Almost Easy song meaning
Almost Easy is the second track on their self-titled album, and was written by The Rev. At first, Synyster Gates refused to play song, calling it “cheesy.” But The Rev insists it was to have a “shredding, aggressive vibe… an old school vibe.” M. Shadows explains: “Lyrically, it’s about… people messing up a lot in their lives – they fuck up all the time, and sometimes, it’s easy to forgive those people – sometimes, it’s not. It’s always easy to say ‘you’re forgiven’, but deep in your heart, you don’t really want to forgive that person, because almost easy is the catchphrase. It’s almost easy to say, ‘okay, you’re forgiven’, or it’s almost easy to let go, or it’s almost easy just to give up.”
