Simple Song
The Procussions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On the audio canvas stands this man with his hands as a mantis
submerged in the word like Atlantis to plant this seed, we feeding of the Root of David
and finally freed from enslavement see this is where the pavement
meets the path and the power principles of purity are unmasked at last our direction is that of the outcast
out lasting temptation like the thirty day fast redeemed from the past renamed in the present
i sing to the King Who came as a Peasant offering that pleasant state of humility
the light of the world with the strength and the ability to transform norm to extraordinary
making prophets out of prosecutors if necessary and rags to revolution poetry from pollution
felon to family man problem to solution and the solution is clear
the revolution is near no more confusing people with fear the constitution appears to make freedom a right
but you know its only found in the sun light i say you know its only found in the Son right
i got one aim One Love and one mic...come on

Hook
at a lost for words i heard something in my mind sing (lala..lala..la.la)
without a care in the world i stand firm on a cloud singing (lala..la..la.la.la) waking up at the dawn i had a song in my heart it goes (la..la..la..la.la.la)
i found peace in a vision of love and yo it

Rez
is it deliberate intention to rush to our destruction
is self hate the face that need's not introduction
is what we're fighting for just what we're wring for
these notes i write are more just line me behind a metaphor
scripting with a purpose the fire that's burning
yearning to show us the light in times that's uncertain
the struggles so fragile being reduced to gravel the built back again
a breathe of live refreshing a dead mannequin a new man
begins a new champion claims the win for the team
well versed in the lessons of hurt it's extreme insecurities
we have are written right on our sleeve like…
tabs of acid name brands and badges and birth control
give in medicinal patches addiction is fashioned acceptable
actions from sociable addict
living this sickly image in this modern day Rome we murder our own
die by the cell phone and yet we can't can not connect that buying gem stones
does not reflect or make a good home
government judging the world by the way that we live and yet our parents are afraid of our kids
teachers would rather suspend in stead of listen to 'em




lost pursuing this American dream my father giving me a
song to sing to put my mind at ease

Overall Meaning

The Procussions's song Simple Song is a powerful commentary on the state of society and the importance of finding peace and humility in the midst of chaos. The first verse describes a man who is deeply grounded in the word and is focused on planting a seed of truth that will eventually lead to freedom from enslavement. The lyrics speak to the struggle between temptation and redemption, and the choice that each person must make to follow the path of purity and reject the seduction of the world. The chorus, with its simple and repetitive lalala melody, reflects the freedom and joy that comes from being at peace with oneself and finding contentment in the moment.


The second verse, performed by Rez, delves into the many challenges that face society today, including self-hate, addiction, and insecurity. He questions whether our obsession with material possessions and status symbols is ultimately leading us to our own destruction, and suggests that the only way to break free from this cycle is to embrace a new way of thinking and living. He also touches on the divide between generations, with parents who are afraid of their own children and teachers who are quick to punish rather than listen. Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency and a call to action, urging listeners to open their eyes to the truth and to take steps towards positive change.


Overall, Simple Song is a powerful and thought-provoking commentary on the human condition, with lyrics that are both poetic and deeply rooted in reality. The song encourages listeners to re-examine their own lives and to embrace a more humble and compassionate way of being in the world.
