Simple Life Lyrics
I want a color TV and a newspaper blocking the door
I want a credit card key and a new phone book on the floor
I want a getaway map of the hallway
I want a bird's eye view of the Hyundai
so I can sleep, sleep, sleep
Or maybe I'll just sit in the car
'Cause here there's no silence
There's no silence, silence
There's no silence, silence
Best thing is keep singing
(so, so simple life)
I want a colourful theme and a vending machine down the hall
I want a ready-made bed and a passport safe in the wall
I want to have it just the way I couldn't give it
I want a life that lives the way we couldn't live it
So I can sleep, sleep, sleep
Or maybe I'll just sit in the car
But here there's no silence
There's no silence, silence
There's no silence, silence
Best thing is keep singing
(so, so simple life)
I want a credit card key and a new phone book on the floor
I want a getaway map of the hallway
I want a bird's eye view of the Hyundai
so I can sleep, sleep, sleep
Or maybe I'll just sit in the car
There's no silence, silence
Best thing is keep singing
(so, so simple life)
I want a ready-made bed and a passport safe in the wall
I want to have it just the way I couldn't give it
I want a life that lives the way we couldn't live it
So I can sleep, sleep, sleep
Or maybe I'll just sit in the car
There's no silence, silence
Best thing is keep singing
(so, so simple life)

This one is complex and odd. This song is awesome to get lost in.
I believe this one is about distraction. This person keeps thinking of all the things he/she wants "because here there's no silence", meaning no break.
This song is about materialism and how it gets in the way of spiritual silence.
Kevin values the 'simple life' and his peace and 'silence' are more important to him than material possessions.
Haha, that's plausible. Good shit
It's about Kevin's shitty experiences at hotels. Most likely while he was with Dream Theater.
