Settle Down
Unveiling the Dance of Deception in 'Settle Down'
Lyrics
You don't move from that graceful pose
Remaining in a poised and elegant posture
And I never want to close my eyes
Expressing a desire to keep eyes open, possibly to stay aware or vigilant
Every move that I make is phoney
Acknowledging a lack of authenticity in personal actions
And every word I say is lies
Admitting that every spoken word is untrue or deceptive
Settle down
Issuing a command or request to calm down or find stability
You never want to see me drown.
Suggesting a reluctance to witness personal struggles or challenges
You don't move from that graceful pose
Reiteration of the earlier description of a motionless and elegant stance
You see all my mistakes
Being observed for errors or flaws
You learn from my mistakes
Implying that lessons are derived from observed mistakes
Every move that I make is phoney
Repeating the theme of insincerity in personal actions
And every word I say
Continuation of the acknowledgment that spoken words lack truth
Just makes me want to take you down
Expressing a desire to bring the other person down, possibly due to personal insecurities
You never want to see me drown
Reiterating the reluctance of the other person to witness personal struggles
Settle down
Repeating the command or request to find stability or calm down
And if you move I'm following you
Stating an intention to follow the person if they move
Wherever you go.
Expressing a commitment to follow the person wherever they go
