Settle
Contemplating Freedom: Urban Yearning in 'Settle'
Lyrics
Every night before I, go to sleep
Contemplating settling before sleep.
I listen long to the, bustling streets
Reflecting on the noise of city life.
And I wonder, how long, I'm gonna settle
Expressing uncertainty about the duration of settling.
Oh I'm gonna settle
Reiteration of the intention to settle.
They raised me up, on brick and bread
Describing upbringing with basic necessities.
Concrete jungle living, in your head
Depicting a challenging urban environment.
And I wonder, how long
Continuing uncertainty about settling.
I'm gonna settle
Repeating the pondering on the duration of settling.
I'm gonna settle
Reaffirmation of the intention to settle.
My mama, was told by them
Parents influenced by societal expectations.
And my daddy, he was told by them
Both parents guided by external influences.
Oh man, won't you be the one
Seeking understanding from someone.
To help me understand?
Appealing for assistance in comprehension.
No answer, just waiting
Experiencing silence and uncertainty.
Anticipating why
Waiting with anticipation for answers.
Ooh
Introducing a metaphorical escape route.
A little patchway up, in the sky
Describing a pathway in the sky.
It says "you can leave here, any time you like"
Indicating the possibility of leaving at will.
And I wonder, how long, I'm gonna settle
Reiterating uncertainty about settling.
How long I'm gonna settle
Repeating the question of settling duration.
How long
Further emphasis on the uncertainty of settling.
I'm gonna settle
Final repetition of the theme of settling.
