Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sunlight through the blinds
'Cause the night before
We connected soul and mind, yeah
I feel the tension grow
Ready for another start
And we'll take it slow
Like the rythme of our hearts
Oh, you got that slow pulse baby
We'll let the sheets slide on the ground
I feel your slow pulse baby
Today we stay in bed
We're taking our time
You lowering your breath, girl
Your beat is matching mine
I feel your heartbeat slowing down
Oh, you got that slow pulse baby
We'll let the sheets slide on the ground
I feel your slow pulse baby
Oh my god
I feel your heart
And we got that slow pulse baby
Got that slow pulse baby
Oh my god
I feel your heart
And we got that slow pulse baby
Got that slow pulse baby
I feel your heartbeat slowing down
Oh, you got that slow pulse baby
We'll let the sheets slide on the ground
Oh, I feel your slow pulse baby

We wake up in the morn'
Every morning, we come alive
The sunlight through the blinds
Sunlight filters in through the window shades
'Cause the night before
Because of the connection we shared the night before
We connected soul and mind, yeah
Our souls and minds intertwined
I feel the tension grow
Sensation of anticipation building up
Ready for another start
Prepared for a fresh beginning
And we'll take it slow
Proceeding at a leisurely pace
Like the rhythm of our hearts
Similar to the steady beat of our hearts
I feel your heartbeat slowing down
Sensing your heartbeat gradually decelerating
Oh, you got that slow pulse baby
Oh, your heartbeat is languid and relaxed
We'll let the sheets slide on the ground
Allowing the bed sheets to slip down onto the floor
I feel your slow pulse baby
I sense your unhurried heartbeat
Today we stay in bed
Today, we choose to remain in bed
We're taking our time
We are not rushing, enjoying a leisurely pace
You lowering your breath, girl
You are deliberately slowing down your breathing, my dear
Your beat is matching mine
Your heartbeat syncs perfectly with mine
Oh my god
Expressing astonishment or awe
I feel your heart
I feel the rhythm of your heart
And we got that slow pulse baby
Together, our heartbeats are leisurely and relaxed
Got that slow pulse baby
We possess a gentle, steady heartbeat
I feel your heartbeat slowing down
I perceive your heartbeat gradually decelerating
Oh, you got that slow pulse baby
Oh, your heartbeat is languid and relaxed
We'll let the sheets slide on the ground
Allowing the bed sheets to slip down onto the floor
Oh, I feel your slow pulse baby
Oh, I sense your unhurried heartbeat

Ive been listening to it since I was 15, I am now 22. Crazy isnt it, looking back at Tesselate, Breezeblocks and Left Hand Free I had been listening since I was 13-14. Bizare isnt it. Wonder where we are in the next 8 years.

Alt-j should make more of these mash-ups cause they're awesome to listen to, I rewatched 'still dre', a chill tune performed by laidback gansta rappers who would rather light a joint then punch someone in the face (except lyric-wise), only to conclude that this collision is the best possible outcome for both songs; Kylie, Dre and Snoop should thank the genius indie musicians. I propose that we fans do the same :3
