Simplify
OMAR Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All at once I see something in your eyes
I wanna leave but I can't stay no way
And you would be my forever more
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now, now, now
Come on, yea, yeah
Let these cuddle way so subtle they desire
Just for you it's hard to mention until now
Just go, go
Be where you can go and let the jump in me
I'll be patient
That's a waste in come for love in me

Our best to simplify
It is you after me
Cause you'll have to qualify
Rest assured after me

Now, now, now
Come on, yea, yeah

Said I'll make you see
On me you can rely
Ain't afraid to how you
I provide
I'll be your man, I'll be your savior
Frustrating, it's time now to run in love with me

Our best to simplify
It is you after me
Cause you'll have to qualify
Rest assured after me





No, no, no

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Simplify" by Omar seem to be about a person who is trying to leave a relationship, but is pulled back in by the intensity of the other person's feelings for them. The singer sees something in their partner's eyes that makes it hard for them to leave, even though they know they should. The partner is portrayed as wanting a committed relationship ("you would be my forever more"), while the singer seems hesitant to make that kind of commitment.


The second verse seems to be the partner's response to the singer's hesitancy. They tell the singer to "just go" and be where they can be free, but also express their desire for the singer's love ("let the jump in me"). The singer is patient, but there seems to be a sense of inevitability in their relationship ("That's a waste in come for love in me").


The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "Our best to simplify." The singer seems to be suggesting that the ideal relationship would be simple and easy, but the partner's complex feelings make it difficult. The rest of the chorus seems to be reassuring the partner that they are the right person for them, despite any doubts.


Overall, "Simplify" is a song about the push and pull of a relationship, where one person wants more commitment than the other.

It almost makes me cry that someone as talented as this man isn't rolling in Grammy awards. The music chooses instead these here-today-gone-tomorrow Muppets. It's tragic.

So true. It's a cruel joke. The people who control the music are depraved.

I feel exactly the same but I had a massive smile on my face when he was rightly awarded his OBE. Great concert in 2013 @ Rich Mix. This album is super fly...
