About This Track

'Simple' by SEVENTEEN (세븐틴) is a 2016 song that looks bleakly at a day-to-day world where even small things feel impossible. Standing on “the last road” of the day, the lyrics frame life as a maze with no exit, and challenge the idea that happiness is anything more than talk, a dream others want. The chorus pulls the speaker towards refusal, insisting they do not want the claim to be believed, before settling on one desire, wanting it simple.

"Simple" is a track by SEVENTEEN (세븐틴), released 4th July 2016. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 15 articles about SEVENTEEN (세븐틴).

Lyrics

Simple

[세븐틴 "Simple" 가사]

[Verse]

오늘의 마지막 이 길에 서 있다

매일은 이렇게, ooh-ooh

드넓은 세상엔

난 먼지만도 못한 걸 잘 알고 있지만

[Pre-Chorus]

쉬운 일 하나 없는

출구 없는 미로인듯한 세상

[Chorus]

행복은 그냥 말만 있는 거고

모두가 원하는 dream일뿐이라고

말도 안 되는 얘긴걸 (Yeah)

믿고 싶지도 않아서 (Yeah)

Yeah, I just want it simple, simple (Ooh)

나를 숨쉬게 하는 모든 것이

그저 간단했으면 해

내게서 멀리 더 멀리

더 보이지 않을 때까지

I call you, baby (Yeah)

Baby’s called my happiness (Yeah)

Yeah I just want it simple, simple

I want it simple

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]

쉬운 일 하나 없는

출구 없는 미로인 듯한 이 세상

[Chorus]

행복은 그냥 말만 있는 거고

모두가 원하는 dream일뿐이라고

말도 안 되는 얘긴걸 (Yeah)

믿고 싶지도 않아서 (Yeah)

Yeah I just want it simple, simple (Ooh)

나를 숨쉬게 하는 모든 것이

그저 간단했으면 해

내게서 멀리 더 멀리

더 보이지 않을 때까지

I call you, baby (Yeah)

Baby’s called my happiness (Yeah)

Yeah I just want it simple, simple

I want it simple

[Bridge]

Hmm, I want it simple, yeah

내가 틀린 거라고 (Yeah) 모두가 말해도

이 밤이 지나면 함께 웃을 수 있길

[Chorus]

나를 숨쉬게 하는 모든 것이

그저 간단했으면 해

내게서 멀리 더 멀리

더 보이지 않을 때까지

I call you, baby (Yeah)

Baby’s called my happiness (Yeah)

Yeah I just want it simple, simple

I want it simple

Ooh-ooh, I want it simple, oh, yeah

I want it simple
