Simply to Live
Ideas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are clouds in the sky,
The roaring wind has blown my life away.
But I can still remember the embracing of the last sunrays
And how my happiness escaped.

The storm has been going on for hundred days,
I'm waiting for it to strike on me,
But the silhouette of the sun is calling me -
Living in a shame, I suffer from pain.

I've made some sins.
But only I?
I've killed the clear wonderful happiness,
But my hands are not covered with blood.

Will the fight of the heavens be finished?
The lake has reached my feet.
I'm ready for the last word,
But I'm still waiting for the absolving light...

[Epilogue]
I'm standing here, on top of the hill,
I need a word and I will stay.





[Laszlo Bekesi Jr.]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Simply to Live" by Ideas depict a sense of loss and desolation, as the singer reflects on a life that has been taken away by the stormy winds. The clouds in the sky symbolize the turmoil in their mind, and the weight of their past sins weighs heavy on them. They long for the warmth and comfort of the last sunrays, but instead, their happiness has escaped them.


The hundred-day storm represents the trials and challenges that the singer has faced, and they are waiting for it to strike them again. The silhouette of the sun beckons them to keep going, but they feel trapped by their shame and the pain of their past mistakes. They question whether they are the only one to have sinned, but their hands are not covered in blood, indicating that their mistakes may have been more internal rather than external.


As the lake reaches their feet, they are ready for the final reckoning, but they are still waiting for absolution. The epilogue ends the song on a hopeful note, with the singer standing on top of a hill, waiting for a word that will allow them to stay.

What are you try to pull? In the beer and lemon mixture, you used the clip from the coke and toothpaste mixture demonstration. Also, get a funnel.
