Easy is the second song from the South African-Australian singer Troye Sivan's album In a Dream, released on July 15, 2020, alongside the music video, which was directed by Sivan himself and nominated for the ARIA Music Awards for Best Video.

In it, the artist can be seen wandering through a house with a gray and anodyne atmosphere, while the lyrics are telling an agonizing love break. The house becomes his private prison, exposing the psychological consequences that confinement by Covid-19 has brought.
Throughout the video, Troye Sivan shows how our homes have become the only space that we saw and traveled during confinement, making it necessary on many occasions to resort to other virtual worlds offered by the entertainment industry.

In this way, we are shown two different worlds during the video. The first is the dull and gray house in which the singer ends up going crazy, seeing how the walls begin to distort in his head, while he prowls around the house without any apparent direction or meaning. This reality contrasts with a second virtual world, colorful and festive, in which Sivan pays tribute to David Bowie.

Lyrics.-
 
You ran away to find something to say
I went astray to make it okay
And he made it easy, darlin’
I’m still in love and I say that because
I know how it seems between you and me
It hasn’t been easy darlin’

I can’t even look at you
Would you look at the space just next to your feet?
The wood is warping
The lines distorting

This house is on fire, woo!
Burning the tears
Right off my face
What the hell did we do?
Tell me we’ll make it through

‘Cause he made it easy
Easy
Please don’t leave me
Leave me

What’s left of the dance?
That’s all on my hands
The rock in my throat
A hair on my coat
The stranger at home my darling
(Like some kind of freak, my darlin’)
Now I’m vulnerable
So sad and alone
But don’t cry for me
‘Cause everyone knows
You reap what you sow my darling
I can’t even look at you
Would you look at the space just next to your feet?
The wood is warping
The lines distorting

This house is on fire, woo!
Burning the tears
Right off my face
What the hell did we do?
Tell me we’ll make it through

‘Cause he made it easy
Easy
Please don’t leave me
Leave me

I can’t even look at you
Would you look at the space just next to your feet?
The wood is warping
The lines distorting

This house is on fire, woo!
Burning the tears
Right off my face
What the hell did we do?
Tell me we’ll make it through

‘Cause he made it easy
Easy
Please don’t leave me
Leave me
