Simple Things
Joel Piper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're racing all around
We've got our own agendas
We need to settle down
If this crazy world will let us

I complicate now
Put my heart underground
Dont wanna do this anymore

(Chorus)
Its the simple things in life
That keep us going and going and going
Today we're giving peace a try
We'll keep it flowin and flowin and flowin

Its all beneath the surface
We need to get inside
A deeper self emotion
It's love that gets us high

Don't hesitate now
Let's live above ground
Its what we're fighting for

Chorus

(Bridge)
We don't need to know now
Every reason every answer
All that we hold now
Is only moving faster
There is no hope alone
Woah oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh





Chorus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Joel Piper's song Simple Things revolve around the idea that we often get so caught up in our busy lives that we forget to appreciate the small things that really matter. The first verse talks about how our lives are always on the go, and we have our own agendas to follow. However, amidst all the chaos, we need to slow down and take a breather. The singer then introspects, confessing how he tends to complicate things, and it's time to put his heart out there.


In the chorus, the message becomes clearer, which is that the simple things in life keep us going. Sometimes all it takes is a little act of kindness or a walk in nature to lift our spirits. We need to give peace a chance and keep the positive vibes flowing, and the little things that inspire us are ours to hold and cherish.


In the second verse, the focus shifts to the idea that there's more to life than just material possessions. It's essential to go beneath the surface and get in touch with our deeper emotions. The lyrics urge us to choose love, which is what ultimately gives us the most satisfaction and happiness. The bridge intertwines the themes of hope and acceptance, conveying the message that life is ever-changing, and everything is happening faster than we can keep up with. However, we are not alone, and we have to keep moving forward.
