Keep it Simple
vianney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so cold, comfort, comfort me
It's 3AM, I'm feverly
Help me doctor, heal my pain
'Cause I don't really want no Mary Jane

Oh, la-la-la
Et si le problème était moi?
Si j'ai mal, c'est du mal, à parler
Oh, quand on aime
Si le dire est un problème
Finir seul, faut pas s'étonner

We'll keep it simple (ouh-ouh-ouh)
Doctor (ouh-ouh-ouh)
We'll keep it simple (youh-ouh-ouh)
You're the only medicine I'll be taking

We'll keep it simple, baby

Emmurer nos émotions
Parfois, ma foi, les gens le font
À la fin, au fond, tout ça fait
Qu'on a mal, on a l'âme en chantier

Oh, la-la-la
From my Jimmy to my jaw
Every bone and every part of me's aching
Won't you, can't you see
Catch a break, chuck it to me
Any medicine you give me, I'm taking

We'll keep it simple (ouh-ouh-ouh)
Doctor (ouh-ouh-ouh)
We'll keep it simple (youh-ouh-ouh)
You're the only medicine I'll be taking

We'll keep it simple, baby

Oh, la-la-la
My Jimmy to my jaw
Every bone and every part of me's aching
Dis, quand on aime
Si le dire est un problème
On ne vit qu'à côté de sa vie

Oh, we'll keep it simple (yeah, oh)
Oh, Doctor (ouh-ouh-ouh)
Oh, we'll keep it simple, baby (we'll keep it simple, keep it simple)
You're the only medicine I'll be taking





We'll keep it simple, baby (again)
We'll keep it simple, baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vianney's song "Keep it Simple" are about seeking comfort and healing from a lover or partner. The opening lines express the singer's physical discomfort and desire for relief from their pain. The repeated chorus of "We'll keep it simple" and "You're the only medicine I'll be taking" suggests that the singer values the simplicity and comfort of their relationship and relies heavily on their partner for emotional support.


The bridge of the song introduces the idea that people often bury their emotions and become emotionally distant from their own lives. The line "On ne vit qu'à côté de sa vie" ("We only live beside our own lives") suggests that by keeping things simple and seeking comfort in a partner, the singer is actively pushing against this tendency towards emotional closure and disconnection.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and emotional dependence on the part of the singer. The repeated refrain of "keep it simple" suggests a desire for a simple, uncomplicated life in which emotional pain can be soothed by the presence and support of a loving partner.

Amo cada momento de este video! MIKA es una de mis inspiraciones estéticas, creo que lo que hace es, cómo dice la canción: simple, pero tiene una gran propuesta visual y musical detrás que me inspira demasiado.

Y eso que yo me dedico a la medicina.

A Vianney ya lo conocía, todavía no me logra convencer del todo pero está colaboración es HERMOSA.

Gracias a los dos por esto
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

Saludos desde México 🇲🇽🤩
