I Will Never Settle Lyrics :::
This is not the song
I wanted to write for you
This is not the way
I wanted to make you feel
The truth is so unkind
I can't stop the way
That it sounds in your mind
It's loud and it's distorted
The longer you avoid it

Too much to settle
So I hide in my golden cage
Silence is starving
Humble pie on a paper plate
Going in circles
And my pride is the piece I hold
I will never settle
Cause to settle would crush our souls

Too much to settle
Silence is starving
Too much to settle
I will never settle

Going in circles
Silence is starving
I will never settle
I will never settle

Caught a glimpse of a normal life
Terrified by the sight
We belong to another time
Dropping vanishing names we knew
But if they don't care about it
Do you still care about it

Too much to settle
Silence is starving
Too much to settle
I will never settle

Going in circles
Silence is starving
I will never settle
I will never settle

So I hide in my golden cage
Humble pie on a paper plate
And my pride is the piece I hold
Cause to settle would crush our souls
To settle would crush our souls

We will never settle, it would crush our souls
We will never settle, it would crush our souls

Metric's best ever song. Staggering arrangement, change of pace, message, great indy finish, reinventing themselves again and again. Should be seriously famous if marketed better. Timeless. What a voice.

[guyjulius]

I’m 40, I’m stoned dancing in a nicely groomed flowerbed, so thank you Metric!!!

[yt_Ajay_]

I got introduced to this band through Scott Pilgrim over ten years ago and I've loved every single thing they've made. Insane.

[CofRed]

How they haven't been playing this song on their tour is beyond me. Such a banger and probably my favourite on the entire album

[Jared-C]

I love how much your sound evolves over the years, but it's always Metric.

[Wilternative]

This is gorgeous. The absolute standout of the album.

[aakashmagar]

Song to listen when your alone in full volume 😌

[camillazajac]

Love the moment those guitars kick in.

[SpaceCafeNewsMusicComedy]

Gla'ad this band, Is a band, the world would be darker without Metric...

[rg]

That sweet transition at 02:05 is why I am here

[InterstellarDreams]

This song has been motivating and inspiring me ALL day today! I just love how it fully acknowledges the darkness we're currently in as a species, yet also dares to be hopeful! But from a place of experience, and passion, rather than naivety! And I also love how we live different lives, and deal with different issues, but it still feels like this song speaks to a collective moment that we're all going through, in different ways!

PS: for anyone who can, per chance, relate..? I love you. <3

[paulinorevueltahernandez]

I just arrived at home after seeing them in a concert. I have been crying while I was driving. I am not exaggerating when I say this song makes me feel nostalgia and hope, makes feel that my life has a purpose and someday, I fill find it…

[Miss_Claire]

45 seconds in and I have shivers down my spine. Thank you Emily. Your music brings me life.

[nolansyers]

This song is incredible. It made me feel just like a kid discovering you for the first time. I love that this wasn't written until now, yet seems so familiar. Great stuff <3

[rodrigosilvapadilla]

Esta canción es como una montaña rusa. Cada vez que la escucho, al final, me dan ganas de correr hacia la nada y me saca unas cuantas lagrimas. Gracias por hacer esta música. Gracias Metric. ❤️Emily.

[PBBoogie]

Holy shit. Each song is better than the previous.

[charukpete]

I saw them in Calgary August 15th, truly an unforgettable show, this has ended up being one of my favorite Metric songs. I had not heard it until that night.The Image of Emily working 2 Microphones and Keyboards at the same time is one I can't shake WOW

[catlaxo]

One of the best Metric songs, the lyrics especially hit so hard. I wish they played this one in concert…would love to hear that guitar solo live ❤

[Chibiknux]

Goddamn the lyrics 💝 i won't ever settle either. I love u guys

[andrewcooke]

Enormous grower. Kind of skipped it first couple of listens but now love it. The bridge is gorgeous.
