Simple Boy Lyrics
I'm high above the world
Why should I feel pain
Or feel alone
To be protected like a simple boy
If I choose to let you down
Begin to know
You're free to go
You're free to go
I will fight 'till there's nothing left
Catch the war to get off from this sinking ship
Or drown alone, here
On the coast
Facing nothingness
Drawn to feel the emptiness
Oh help me now
Describe the scene
You're free to go
(We'll face these things some other day)
You're free to go
(I won't leave you you're not ok)
You're free to go
(We'll face these things some other day)
You're free to go
(I won't leave you you're not ok)
Simple boy, stay here
Simple boy, don't wander
Simple boy, you're safe here
Simple boy, simple boy
So when did we lose the plot
Were running against the clock
Don't hesitate
Or you will never know
Simple boy, you're free to go
Don't wander, you're free to go
Simple boy, you're free to go
You're safe here, you're free to go
You're free to go
You're free to go
My simple boy, my simple boy
My simple boy, my simple boy
Why should I feel pain
Or feel alone
To be protected like a simple boy
If I choose to let you down
Begin to know
You're free to go
Catch the war to get off from this sinking ship
Or drown alone, here
On the coast
Facing nothingness
Drawn to feel the emptiness
Oh help me now
Describe the scene
(We'll face these things some other day)
You're free to go
(I won't leave you you're not ok)
You're free to go
(We'll face these things some other day)
You're free to go
(I won't leave you you're not ok)
Simple boy, don't wander
Simple boy, you're safe here
Simple boy, simple boy
Were running against the clock
Don't hesitate
Or you will never know
Don't wander, you're free to go
Simple boy, you're free to go
You're safe here, you're free to go
You're free to go
You're free to go
My simple boy, my simple boy
My simple boy, my simple boy

Simple Boy, after realizing that he is on the path to nothingness and ruin, on a "sinking ship", is given the choice to fight or drown on his path.
Accidentally, it seems, Simple Boy learns that his path, his servitude, his prison, is all a choice he didn't realize he made. Any time he wants to leave, he's "Free to go".
His captors, however, encourage him to stay here, to not wander, because he's "safe".
The rest of the album, after this song, is Simple Boy's journey out of his self-made prison.

Are they absolutely right? Some lines sound different to my ears? For example I hear "On the course facing nothingness"
Not sure at all mate, but there were no official lyrics so I just did the best I could

It's definitely "on" not "off". Don't know bout the "course" though. And it's "feel at all". Still not sure if it's "your freedom gone" or "you're free to go".
