Slow It Down
DREAMDNVR Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She got a name on the streets
You see her at the party
She gets her high for free
I hope tonight itโ€ฒs me

Some nights we don't wanna talk about it
With our bodies close
When weโ€ฒre all alone
Down the hallway
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 donโ€ฒt wanna stop until the roof comes down
So letโ€ฒs slow it down

She got me bitin' my teeth
No I canโ€ฒt 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 weโ€ฒre all alone
Down the hallway
I can hear you calling
Off the walls we roll
I'm not coming home

Slow it down you donโ€ฒt 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 donโ€ฒt gotta worry when the lights go out
Something in my cup just made me lose my mind and




I donโ€ฒt wanna stop until the roof comes down
So let's slow it down

Overall Meaning

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.
