Slow Moves
Josÿ Gonzÿlez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To lead me past, their sly disguise
My moves are slow but soon they'll know
Behind the scenes they grow their schemes
Hiding intentions, revealing only fractions
Their moves are slow but soon you'll know
They'll keep on whispering their mantras
We'll keep on whispering our mantras
Their moves are slow but soon you'll know
These lyrics from Josÿ Gonzÿlez's song Slow Moves depict a situation where the singer is navigating a tricky situation. They are aware that there are people around them who are not being entirely truthful, and are perhaps actively scheming behind the scenes. In response, the singer is trying to find a balance between being honest themselves while also not revealing too much to those who might use that information against them.
The repeated lines "My moves are slow but soon they'll know / Their moves are slow but soon you'll know" suggest a feeling of tension and impending consequences. It seems that both the singer and the other parties involved are aware that a conflict is coming, but are waiting for the right moment to reveal their hand. It's possible that the "mantras" whispered by both sides are words of encouragement or affirmation, intended to bolster themselves against the stress and uncertainty of the situation.
