Simple
ミスチル　Mr.Children Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Simple" by Mr.Children. The song expresses a sense of contemplation and introspection about life's struggles and the search for meaning.

The first verse talks about the singer's tendency to dwell on negative thoughts and how it can lead to feeling that life itself is meaningless. However, the presence of a special someone, referred to as "you," has the power to bring back the innocence and carefree spirit of their teenage years.

The chorus expresses the desire to live alongside this person for the next 10 or 20 years. Despite the sadness and detours they have encountered, they have realized that what they were searching for is something simple and essential.

The second verse recognizes that even during arguments or conflicts, this person's flaws and their ability to be true to themselves without reservation are attractive qualities to the singer. They imagine a scenario where they could exchange the scars they each carry, if only for a moment.

The bridge suggests that even in sad or melancholic moments, as long as they can create music or experiences together with this person, everything will be alright. The longing for what has been lost is accompanied by a subtle sense of hesitation and confusion, which they express subtly.

The final lines of the song express the singer's desire to weather life's challenges just like the grass and trees, standing firm and resilient in the pouring rain. They reaffirm their wish to have this person by their side for the next 10 or 20 years, and they believe that with them, they can believe in anything. They have come to realize that what they were searching for all along is something simple and necessary - the connection and trust they share with this person.
