Simple
工藤静香 Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Simple" by Kudo Shizuka. The song reflects on the transient nature of life and the need to embrace simplicity amidst the complexities and uncertainties of life. It begins with the comparison of the drifting clouds, with the heart flowing without a destination in mind. The singer acknowledges that they are now alone and open to the mischievous winds of daily life.

The lyrics then reminisce about a past moment when some unfinished words were dropped, symbolizing a moment of vulnerability and deep affection. The beauty of that affection is compared to fallen leaves, where the shadow of the loved one is reflected. The song continues by describing a path that leads towards winter, adorned with regrets shining in golden colors. Despite the warmth of the regret, the singer's feelings cannot reach the fingertips of the loved one, but they still long to warm them with their embrace.

The lyrics also express the ever-changing nature of time and the importance of holding onto simple things. In the midst of confusion and hesitation, the singer walks while embracing simplicity in their heart. The complexities of overthinking lead to losing sight of what is being searched for, but the answer is always found by their side in the form of the kindness given by the loved one.

The nostalgic voice and smile are transformed into warmth, and even the sadness of small flowers is absorbed by the sky. The song ends by emphasizing the path towards winter, where regrets blend into golden light. Despite the inability to reach the loved one's fingertips, the singer vows to warm their untouchable feelings with their own arms.
