Settle Down
Adam Brand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Could this be the time to settle down
I don't know and I can't tell
I don't need all the answers
I may just need to settle down

Could it sneak right up behind you?
And tap you on the shoulder
It could stand right there beside you
And you might never know
This could be my great adventure
Might be my greatest fall
Might be nothing short of amazing
Could be nothing much at all
It could be nothing much at all

Does someone come and tell you?
Does someone make a call?
Will they write it in a letter?
Will they write it on a wall?

This could be my great adventure
Might be my greatest fall
Might be nothing short of amazing
Could be nothing much at all
Hmm could be nothing much at all
Yeah could be nothing much at all





If you'll have me to settle down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Adam Brand's song Settle Down are about contemplating the decision to settle down in life with a partner, but not having all the answers or the certainty to know if it is the right time. The first verse acknowledges the possibility of settling down but also the uncertainty that comes along with it. The second verse compares settling down to something that could sneak up on someone without them even realizing it, and the singer ponders if settling down could either be the best decision or the worst decision of their life. The chorus reiterates the statement, stressing that the decision to settle down could be great or not significant at all.


The bridge of the song introduces the idea of external factors that could influence the decision to settle down, such as someone telling the singer or when it is written on a wall. However, the lyrics still convey the singer's reliance upon their own intuition and judgment to make the final decision. The song ends with the singer expressing their willingness to settle down with someone, leaving the decision open-ended for the listener.


In summary, Settle Down by Adam Brand portrays an introspective approach towards the decision to settle down, conveying the uncertainty and complexity of the issue. The lyrics inspire the listener to think about the pros and cons of settling down and to make their decision based on intuition and personal judgment.
