/08
I think its more about death being freedom. Meaning there is nothing as easy, lucky, or free as death. I dont think its about God or Heaven but more about how death is freedom from worry, and how death is easy but living is hard.
Re: Caleb's post. | Reviewer: stephanie | 11/4/08
I don't believe it's about believing in god. But more so the death and coping with it. And heaven being metaphorical because you're right. All we are certain of is death.. so more so a heaven is being with the ones you lost and loved. so don't cry for the dead cause now there with all the ones that they have lost in the past.
DEATH | Reviewer: Caleb | 7/31/08
This shows how great death will be. Its not the end but just the beginning so don't weep for the ones who have past cause the only thing that is certain in life is death. The question is do you believe in God to join them there.
this song | Reviewer: katherine | 8/6/07
