Slow Down
Halford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still my anger
Bring me peace
From my temper
I'm trying every way I can
I'm doing wrong I understand
Bring me peace - slow down - I can't have it, I can't have it all.
Break the strain
Feed my hunger
Tell my mind
To be stonger
I've got to move and make it real
I've got to make myself a deal
Break this strain - slow down - give up what I crave
Tell my mind - slow down - watch what I can, watch what I can save.
Will I rise
Out of shadow
Staying calm
Felling hollow
I'm here to give me one more chance
That choice is resting in my hands, yeah...
Let it be - slow down - watch the pressure fall
Bring me peace - slow down - I can't have it, I can't have it all.
Break this strain - slow down - give up what I crave
Tell my mind - slow down - watch what I can, watch what I can save.
The lyrics to Halford's song Slow Down are a call to action to take a step back and find peace in a chaotic situation. The beginning of the song talks about how the singer is trying to control his anger and temper and find peace within himself. He acknowledges that he has made mistakes and is trying to make amends. The chorus of the song emphasizes the need to slow down and let the pressure fall in order to find peace.
The second verse discusses the need to break the strain and feed one's hunger, but at the same time, the singer recognizes the importance of being strong-minded and making the right choices. The bridge of the song contemplates if the singer will be able to rise out of the shadows and stay calm, even when feeling hollow. He expresses a desire to give himself one more chance and take control of his situation.
The overall message of the song is to take a step back and let go of the pressure and stress that life can bring. It is a reminder to slow down and find peace within oneself, even when facing difficult situations.

this is a stress relief and a reminder that when u been done wrong you may want to explode but most times things resolve themselves and you can have it all in the end.....without doing a thing........Halford is a Godsend to humanity with a voice from another realm
@annahanguiano8931
Time can't stop the Metal God. The 70's 80's solidified Halford as the Metal God. The 90's and the grunge movement couldn't stop him. His band Fight in the 90's came in and kicked the ass of every grunge band in existence. Then came the year 2000 a new decade and the Metal God put out the most epic metal album to exist. 🤘All hail Rob Halford! 🙌
