Simple Life
Stan Van Samang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is blurring into one
I just wanna stop
And catch my breath
But it takes too long
I think I'll buy a ticket
To some empty space
The traffic from my head
And feel the sun
But it takes too long
I don't have time for this
The simple life is never
Where I think it is
I don't have time for this
The simple life is lost in everyday
I'm rushing through
I try to find some peace
Down by the riverside
Where I can feel
The ground beneath my feet
But it takes too long
A holy man is reaching out
His hand to me
He says there's
An oasis in my eyes
But he must be wrong
It takes too long
I don't have time for this
The simple life is never
Where I think it is
I don't have time for this
The simple life was lost when
All the fools came rushing in
The simple life was
Lost in everyday
I don't have time
Everyplace I go
Is blurring into one
I just wanna stop
The song "Simple Life" by Stan Van Samang is about feeling overwhelmed and lost in the chaos of everyday life. The singer of the song is struggling to find peace and simplicity in their life, and has tried various methods such as taking a break and going to an empty space or spending time by the riverside. However, they cannot escape the constant rush and noise around them. The holy man's offer of an oasis is dismissed by the singer as a false promise, as it is too difficult to achieve. The simple life is constantly lost in the everyday hustle and bustle of life.
The lyrics express a sense of exhaustion and frustration with modern life as well as a desire for simplicity and tranquility. The singer recognizes the importance of the simple life, but feels unable to find it. The repetition of the phrase "it takes too long" emphasizes the difficulty of finding peace and the impatience that comes with it. The final lines of the song bring the listener back to the beginning, with the singer still feeling lost and overwhelmed, longing to stop and catch their breath.
