Simple Life
Embracing Simplicity: Growl Bear's Ode to a Tranquil Life
Lyrics
Oh, I long for the simple kind of life
Expressing a desire for a simpler life.
A cabin in the woods with the kids and the wife
Envisioning a peaceful life in a cabin with family.
Wood to get through winter and elderberry pie
Desiring basic necessities like wood for winter and homemade pie.
I long for a simple kind of life
Reiterating the longing for a simple life.
I've had enough of technology
Expressing frustration with technology.
All these gadgets always blinking and beeping at me
Complaining about constant electronic distractions.
Got me hook line and sinker
Feeling captivated and influenced by modern devices.
Can't stop staring at this screen
Unable to look away from screens.
Oh, I long for the simple kind of life
Repeating the desire for a simple life.
I don't care what other people do
Indifference towards societal expectations.
Don't need everything to be shiny and new
Content with simplicity, not needing everything new.
The Joneses can run ahead
Reference to the Joneses, indicating comparison and competition.
If that's what gets them through
Acceptance of others' choices if it works for them.
But I long for a simpler kind of life
Reiterating the desire for a simpler life.
I don't need to be a popular guy
Not seeking popularity, valuing a few close friends.
Just a couple close friends is all you need to get by
Emphasizing the importance of a small circle for support.
Most so-called friends fall away in good time
Acknowledging that some friendships naturally fade.
Oh, I long for a simple kind of life
Repeating the longing for a simple life.
Hand me an instrument with strings
Desiring musical expression and solitude.
Lock me in in a room till next spring
Seeking isolation to focus on creative pursuits.
When the strings break then I guess I'll just sing
Accepting challenges, like broken strings, and finding alternative joy.
Oh, I long for a simpler kind of life
Reiterating the desire for a simpler life.
I don't care what other people do
Reiterating indifference to societal expectations.
Don't need everything to be shiny and new
Reiterating contentment with simplicity.
The Joneses can run ahead
Repeating the Joneses reference, highlighting individual choices.
If that's what gets them through
Acceptance of diverse paths to happiness.
But I long for a simpler kind of life
Reiterating the desire for a simpler life.
I don't care what other people do
Reiterating indifference to societal expectations.
Don't need everything to be shiny and new
Reiterating contentment with simplicity.
The Joneses can run ahead
Repeating the Joneses reference, emphasizing personal fulfillment.
If that's what gets them through
Acknowledging different paths to happiness for others.
But I long for a simpler kind of life
Final expression of the desire for a simpler life.
