Slowly But Surely
Holly Go Lightly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slowly but surely
Time goes by
And baby here am I
I'm wasting my time on you
Time goes by
Slowly but surely
And sometimes I have to cry
For loving you like I do
I'm watching a clock
And waiting for you
But how long
How long must I wait?
The beat of my heart
It's telling me true
'Give it up
You made a mistake'
Time goes by
Slowly but surely
Time goes by
And baby here am I
Oh, I'm wasting my time on you
Time goes by
Slowly but surely
Time goes by
Oh, slowly but surely
Time goes by
Slowly but surely
Time goes by
The lyrics to Holly Go Lightly's song Slowly But Surely speak to the endless passing of time and the pain that comes from being stuck in a one-sided love affair. The repeated line "time goes by, slowly but surely" emphasizes the mundane passing of each day, while the singer's unrequited love for this person seems to make time feel even slower. The singer acknowledges that she is "wasting" her time on this person, yet can't seem to help herself. She cries for the love that she has for them, despite knowing that it won't be reciprocated.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of waiting. The singer is "watching the clock" and "waiting" for the person she loves to come around, but can't help but wonder how long she will have to wait. The beat of her heart is telling her that she needs to give up and move on, but her love for this person is too strong.
Overall, the song's lyrics are a poignant depiction of unrequited love and the passing of time when one is stuck in a hopeless situation. The melancholic melody and Holly Go Lightly's haunting vocals only add to the song's emotional depth.
