Lyrics:
You know i'm just a simple man
Don't say much, but that's the plan
Keep everyone wondering while I can
But when I do throw out a simple phrase
It may amaze
Because you don't need to be an essay
With details of everything about you
In all honesty, only a select few
Knew how I grew
And molded myself into the man I am today
But to the outside world, I can be introverted they say
It's just how I am and hope to keep it that way
People may tell me to groom
Because they assume
I might be feeling under the clouds, that I'm letting it consume
Me alive
But I thrive
That they don't know I'm more alive
Than them
Because I'm just being me, that's the gem
No need to condemn
Because I don't follow
Societal purpose, I know it's hard to swallow
Because the world is deliberately hollow
My aim is simplicity
To me society is toxicity
I don't want to be in the burden of complicity
I'm just too smart
That's what sets me apart
I know I don't need a change of heart
I have always observed from the start
My surroundings, like a delicate work of art
I was also part of the madness
Concerning sadness
But still overcame times of badness
Always seen as the little shy boy
Who would never express joy
But hey, it's just me, I'm the real McCoy
Just because I'm not "out there" you think I'm never in a good mood
But you don't know me well enough to know that I'm a cool dude
I'm not here to delude
I'm not with the societal expectation
I do what I like because it's my vocation
Don't need no further explanation
I don't like manipulation
Be real with me and we can keep communication
Everything is easy to understand, no need for translation
--------------------
You know i'm just a simple man
Don't say much, but that's the plan
Keep everyone wondering while I can
I was always the one that was quiet
Wouldn't even think of starting a riot
Always obeying the rules, compliant
But after so many years
Many cheers
Many tears
I realized I was living a lie
As the time went on passing me by
Everyone's expectations of me were too Damn high
I got tired of being pushed to be the best
Years of not being who I wanted to be needed to become addressed
It was hard to digest
But the purpose I was given
The expectations that I was driven
Never made me feel complete
Something was missing, that I needed to treat
So come, take a seat
Even with all this my life wasn't fulfilling
Thrilling
Because I was unwilling
To admit something was wrong
All along
Because I was blind lifelong
But well I'm my best version now, and that's long gone
I won't be a pawn
To society telling me how to live and so on
I'm gone like the wind
From products to make us feel better that they pinned
Our essences they have skinned
I won't be a victim of their ways no more
I've changed for the better and got out through the front door
Left all my demons set aside on the floor
Just because of my hard shell exterior
You all think im inferior
My life now has an ulterior
Motive, In a nutshell
I broke free from the spell
Because my insides started to swell
I gave those old ways a farewell
Became who I am supposed to be, and you can as well
Don't let it consume to become a living hell
Understand societal purpose is not the way
No amount of material objects can make your day
All they are is stacking up for display
You know i'm just a simple man
Don't say much, but that's the plan
Keep everyone wondering while I can
