Slow
Chrishan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel so out of time yeah.
Thoughts race in through my mind...constantly..yeah yeah.
I-I don't know anymore.
Where do I go? Where do I go?
Where is my heart? Where is my heart?
How do I keep up, keep up, keep up,
Oh, speedin' slow, slow, slow
I feel so out my mind.
Life is slow on repeat.
Don't know what's come of me,
But it's so good, no no.
I-I don't know anymore.
Where do I go? Where do I go?
Where is my heart? Where is my heart?
How do I keep up, keep up, keep up,
When everything's speedin', speedin', speedin'
Oh, speedin' slow, slow, slow
Speedin', I'm speedin'.
Speedin', speedin', speedin' I'm speedin'.
In Chrishan's song "Slow," the lyrics depict a sense of disconnection and confusion. The singer feels out of place and out of time, as their thoughts continuously race through their mind. They express uncertainty about their current state, questioning where they should go and where their heart lies. The repetition of the phrase "speedin'" suggests that the world around them is moving quickly, but they find solace in finding their own pace, even if it means going slowly.
The lyrics convey a feeling of being overwhelmed by life, as if stuck in a repetitive and monotonous cycle. Despite this, there is a sense of contentment in their situation, with the line "but it's so good, no no." This could imply that even though they may feel disconnected and unsure, they have found a certain level of comfort in their slower pace.
Overall, the song "Slow" explores themes of uncertainty, the struggle to keep up with the fast-paced world, and finding peace in moving at one's own rhythm.

My mind is filled with racing thoughts that constantly bombard me

But strangely, I find comfort or satisfaction in this state
Speedin', I'm speedin'.
I'm trying to keep up and move quickly
Speedin', speedin', speedin' I'm speedin'.
I'm caught up in the fast pace of life and struggling to keep up
