Slowly
Alyson Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who can make me ecstatic
Someone who can make my world
Less shallow and dramatic
I've been living in shadows
Always on my own all alone
Feeling of two lips touching
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
Endless nights of me dreaming
Yet I'm fully wide awake
Reclusive yet solitary
How much pain can I take
Keep your demons to yourself
Never trust nobody else
Feelings of despair dwell you
You have nothing, no defense
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
Running in circles
We're all the same universal
We get so fragile
Oblivious words cause a battle
Running in circles
We're all the same universal
We get so fragile
Oblivious words cause a battle
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
Running in circles
We're all the same universal
We get so fragile
Oblivious words cause a battle
Running in circles
We're all the same universal
We get so fragile
Oblivious words cause a battle
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
Days of feeling lonely
Sounds of silence only
Thoughts been thinking boldly
Heart's been beating slowly
The lyrics of Alyson Swift's song, "Slowly," express the singerโs search for a partner who can make her happy and elevate her from her current feelings of loneliness and frustration. She describes feeling isolated and alone, dreaming of finding someone who can make her feel alive and bring her out of the shadows. The expression "feeling of two lips touching" conveys a longing for physical intimacy, which the songwriter seeks alongside emotional connection.
The reference to "days of feeling lonely, sounds of silence only" implies that the singerโs isolation and detachment are self-imposed, either by living reclusively or by surrounding herself with people who cannot fulfill her emotional needs. The phrase "thoughts been thinking boldly" suggests that the singer is aware of her situation and is willing to explore new ways of finding happiness. Nonetheless, the "heart's been beating slowly" indicates that the singer's hope or enthusiasm may be fading, expressing a sense of resignation.
The lyrics "running in circles, we're all the same universal, we get so fragile, oblivious words cause a battle" shift focus from the singer's internal struggles to the universal feeling of being stuck in a loop, with people saying and doing the same things that may cause hurt and misunderstandings. It highlights how people can become fragile and prone to conflict when feeling trapped, in addition to the implications of our actions on others. The song's overall message is that we all have a shared search for happiness and connection, but it's easy to become stuck in patterns and superficial relationships that don't provide what we need.
