Loving Is Easy (DEZMO x OSCOB Version)

Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a picture of relentless forward motion, a constant "merry-go-round" of days and times. There's a palpable sense of striving, a desire to "grab a chance" somewhere "in that town." This ambition is met with the stark reality that "it's still too early to cry," implying that setbacks are inevitable but not yet final. The repeated phrase "just have to move forward" underscores a determined, almost resigned, push toward an unknown future. The core tension lies between this hopeful pursuit and the acknowledgment of difficulty. The narrator seems to be grappling with the idea that success isn't guaranteed and that perseverance is the only viable path, even if it's a lonely one. The inclusion of "something there inside of me" suggests an internal drive or resilience that fuels this forward momentum, a private wellspring of strength. The most striking aspect is the juxtaposition of the English phrase "Loving is easy" with the Japanese and the repeated "Crime." This creates a jarring contrast, suggesting that perhaps the ease of love is only a facade or is overshadowed by some transgression or difficult circumstance. The frantic repetition of "-itai no" (which can imply wanting or pain) and "ka nai wa" (meaning "won't buy" or "won't sell," but also potentially "won't lose" or "won't die" depending on context) amplifies this sense of unease and struggle beneath the surface. This lyrical construction is effective because it taps into a universal feeling of pushing through hardship while maintaining a semblance of hope. The fragmented, repetitive nature of the phrases mirrors the cyclical, sometimes overwhelming, nature of daily life and ambition. The unexpected inclusion of "Crime" and the insistent "Loving is easy" creates a compelling, almost paradoxical emotional landscape that lingers long after listening.
