Oh well Im the type of guy who will never settle down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sick City Daggers's song "Wanderer" present a man who is always on the move and never wants to settle down. He has a carefree lifestyle where he goes through cities and meets different girls. He kisses and hugs them without thinking it through. They are all the same to him, and he does not care about learning their names. The singer of the song is known as "the wanderer," a title he embraces without any remorse; he is proud of his vagrant lifestyle. The chorus is an echo of his behavior, where he repeats the phrase, "I roam around around around," emphasizing his wandering behavior.


The second verse continues to discuss how he meets different girls wherever he goes. The singer mentions specific girls he has met before and how it does not matter because he has a girl's name tattooed on his chest. This verse shows the extent of his womanizing behavior and how he does not care about the girls he meets or hurts. He enjoys his nomadic lifestyle and does not want that to change. The third verse is a continuation of his wayward behavior where he is just happy to be alive, wandering with no care in the world.
