Slow Moves
Josι Gonzαlez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A compromise between honesty and lies
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
My moves are slow but soon they'll know




Their moves are slow but soon you'll know

Overall Meaning

In Josι Gonzαlez's song Slow Moves, the lyrics make a statement about the dynamics of personal interactions and relationships. The opening line of "A compromise between honesty and lies" suggests that the singer is aware of how much withholding from the truth may be necessary to navigate their social environment. However, "to lead me past, their sly disguise" implies that there are still those who are capable of deception despite knowing the compromises people must make to get by.


The phrase "My moves are slow but soon they'll know" has a power that resonates throughout the lyrics. It suggests that even though the singer is being cautious, they'll eventually reveal their true intentions. On the other hand, "Behind the scenes they grow their schemes" implies that those with hidden motives may be dormant and calculating behind the scenes.


The final line of "Their moves are slow but soon you'll know" emphasizes that both parties are aware of each other's presence and intentions, even if they aren't immediately forthcoming about them. The repeated line "We'll keep on whispering our mantras" alludes to the unease and platitudes that can arise from these interactions. The singer's efforts to remain true to their values and goals despite the cautionary nature of the people around them is the crux of this introspective song.
