about

"Mr.Simplicity" is a song about trying to lead a simple life, but failing at it, because of an addiction to gadgets, temptations and buying stuff that you don't need. The song has a feel- good vibe with honest lyrics about a lifestyle filled with doublestandards, but it tries to convey hope and motivation.

lyrics

They call me, they call me, they call me, a lot of different things
They call me, they call me, they call me
But most of all

They call me mr. simplicity
Struck by an epiphany
One day when I was sick in bed
I thought, man, fuck this shit
I'm spending all my money on really stupid things
In search of the good life
When I needed to look twice
What am I doing?
I can do without these Ewings
And this Funko Pop of Stewie, man it's gonna be my ruin
Addicted to collecting all this
When not even one thing of this is on my bucketlist
I'll spend where it matters
Stopping this whole madness
I think I'm good enough, as is
Deleting my IG, cause every time I see these Barbies, I get untimely
And honestly, just let it resonate
I thought about it yesterday, I was trying to meditate
I'm done with all this superficial shit, looking for a better fate
Instead of never, then better late

Steve Jobs, I put on the same shirt, every day of the week
No lie, material things are not on the list of my needs
'Cause I don't need fashion to live
And I dont need choices to make, no
I do not want to impress
I just want life to make sense

I feel like a millennial
Every penny goes into empty holes
I'm spending all my money on really stupid things
To feel like I'm special, but that's the devil
So really stressful at too a high a tempo
Work my ass off for something not- essential
I'm not holy, but I'm trying to confess to
Dressing up my temple, to appear successful
I see the light, I'm done with all this shopping
Uncluttered life, sell my earthly belongings
Move into the woods, uncover my potential
With nothing else but cup noodles and a kettle
Sleep in a shelter, calling out for help cause
I forgot to bring fresh water and a cellphone
All alone, all alone
Seemed like a good idea at the time
We live, we learn
I built a campfire, it didn't burn

Steve Jobs, I put on the same shirt, every day of the week
No lie, material things are not on the list of my needs
'Cause I don't need fashion to live
And I dont need choices to make, no
I do not want to impress
I just want life to make sense
'Cause I don't need fashion to live
And I dont need choices to make, no
I do not want to impress
I just want life to make sense
