Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm happy that we met.
Don't think that I'm not interested.
I'm just playing hard to get
So much about this crazy game they call love
That I'm trying to understand,
So could you be my best friend,
Why can't I love you in slow motion,
Take my time,
Take away the pressure on my mind
Really get to know you
But rewind
Wanna love you in slow motion
Why can't I?
You seem to know just what you want
And I like your confidence
Some things a girl should never rush
Cause If you do you hurt yourself
So much about this crazy game they call love
That I'm trying to understand,
So could you be my best friend,
Before you call yourself my man
Why can't I love you in slow motion,
Take my time,
Take away the pressure on my mind
Really get to know you
But rewind
Wanna love you in slow motion
Why can't I?
I'm too young for tears in the night
And it's to soon for this to be right
Don't wanna mess with your pride
The questions not when but why
Why can't I love you in slow motion,
Take my time,
Take away the pressure on my mind
Really get to know you
But rewind
Wanna love you in slow motion
Why can't I?
The lyrics to Karina's(카리나) song Slow Motion express the doubts and insecurities of a young woman who is hesitant to commit to a romantic relationship. She acknowledges that the person in question has been pursuing her, and she enjoys their company, but she is not ready to jump into a serious relationship. She is playing "hard to get" in order to figure out whether the person is worth the effort and whether she is ready for love.
The lyrics touch on the complexity of "this crazy game" that people call love, emphasizing that understanding the dynamics of a romantic relationship takes time and patience. The singer recognizes the potential for hurt if things move too quickly and warns that some things should never be rushed. She wishes that she could take things slow and really get to know the other person before committing fully.
In the end, the singer is left with the question of why she can't love in slow motion. The lyrics suggest that despite her reservations, she has a genuine desire for a meaningful connection with the person in question but fears that moving too quickly could ruin something potentially special.
