Simple
K.I.N.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Humanos que se amam
Humanos que se matam
Humanos que ajuntam
Humanos que espalham
Humanos que vendem
Humanos que compram
Humanos que roubam
Humanos que em amor gostam muito de falar
Mas nunca fazem nada para o demonstrar
Humanos que pedem a paz em toda a Terra
E a buscam com armas e tanques de guerra
Quando vamos viver a vontade do Deus Pai
De viver Seu amor, de vivermos em paz
Humanos que só falam e fazem muito pouco
Humanos que só julgam e se enxergam pouco
Humanos que em Deus gostam muito de falar
Mas não O conhecem nem O querem aceitar
Humanos que da vida pensam saber tudo
Mas esquecem de que são pó, como todo mundo
Humanos que Deus sabe, sempre vão errar
Mas sempre vai estender a mão àquele que O chamar
These lyrics, from K.I.N.G.'s song "Simple," explore the contradictions and ironies within human behavior and beliefs. The first verse addresses the paradoxical actions of humans, highlighting how they can both love and kill, gather and scatter, trade and steal. It portrays humanity as a complex and multi-dimensional species capable of both noble and destructive actions.
The second verse delves into the hypocrisy of human behavior. It criticizes those who talk about love but fail to demonstrate it through their actions. It also questions the sincerity of those who advocate for peace while simultaneously engaging in warfare and violence. The lyrics imply a longing for humans to truly live according to the values espoused by a higher power, specifically referencing God and the desire to live in love and peace.
Moving on to the third verse, the lyrics criticize those who talk too much but do too little. It condemns those who pass judgment on others without truly understanding them. It also addresses the hypocrisy of those who claim to speak in the name of God but fail to truly know and accept the teachings of their faith.
The final lines of the lyrics acknowledge that humans may make mistakes, but it emphasizes that God will always extend a helping hand to those who call out to Him. It suggests that despite the flaws and imperfections of humanity, divine love and forgiveness are always available to those who seek it.
Overall, these lyrics reflect a deep contemplation on the contradictions and shortcomings of human behavior, as well as a longing for a more genuine and peaceful way of being. They question the authenticity of human actions, beliefs, and desires while also acknowledging the potential for redemption and growth.
