Slow It Down
At Last Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Electricity is hanging over me
Rain bring memories that I had set to sleep.

You should slow down, you're moving way too fast
Please slow down
Why won't you slow down?

I knew that stillness would bring
To whom I would sing almost anything.
Sit down next to me
With rats and dust I share almost everything

You should slow down, you're moving way too fast




Please slow down
Why won't you slow down?

Lyrics if you want
Tell me what it is you wanna know
Finish up the bottle then we'll go, babe
Waste a little money on some blow
She said, "Won't you have a little?"
I said, "No way"

[Pre-Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
I'm too phased, it's too late
But coming down is all I ever do, babe, yeah
And I'm so down if you're ready
I'm floating but I'm heavy
And I'll show you if you let me, girl

[Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
I don't know if you already know how
But girl, I got the feeling that you know now
You're buried in the pillow, yeah, you're so loud
But I'm about to show you, baby, slow down
Slow down, slow down
I'm about to show you, baby, slow down
Slow down, slow down
I'm about to show you, baby, slow down

[Verse 2: Mitchel Cave]
Push a little further on the edge
Crawl a little further on the bed, babe
I'm burning up, yeah, all I see is red, ah
She said, β€žFuck me like I'm famous"
I said, β€žOkay"Pre-Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
It's two-faced, it's too late
But coming down is all I ever do, babe
And I'm so down if you're ready
I'm floating but I'm heavy
And I'll show you if you let me, girl

[Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
I don't know if you already know how
But girl, I got the feeling that you know now
You're buried in the pillow, yeah, you're so loud
But I'm about to show you, baby, slow down
Slow down, slow down
I'm about to show you, baby, slow down (yeah)
Slow down, slow down
I'm about to show you, baby, slow down

[Bridge: Mitchel Cave]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Slow down, slow down (yeah)
Won't you listen to me? (yeah)
Drugs all in my system (slow down)
Tell me what you heard (yeah)
Tell me what you know (yeah)
I've been rolling for days, yeah, this is so foreign
Oh vanity, no, listen, babyChorus: Mitchel Cave]
I don't know if you already know how
But girl, I gotta feeling that you know now
You're buried in the pillow, yeah, you're so loud
But I'm about to show you, baby, slow down
Slow down, slow down
I'm about to show you, baby, slow down
Slow down, slow down
I'm about to show you, baby, slow down
(Yeah)
