Simple
Aquasun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This feeling like I am not what I should've been
Something you can't adore
Simple is complex
I tried to find your heart
But you hid it in your decks
Trembling thoughts pass
In my daily mess
It seems vast
I'll eventually explode
Like a grenade
And regress
What if you were me?
Would you see something worth
In these truly senseless and surely surreal
Place of abandoned dreams?
You are in luck if you're finding something worth
Trembling thoughts pass
Through my tranquil dreams of being placid and still
In my daily mess
It seems vast
I'll eventually explode
Like a grenade
And regress
You're crushed
You've realized
Nothing's really that important
Little's worth your angst
Nothing is disguised
Nothing's immortal
You are my last chance
Ardent thoughts pass
Through my tranquil dreams of being placid and still
In my daily mess
It seems vast
I'll eventually explode
Like a grenade
And regress
The song "Simple" by Aquasun is a slow and contemplative tune about the complexities and insecurities of life. The opening lyrics, "I've been here before, this feeling like I am not what I should've been, something you can't adore, simple is complex," suggest a sense of self-doubt and a struggle to find one's place in the world. The songwriter is trying to find someone's heart, but it seems as though that person has hidden it away, becoming a fruitless pursuit. The overall theme of the song is one of being lost and seeking answers.
As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to a more general sentiment of being overwhelmed in everyday life. The line "trembling thoughts pass through my tranquil dreams of being placid and still" portrays a yearning for peace amidst chaos. The feeling of being crushed and realizing that nothing is really that important is voiced in the chorus: "You're crushed, you've realized nothing's really that important, little's worth your angst, nothing is disguised, nothing's immortal, you are my last chance." The verses and the choruses describe two different aspects of the songwriter's emotional world: the former talks about the internal world, while the latter is more focused on the external.
Overall, the lyrics to "Simple" are a deep introspection of human frailties, the unanswerable questions of life, and the complexities of trying to find oneself amid the chaos of existence.
