Simple Boy Lyrics

Lyric discussion by TobyTheSlave 

Cover art for Simple Boy lyrics by Karnivool

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.
