The Sound Of Settling Lyrics
Artist(Band):Death Cab For Cutie
Review The Song (9)Print the Lyrics
I've got a hunger
Twisting my stomach into knots.
That my tongue has tied off.

My brain's repeating
"If you've got an impulse let it out"
But they never make it past my mouth.

Bop ba,Bop ba, this is the sound of settling
Bop ba, Bop ba
(x2)

Our youth is fleeting,
Old age is just around the bend.
And I can't wait to go gray.

And I'll sit and wonder
Of every love that could've been.
If I'd only thought of something charming to say.

Bop ba,Bop ba, this is the sound of settling
Bop ba, Bop ba.
(x4)

I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots.

Review about The Sound Of Settling

Added interpretation for Bop ba | Reviewer: Frederick | 9/26/09

I agree with the settling for being quiet part. That's what the settling part means like the people below me have said. But the Bop pa part was really ambiguous to me till I started going through it again... Yeah, there's a girl I like. Sometimes I just settle... but I know that I should have said something charming... that doubt makes my heart go bop ba. Lol... probably the wrong interpretation, but yes, it makes my heart beat.

Oh crap... I'm going to her house tomorrow... "Bop ba... Bop ba..."



octoms razor | Reviewer: lord | 9/11/09

the song is about not being able to approach someone because your body stiffens up at the sight of them . its about social anxiety and trying to overcome your fears: "My brain's repeating
"If you've got an impulse let it out"..."but they never make it past my mouth." "i can't wait to go gray" refers to the desire for the experience and the similar future experiences to pass and for reflection to begin: "thinking of every love that could have been."



settling | Reviewer: johnny | 1/2/09

ok, here's my take, settling means a lot of things, first and foremost he's talking about how we settle/compromise/give in to what is the simplest (but not the best) solution. For example it's easiest to be silent when 'something charming' would get you what you really want or how 'going gray' is simpler than holding on to ones youth. Overall it's about settling and giving in to the easier and less fufulling of two choices but ultimately missing out on life because of it. It's a great song!!



noticed? | Reviewer: yuni | 8/6/08

Instead of blabbering and arguing... Did someone noticed and understood the "Bob a" sung by Ben during the Chorus???

For me it is the imitation of woodwind brasswind instrument, typically when it was used during the Middle Ages to Announce the venue of The King or somethign like that (go watch the historic movies to understand what I mean)... In Few words, what Ben Imitates is the sound of Settling... Got it? ;)



sound of settling | Reviewer: Jennipher | 6/23/08

well what's her face is wrong. it's not about settling down (what kind of idiot even thinks that?) it's about saying things that we need to to people because later on you're gonna wish you had instead of settling for the one you thought would take you. (sorry whoever you are, but death cab is a genius and ur not, as has been said)



Always great messages | Reviewer: Greg G | 1/28/08

he's trying to tell us to open our mouths, say something to the ones we want... maybe wishing he would have not held it in, like having a crush and not making a move... One of my favorite song writers. Such an amazing song



response to adfadsf | Reviewer: alyssa | 11/11/07

No kidding it's about settling down, it doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. She was giving her opinion on the song which she has the right to do. This song is a masterpiece and death cab is genius. Too bad you aren't.
