Slow
Decline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slow down
We're not talking about me anymore
I feel like a stranger
I feel like i'm homeless
I feel like you

This song is a redemption
before I release
everything that doesn't represent me anymore
This song is a redemption
before I release
everything that doesn't represent me anymore

Sick of all the writings on the wall
All painted with gold ink
Looking for a brand new place to fall
As truthful as my pain
I know that sometimes we just need to move
It's so hard, It's to late
Theres no way to prove

I will never be as Jim
I will never have a girl like April
My life is a dramatic sitcom that I can't escape (I'm just trying to talk about it)
and I just sing and wait for a notification that kills me slowly
I know
Your virtual self-love makes me so dumb (I'm just trying to talk about it)

This song is a redemption
before I release
everything that doesn't represent me anymore

Sick of all the writings on the wall
All painted with gold ink
Looking for a brand new place to fall
As truthful as my pain
I know that sometimes we just need to move
It's so hard, Its to late
Theres no way to prove

Sick of all the writings on the wall
All painted with gold ink
Looking for a brand new place to fall
As truthful as my pain
I know that sometimes we just need to move
It's so hard, Its to late
Theres no way to prove

It's so hard, it's to late
Theres no way to prove
I'ts so hard, it's to late
Theres no way to prove




I'ts so hard, it's to late
Theres no way to prove

Overall Meaning

In the first part of the song, the lyrics express feelings of alienation and displacement. The singer talks about feeling like a stranger, homeless, and disconnected – possibly from a former self or relationship. The repetition of "slow down" suggests a desire to pause and reflect on these emotions. This introspection leads to a sense of redemption, a need to let go of things that no longer define the singer. There is a longing to release these burdens before moving forward.


The imagery of "writings on the wall painted with gold ink" suggests a superficial facade that the singer is weary of. The search for a new place to fall, as honest as the pain felt, indicates a yearning for authenticity and genuine connections. The acknowledgment that sometimes one must simply move on, despite the difficulty and impossibility of proving oneself, reflects the struggle of acceptance and letting go.


The reference to not being like Jim or having a girl like April portrays a sense of inadequacy or unattainability. The comparison to a dramatic sitcom highlights the singer's perception of their own life as chaotic and inescapable. The mention of waiting for a notification that slowly kills could symbolize the detrimental impact of external influences or expectations on one's psyche.


The repeated chorus emphasizes the frustration and finality of the situation. The phrase "it's so hard, it's too late, there's no way to prove" conveys a sense of resignation and defeat. The repetition of these lines underscores the weight of the emotions being grappled with. Overall, the song captures the complexities of self-exploration, the struggle for authenticity, and the emotional turmoil of trying to break free from perceived constraints.

Sleep matters
Low cholesterol and APOB
Low lipids
Exercise matters

If only three hours a week to exercise:
One hour low intensity cardio
One hour interval
One hoir strength

EDIT: These are total for the week figure and not all done at once.

I researched this in Spring when rolling clocks forward an hour while I was waking at 3am for airline training adversely affected the Simulator performance of myself and 3 other trainees, aged 22 to 60.
When you sleep in deep sleep the brain flushes out beta amyloid. Beta amyloid leads to Alzheimer’s.
Sleep deprivation affects the reproductive system by lowering your testosterone to that of a man 10 years older.
Deprivation impacts the immune system. One night of five hours of sleep equals a 70% reduction in cancer immune cells.
Deprivation impacts cardiovascular condition. As the heart rate drops,blood pressure goes down during sleep. When you don’t sleep, heart rate stays elevated.
When sleep deprived the brain can’t make new memories or new learn things or commit things to memory.
Getting less than six hours of sleep equals a 200% increased risk of fatal heart attack or a stroke in your lifetime.

Daylight savings time particularly in spring when clocks roll forward lead to a 24% increase in heart attacks the following day.

Four unequivocally beneficial things for brain health: have good and adequate sleep, lower LDL cholesterol, avoiding type 2 diabetes, and exercise.

@keithb4077

Put a star by #4; it helps with all of the other three. If we were listing habits instead of just quantifiables, it would be healthy diet, healthy sleep, healthy activity. The more things change, the more the they stay the same. Some foundations in life can't be hacked or innovated, you just need to apply discipline to the knowledge you already have.

LDL isn’t inherently bad by any means. We need cholesterol to live. The way that you get it is what matters.

I did a lot of reading and writing and it has kept my cognitive level very high through my whole life. I was a little sharper at age 30, but I never stopped reading and now I know more than I knew then. I have a wider base of knowledge. I can't wrestle anymore, but I could probably write a history book. I didn't have the patience to write a book when I was 25.

If I didn't read and write I would have had cognitive issues from psychological and physical trauma. I had 3 concussions and I felt a decline happening at an early age. I knew the reading and writing was having very definite effect on my cognition. I had a foggy feeling and then it snapped back into shape from continual reading and making an attempt at writing something. Read paper not off a computer screen. Take 3 hours out of your day and read and then go to your computer and write something about what you read for a few minutes. Your brain will sharpen up even if you got banged up. New neurological pathways are formed from crossword puzzles, reading, writing. I'm not sure you have to read Aristotle, it can be a magazine or a novel. Sit and write something like I am right now. It is amazing what the human body can do to heal itself. You need to put something into action to get the best results. The more effort you put into your diet and exercise the more blood there is running around the body nourishing everything. Coupled with reading and writing, is diet and exercise. A good lifestyle is powerful medicine for healing.

@TeaParty1776

Doctors or nurses these days ask about lifestyle. Socrates said that curing the soul cures the body. I, personally, like to get stoned and think good thoughts.

@charlesbaldo

Good advice, I disagree about the screen reading though. I read and write software 8-10 hours a day. Paper reading maybe a half to an hour an evening and only recreational reading. No tech manuals or News. I had a calculator brain at 23, at 66 I use wisdom to write better software.
