Slow It Down
Jill Baylon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Much longer I can play this role as
Someone who lets it roll of their back.
I'm really quiet done with living like that.
Secret follow everywhere you go
They act like there's no one home (not sure)
I've seen two different sides of you
Be real with me!
Open up your doors
Tell me, what have you been hiding for
I can't take any more of this confusion
Done with this game, all I do is losing
Stay here right now
Please just slow it down
I don't know what
Causes to be stuck in this run
You back out following me around (not sure either)
You say song starting me out (pretty sure this isn't what she's singing)
Heart beats faster than it should
Tension building
Nothing felt good
(No Idea)
Tell me what your hiding from
Be real with me!
Open up your doors
Tell me, what have you been hiding for
I can't take any more of this confusion
Done with this game, all I do is losing
Stay here right now
please just slow it down
Oooooooooh ohohoh ohhh
Ooooooooooooooh ohohohhh
Oooooooooooooooh ohoooh ooh oohhh
Ooooooooooooooh oooooohh
Be real with me!
Open up your doors
Tell me, what have you been hiding for
I can't take any more of this confusion
Done with this game, all I do is losing
Stay here right now
Please just slow it down
Here right now
Please just slow it down
The song "Slow It Down" by Jill Baylon is an emotional plea from the singer to her partner to be more honest and open with her about their relationship. Baylon expresses her frustration with playing the role of someone who constantly lets things roll off their back, but is actually done with living like that. She has also noticed that her partner has two different sides to them and that they are no longer in tune with each other. Baylon asks her partner to be real with her, to open up their doors and tell her what they have been hiding from her. She cannot take any more confusion and is done with the game where all she does is lose. She urges her partner to stay with her and just slow down to work on their relationship.
The lyrics are filled with emotion, frustration, and a desire for honesty and authenticity in the relationship. Baylon clearly wants her partner to open up and be more genuine with her. Through her words, she expresses her exhaustion with playing games and her longing for a deeper connection. The repetition of the plea to slow it down and stay with her show how important this relationship is to her and how adamant she is about working on it.
