Song Meaning of “Go Easy On Me” by John Mayer
Go Easy On Me speaks to the struggles of navigating life in an unpredictable and often difficult world. John Mayer paints a vivid picture of how it once he hit a wall and felt like it was too hard to move on. He reflects on how at times it’s hard to determine what is the right decision, and how sometimes it can be hard to take the right steps in life. He looks for acceptance of his faults and begs for understanding, asking the world to “go easy on me.” Despite his moments of doubt and second guessing, he still has faith that everything will work out in the end. He sincerely expresses his need for kindness and mercy, as though he’s asking the world to be a little bit easier on him. He invites listeners to realize that even when it can be hard to stay strong, it’s important to take courage and strive for better days.
