Simple
The Violet Archers Lyrics

The Violet Archers's song "Simple" is a contemplative piece that describes the beauty in simplicity. The opening line "simple things are waiting for the one who wants it so "suggests that the fulfilment of one's life lies not in the grandiose but in the simple pleasures of life. The second line "You bet your bottom dollar, It'll cost less than you know." further buttresses the idea that simple things in life come at little or no cost, indicating that it is not the possession that brings happiness but the appreciation of what one has.

The chorus - "Blue hearts blue tears, Blue 'n' bruised 'n' sore, Blue skies waiting On the other shore" - is an artistic representation of the emotional journey one goes through in life, with ups and downs that make us better people. The blue skies waiting on the other shore are symbolic of the hope that lies ahead in life. The second verse, "A simple life's no mystery, Confusion lies without, Get washed in the water, Feel your light pour out" suggests that simplicity brings clarity and a sense of peacefulness that is often hard to find in the chaos of modern life.

The final verse encourages listeners to explore life and not take for granted what is around them. "Forsake not what's around you, For simple is close at hand, You might get tossed on water, But keep your heart peeled for land." This line urges people to keep their hearts open and be willing to explore the beauty that presents itself in life despite setbacks.
