Slow Dance
Arcane Roots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll see you in the early morning light
Even as our hearts, they ebb and flow
Never did I dance with you so slow
Slow
So even as the darkness comes to light
I'll stand out in the dawn right by your side
Even though I can't pretend to know
Never have I danced with you so slow
And even though you can't help letting go
Like swallowing the tears before they show
And although I'll never ever know
Baby I will dance with you so slow
Oh yeah
All the things we had, we gave away
Dancing to our pulses as they fade
Slower, hand in hand
But can't you feel the same things I can?
Lined upside down
This has now happened as you fell
Raise your voice til I can't hear no sound
Til it's close enough to touch
All the things we had, we gave away
Dancing to our pulses as they fade
Slower, hand in hand
But can't you feel the same things I can?
All the things we had, we gave away
Dancing to our pulses as they fade
Closer to the end
But can't you feel the same things I can?
Can't you feel the same things I can?
Arcane Roots’s song “Slow Dance” is a tale of undying love, through the ups and the downs, the light and the dark. The first verse describes seeing the loved one in the early morning light, a symbol of hope and new beginnings. Even as their hearts ebb and flow, the singer declares a willingness to dance slowly with the loved one. The phrase “Slow” is repeated multiple times during the song and could refer to the willingness to slow down and appreciate the moment with the loved one.
This love, however, is not without challenges. The second verse talks about the loved one letting go and hiding their pain, swallowing their tears before they show. The singer may not understand the depth of the loved one’s pain, but they are still willing to dance slowly with them. The chorus repeats the idea of giving away all they had, dancing to the fading pulses of their hearts, but still holding hands and feeling the same connection. The last lines of the song, “Can’t you feel the same things I can?”, emphasize the hope that the love they share is a two-way street, that despite the challenges and pain, the loved one shares the same depth of emotion and commitment.
Overall, the song Slow Dance portrays the beauty and power of a committed love that stands the test of time, despite its challenges.

Even as your darkness comes to life
I will be there for you, even when you're at your lowest point
I'll see you in the early morning light
I'll be your light in the darkness and will always stand by your side
Even as our hearts, they ebb and flow
Our emotions might fluctuate, but my love for you remains constant
Never did I dance with you so slow
I've never shared such an intimate moment with you before
And even though you can't help letting go
I know that you're hurting and trying to hide it from me
Like swallowing the tears before they show
You're trying to keep it together and not show your emotions
And although I'll never ever know
I might not be able to fully understand the pain you're going through
Baby, I will dance with you so slow
I'll be here for you, no matter what, and we'll share this moment together
All the things we had, we gave away
We've lost so much, but we have each other
Dancing to our pulses as they fade
We might not have much time together, but we'll make every moment count
Slower, hand in hand
We'll slow down and enjoy this moment together, supporting each other every step of the way
But can't you feel the same things I can?
I hope you know that I love you and want to be here for you, always
Lined upside down
Everything might seem chaotic and messy right now
This has now happened as you fell
Something has occurred that has caused you to fall apart
Raise your voice til I can't hear no sound
Let it all out and know that I'm here to listen
Til it's close enough to touch
I want to be close to you and help you through this
Closer to the end
We might be nearing the end of this journey, but I'll always be here for you
Can't you feel the same things I can?
I hope you know that my love for you is unwavering, and I want to be here for you no matter what

My guess at the lyrics:
Even as your darkness comes to life
I'll see you in the early morning light
Even as our hearts, they ebb and flow
Never did I dance with you so slow
Slow
So even as the darkness comes to light
I'll stand out in the dawn right by your side
Even though I can't pretend to know
Never have I danced with you so slow
And even though you can't help letting go
Like swallowing the tears before they show
And although I'll never ever know
Baby I will dance with you so slow
Oh yeah
All the things we had, we gave away
Dancing to our pulses as they fade
Slower, hand in hand
But can't you feel the same things I can?

How this song doesn't have millions of views I'll never know. This song is absolutely beautiful, favourite song by far right now.
Joe Finnigan
This was the first song of theirs I heard when they were the support for a gig I went to. Hearing 1:50 live was the moment I instantly fell in love with this band

Hmm, I'm thinking "this has now happened as you fell" should be "this is no happiness you found."
