Slow It Down
DREAMDNVR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You see her at the party
She gets her high for free
I hope tonight itโฒs me
Some nights we don't wanna talk about it
With our bodies close
When weโฒre all alone
I can hear you calling
Off the walls we roll
I'm not coming home
Slow it down you don't gotta worry when the lights go out
Something in my cup just made me lose my mind and
I donโฒt wanna stop until the roof comes down
So letโฒs slow it down
She got me bitin' my teeth
No I canโฒt get no sleep
Wish I could let it be
But she brings it out of me
Some nights we don't wanna talk about it
With our bodies close
When weโฒre all alone
Down the hallway
I can hear you calling
Off the walls we roll
I'm not coming home
Slow it down you donโฒt gotta worry when the lights go out
Something in my cup just made me lose my mind and
I don't wanna stop until the roof comes down
So let's slow it down
Slow it down you donโฒt gotta worry when the lights go out
Something in my cup just made me lose my mind and
I donโฒt wanna stop until the roof comes down
So let's slow it down
The lyrics of DREAMDNVR's song SLOW IT DOWN focus on a guy's lust for a girl who is well known in the streets and who seems to always get her high for free - he hopes that tonight, it's him who she chooses to be with. The verses describe how sometimes they don't want to talk but just be close with their bodies while they're alone, and how he can hear her calling him down the hallway. The chorus expresses the desire to slow things down and enjoy the moment, even if something in their cups makes them lose their minds.
The overall message of the song is about losing oneself in the moment, without the pressure of having to worry about anything else. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship based purely on physical attraction and the thrill of the moment, rather than anything deeper or more meaningful. The phrase "slow it down" is used as a sort of mantra for the characters in the song, reminding them to live in the moment and enjoy it.

She got a name on the streets
This woman has a reputation in the community
You see her at the party
She's a regular at social gatherings
She gets her high for free
She doesn't pay for her drugs
I hope tonight it's me
He wants to be the one to provide her with drugs tonight
Some nights we don't wanna talk about it
There are some evenings where they don't want to speak about their issues
With our bodies close
They express their feelings physically
When we're all alone
They prefer intimacy when there are no disturbances
Down the hallway
He hears her calling from a distant room
I can hear you calling
She's reaching out to him
Off the walls we roll
Their passion is intense and overwhelming
I'm not coming home
He's not returning to his abode
Slow it down you don't gotta worry when the lights go out
They should take things slowly and enjoy the moment
Something in my cup just made me lose my mind and
He's under the influence of something
I don't wanna stop until the roof comes down
He intends to party until the break of dawn
So let's slow it down
They should not rush and relish the present while it lasts
She got me bitin' my teeth
He's feeling uneasy and anxious around her
No I can't get no sleep
She's causing him insomnia
Wish I could let it be
He desires to let go of his fixation on her
But she brings it out of me
She has a captivating effect on him
