Simple
BOYCOLD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It is simple but not easy
쉽게 생각하려 해도
눈에 보이는 것만큼 가깝지가 않아
I don't wanna let u go
자꾸만 새로워져
가만 보고 있는 게 낙인 걸
너를 쌓아 올릴수록 난 자꾸만 무너져
바라보고만 있게 돼

너와의 24시간은 꿈같애
잠에 들 수도 없어
Baby with no 카페인
넘실대는 너의 품에 다이빙
허우적허우적 넌 너무 깊어

너와의 24시간은 꿈같애
잠에 들 수도 없어
Baby with no 카페인
넘실대는 너의 품에 다이빙
허우적허우적 넌 너무 깊어

너와의 24시간은 미로 같애
벗어나 보려 해도
다시 돌아오게 돼
너와의 24시간 속에 갇히고 싶어
갇히고 싶어
어쩌면 우린 너무 멀리까지 왔어
빠져나올 수 없게
빠져나올 수 없게
너만을 원해 매일매일
더 많이 원해 매일매일
이미 중독되버린 걸까
나는 필요해 해결책이
네가 없어질 때 대비해

너와의 24시간은 꿈같애
잠에 들 수도 없어
Baby with no 카페인
넘실대는 너의 품에 다이빙
허우적허우적 넌 너무 깊어

너와의 24시간은 꿈같애
잠에 들 수도 없어
Baby with no 카페인




넘실대는 너의 품에 다이빙
허우적허우적 넌 너무 깊어

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Simple" by BOYCOLD. The song explores the complexity of a relationship that is both simple and yet difficult at the same time. The opening line, "It is simple but not easy," sets the tone for the rest of the song. It suggests that while the concept of the relationship may be straightforward, the actual execution and maintenance of it is challenging.


The following lines, "쉽게 생각하려 해도 눈에 보이는 것만큼 가깝지가 않아" can be interpreted as the struggle to perceive the relationship as close and tangible as it appears on the surface. This could imply that there are emotional barriers or distance that prevent the singer from fully connecting with their partner.


The line "I don't wanna let u go 자꾸만 새로워져" suggests that despite the difficulties, the singer still has a desire to hold onto the relationship. They acknowledge that their partner keeps changing or evolving, which may lead to feelings of uncertainty or instability. This ongoing transformation causes the singer to feel like they are constantly falling apart as they try to build a relationship.


The chorus further emphasizes the dreamlike nature of the relationship by mentioning the inability to sleep. The phrase "잠에 들 수도 없어" represents the singer's restless state, unable to find peace or rest because of their deep attachment to their partner. The reference to "Baby with no 카페인" could symbolize the addictive and energizing effect their partner has on them.


The repeated phrase "너와의 24시간은 꿈같애" highlights the dream-like quality once again, suggesting that being with their partner feels surreal and blissful. However, the metaphorical "미로" or maze indicates that the singer struggles to free themselves from the entanglement of the relationship. They express a desire to be trapped within those 24 hours, illustrating their longing and dependency on their partner.


The closing lines mention the singer's addiction to their partner, as they question whether they have already become hooked. The line "나는 필요해 해결책이 네가 없어질 때 대비해" suggests that the singer sees their partner as a solution to their problems, and they are mentally preparing themselves for the possibility of their partner's absence.


Overall, the song "Simple" by BOYCOLD delves into the paradoxical nature of a relationship that is both simple yet challenging. The lyrics convey the singer's deep attachment and longing for their partner, while acknowledging the difficulties and uncertainties they face.
