Simple
Jü Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down low
Exchanging body heat
Your apartment feels so cold
So cold
I shouldn't be here we know
It's just the way you feel
That makes me feel so alive
That helps me to survive
It's a private affair
Don't say a single word
You know how to get me yeah
You know how to move me yeah
Miami in October
Hell starts to freeze over
I said that it was over
I said that it was over
Used to be so simple
Fucking you was so simple
It used to be so simple
Used to be so simple
Fucking you was so simple
It used to be so simple
In Jü's song "Simple," the lyrics paint a picture of a complicated and conflicted relationship. The song begins with the setting being described as "lights down low" and "exchanging body heat," suggesting a physical and intimate encounter. However, the atmosphere is contrasted by the coldness of the apartment, symbolizing the emotional distance between the two individuals involved. The singer acknowledges that they shouldn't be in this situation, but the intensity of the other person's presence makes them feel alive. The sense of touch becomes a coping mechanism, providing comfort and helping them survive the complex emotions.
The chorus repeats the phrase "used to be so simple," indicating that the relationship was once easy and uncomplicated. However, it has now become tangled and difficult. The act of being intimate with the other person used to be straightforward, but now it carries emotional weight and complications. The singer reminisces about the simplicity of their past encounters and expresses frustration and resignation in the lines "I said that it was over."
Overall, "Simple" delves into the complexities of a relationship that has evolved from being effortless to becoming emotionally burdensome. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for simplicity and a yearning for a return to the initial ease of the connection.
