Slow
Baseball Gregg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

As long as I have known
The world has moved too slow
For humans to keep up
We're stuck in a time zone

I just don't know anymore

Eleven years have passed
The world's moving too fast
And I want to stay still
We're stuck on a treadmill

I just don't know anymore

The lyrics have been changed
The melody's the same
Tune's stuck in my head
It will be till I'm dead

I just don't know anymore

As long as I have known
The world has moved too slow




For humans to keep up
We're stuck in a time zone

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the lyrics describe a feeling of frustration and confusion with the pace of the world. The singer expresses a sense of time passing slowly, making it difficult for humans to keep up with the pace of life around them. The mention of being stuck in a time zone could symbolize feeling trapped or unable to progress, reinforcing the idea of being overwhelmed by the slow-moving world. The repetition of the line "I just don't know anymore" conveys a sense of uncertainty and a lack of clarity in understanding their place in this slow-moving world.


In the second verse, there is a shift in perspective as the lyrics now talk about the world moving too fast after eleven years have passed. The singer longs to stay still and not get caught up in the rapid pace of life, likening it to being stuck on a treadmill where one is constantly moving but not making any progress. This contrast between the slow pace of the world in the first verse and the fast pace in the second verse highlights the singer's struggle to find balance and adapt to the changing speeds of life.


The third verse introduces a sense of resignation as the lyrics mention that despite changes in the lyrics and melody, the tune remains stuck in the singer's head. This could suggest a feeling of being unable to escape from the recurring thoughts or emotions associated with the song, mirroring the idea of being stuck in a certain mindset or situation. The line "It will be till I'm dead" implies a sense of permanence or inevitability, emphasizing the impact that this constant repetition has on the singer's thoughts and feelings.


Finally, the repetition of the first verse in the last stanza brings the song full circle, reinforcing the theme of the world moving too slowly for humans to keep up. By repeating these lines, the singer underscores the ongoing struggle with the pace of life and the feeling of being stuck in a time zone. The overall tone of the lyrics conveys a sense of disillusionment and resignation, with the repeated refrain of "I just don't know anymore" capturing the singer's uncertainty and unease in trying to navigate a world that seems to be moving at conflicting speeds.
