Settle
Two Door Cinema Club Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Learn to fly,
Learn to fly,
Show the world
How you try.

But don't let go
Until you know,
Until you know
Me.

'Cause I can see,
I can see
All the things
Arresting me.
But I control,
I control.

When I get home,
When I get home,
I want to feel less alone.
I couldn't feel,
I couldn't feel
Anybody.

This isn't home,
This isn't home,
I couldn't feel more alone.
I need to feel,
I need to feel
Somebody.

'Cause I see the world
In different colors
To someone like you.

This day, we'll all pull you in
Romantic and drenched in sin.
But you only have an amount of time
Until this place
Will swallow you whole.

And everything I cannot imagine.
This dim-lit room has seen much before me.
And I don't want
To ever know,
To know.

The city will pull you in
Romantic and drenched in sin
But you only have an amount of time
Until this place
Will swallow you whole.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Two Door Cinema Club's song "Settle" have a universal message of hope and optimism in the face of adversity. The opening lines encourage the listener to learn to fly and show the world how they try, suggesting that personal growth and self-discovery are key to achieving success in life. The refrain of "but don't let go until you know me" highlights the importance of forging meaningful relationships and connections with others along the way.


In the second verse, the lyrics take a more introspective turn, with the singer expressing a desire to feel less alone but acknowledging that they "couldn't feel anybody." The chorus then returns with a powerful declaration of independence: "I see the world in different colors to someone like you / And I control when I get home, I want to feel less alone." Through these lyrics, the song encourages listeners to embrace their individuality, take control of their own lives, and find the courage to pursue their dreams despite the challenges they may face.
