Slowly
Frida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We share a life in one dimension
Our problems always seem to cloud the sky
But we don't pay them much attention
And with every day
We drift apart
I can feel it in my heart
And though a part of me still needs him so
There's something wrong
And I feel my love die
Slowly, slowly
No angry words and no heart-rending scenes
And we should take it as a warning
We keep on going through the old routines
Exchanging kisses in the morning
And with every day we drift apart
And the fear is in my heart
I read the signs and I should be mature
And yet a child could not be more unsure
There's something wrong
And I feel my love die
Slowly, slowly
Our passion's just a distant memory
And in its place a dull frustration
A cold indifference where there used to be
At least a frequent irritation
But a feeling still
Of tenderness
And of pity, so I guess
I'll be the woman in his arms tonight
If he should need someone to hold him tight
He's like a child
But I feel my love die
Slowly
That man is not the man I used to know
And though a part of me still needs him so
There's something wrong
And I feel my love die
Slowly, slowly
Slowly, slowly
Slowly, slowly
Slowly, slowly
The song "Slowly" by Frida is a melancholic ballad that touches on the struggles of a relationship. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "slowly, slowly," which implies the slow deterioration of love and passion within the relationship. The opening lines describe the couple's tendency to take each other for granted, despite living life in one dimension. They have problems, but they tend to ignore them or not pay attention, which causes a slow drift apart, as the singer can feel in her heart that the man she once knew is not the same.
The second verse implies that the couple's relationship has turned into a routine without any excitement or genuine affection, and they exchange kisses in the morning as if it is just a duty they need to perform. The singer feels fear in her heart after reading the signs that show their slow drift apart, and despite knowing that she should be mature, she feels unsure like a child. In the bridge, she admits that even though the passion is lost, a feeling of tenderness and pity still exists, and that is why she might still be the woman in his arms tonight, so she can hold him tight like a child, but she is aware that her love is dying slowly.
Overall, the song portrays the slow and painful process of falling out of love and losing passion, even though there might still be some tenderness left. It highlights the importance of paying attention to the little things, identifying issues, and taking actions to find solutions before it is too late.
