As one of the oldest Alk3 fans (in age), this song is about settling. Basically, the older you get, the more you realize how people settle for something less than they imagined they ever would. How many people stay in relationships or jobs or cities - because it's 'comfortable'. And that is all they have known? I see it everyday everywhere. People giving up on dreams and faking it (affectations) because it's easier to settle than to get what you really want. Think about it.
Fyi -- here are the lyrics from the CD liner:
SETTLE FOR SATIN
It's not so much a storm
But just a cloud that lives inside of me
He doesn't stir so easily these days
But when he wakes he goes the distance
In a marathon of days too long
Open containers that sing songs
You'll never dream again but you can pray
I guess we all settle in to what we know
I guess we always settle in, we know
That there is comfort in our world
Where darkness is the only thing we see
And cold is all we have to breathe
Where affectations keep us company
Where the lies we tell to eyes that roll in doubt
Are somehow out of our control
It's not about the scars
But more the crowds that walk all over me
They don't give up too easily these days
But when they break they go to pieces
Fall apart right here in North Side bars
Under a sky that knows no stars
You'll never shine again but you will stay
I guess we all settle in to what we know
I guess we always settle in, we know
That there is comfort in our world
Where darkness is the only thing we see
And cold is all we have to breathe
Where affectations keep us company
Where the lies we tell to eyes that roll in doubt
Are somehow out of our control
That there is comfort in our world
Where darkness is the only thing we see
And cold is all we have to breathe
Where affectations keep us company
Where the lies we tell to eyes that roll in doubt
Are somehow out of our control
We lost control
