The song "Easy On Your Own" by Alvvays is about taking a step back and reevaluating one's life choices. The narrator drops out of college, as they don't agree with the traditional "lettered life" and decides to take their own path in life. Despite being alone, the narrator still has hope that they can turn their life around and make something of it, asking if it will be easier on their own. The song ends with the question of whether it will be easier on their own, symbolizing the uncertainty of life and the difficulty of forging a unique path.
