Discover the story of the song > Swallow It – Brandon Flowers

The song is telling a story about a person (he) who is rushing through life and taking on too much. It's like he's trying to eat too much food and it's making him sick. The song is encouraging him to slow down and take his time to learn and grow. The song advises him to be patient, take his medicine and find joy in what he does. The chorus repeats that he's not ready for everything just yet, so he needs to slow down and evolve at his own pace.
