Slow Down Love
Louis The Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you hear the voices in my head
Calling for something to know?
Slow down, love, it's too bright out there
Out there
Hold on, love, you're walking thin air
Thin air
Damn it, now if you know you're in or out
Oh, I put too much behind it
Damn it, now if there's something I left out
Oh, I'm in my head, come and find me
(Damn it, now if you know you're in or out)
(Oh, I put too much behind it)
(Damn it, now if there's something I left out)
(Oh, I'm in my head, come and find me)
All this time I waited on a future that you never did see
And despite all the love I gave
You wanted something I can't be
Slow down, love, it's too bright out there
Out there
Hold on, love, you're walking thin air
Thin air
Damn it, now if you know you're in or out
Oh, I put too much behind it
Damn it, now if there's something I left out
Oh, I'm in my head, come and find me
(Damn it, now if you know you're in or out)
(Oh, I put too much behind it)
(Damn it, now if there's something I left out)
(Oh, I'm in my head, come and find me)
The song Slow Down Love by Louis The Child is about a relationship that is causing pain to the singer. The lyrics "Painting a picture of the feelings that you never did" suggest that the singer has been open about their emotions, but their partner never reciprocated. The phrase "Do you hear the voices in my head calling for something to know?" shows how the singer is struggling with their thoughts and looking for answers.
The chorus "Slow down, love, it's too bright out there, hold on, love, you're walking thin air" tells the listener that the relationship is not healthy and is causing the singer to lose their footing. The use of the word "love" is interesting, as it shows that despite the pain, the singer still has feelings for their partner. The bridge "All this time I waited on a future that you never did see, and despite all the love I gave, you wanted something I can't be" highlights the fact that the singer has been waiting for their partner to change, but it hasn't happened. The lyrics "you wanted something I can't be" show that the relationship has become toxic and the singer cannot fulfill their partner's needs.
In conclusion, Slow Down Love is a song about a relationship that is not working out. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been open about their feelings, but their partner is not reciprocating. Despite this, the singer still has feelings for their partner, but acknowledges that the relationship is not healthy. The chorus "Slow down, love, it's too bright out there, hold on, love, you're walking thin air" tells the story of a relationship that is causing pain to the singer.

I'm questioning our relationship and whether you're fully committed or not, I've invested a lot of time and effort into this and I'm unsure if I missed anything. I'm feeling lost and need you to help me sort out my thoughts
All this time I waited on a future that you never did see
And despite all the love I gave
You wanted something I can't be
I had hopes for us and the future, but you didn't see them. Despite all of my love, you were looking for something that I'm not capable of being

Pintando sua imagem de sentimentos que você nunca fez, ooh
Você ouve as vozes na minha cabeça Chamando por algo para saber?
Calma, amor, está muito claro lá fora
Espere aí, amor, você está caminhando no ar no ar
Droga, agora se você sabe que está dentro ou fora
Oh, eu coloquei muito para trás
Droga, agora se houver algo que deixei de fora
Oh, estou na minha cabeça, venha e me encontre
Droga, agora se você sabe que está dentro ou fora
Oh, eu coloquei muito para trás
Droga, agora se há algo que eu deixei de fora
Oh, estou na minha cabeça, venha e me encontre
Todo esse tempo esperou por um futuro que você nunca fez
E apesar de todo o amor que eu dei
Você queria algo que eu não posso dar
Calma, amor, está muito claro lá fora Espere aí, amor, você está caminhando no ar Fino ar
Droga, agora se você sabe que está dentro ou fora
Oh, eu coloquei muito para trás
Droga, agora se há algo que eu deixei de fora
Oh, eu estou na minha cabeça, venha e me encontre
Droga, agora se você sabe que está dentro ou fora
Oh, eu coloquei muito atrás disso
Caramba, agora se há algo que eu deixei de fora
Oh, estou na minha cabeça, venha e me encontre.

@chelssamuel3071
"Tell me now if you're in or out*"
Not 'dammit, now if you know you're in or out'
@sidneydenboer86
"You wanted something I cant be" instead of "something I couldnt give"
@guppy2842
Chels Samuel it’s actually Dammit, you can check out the lyrics version, and it says dammit.
