SIMPLE (feat. I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME)

DE'WAYNE's song 'SIMPLE,' featuring I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME, delves into the paradox of seeking simplicity in a chaotic world. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who desires a straightforward life, free from handouts and unnecessary complications. The repetition of 'I'm just a simple kind of man' underscores this yearning for simplicity, yet the verses reveal a life far from simple. The protagonist's daily routine involves waking up with a head 'in the can,' suggesting a hangover or a state of confusion, and spinning until he passes out, indicating a cycle of self-destructive behavior.

The song also touches on themes of isolation and escapism. The lines 'You say you want no one to stay / You wanna be alone in a real big home' highlight a desire for solitude, even in the midst of material success. This is further emphasized by the refusal to return calls and the inclination to do drugs alone. The protagonist finds excitement in this isolation, even as it leads to emotional turmoil, as evidenced by the line 'I'll put a movie on and enjoy it while I'm crying.' This juxtaposition of enjoyment and sorrow encapsulates the complexity of his emotional state.

'SIMPLE' also critiques the fleeting nature of fame and success. The verse 'Hey baby it's a showbiz how / You got your name on the playbill / And every single person watching now / But tomorrow it's a landfill' serves as a stark reminder of the temporary nature of public attention and acclaim. Despite the protagonist's desire for a simple life, he is entangled in the superficiality and transience of showbiz. This adds another layer of complexity to his character, making 'SIMPLE' a rich exploration of the human condition, caught between the desire for simplicity and the reality of a complicated existence.
