Lightspeed
Karolien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop, take in the scene.
Wait, don't complicate,
Something that's real.
Still you push and you pull,
Like you're on a fixed agenda,
I don't mean to be cruel,
I won't fake love, slow it down,
What's the rush? We're perfect now.
If you're so into me, have a little faith and see,
To win this heart there's no secret to find
I don't need much, just a little more time
Quit moving at lightspeed.
You're moving at lightspeed.
Plan? Tear up the plan,
Trust in "wait and see".
Lets walk more than we talk,
And find out where it leads.
I won't let my guard down,
'Til I know I can't regret it,
If that's too much to ask,
Then look lets just forget it.
I won't fake love, slow it down,
What's the rush? We're perfect now.
If you're so into me, have a little faith and see,
To win this heart just forget the race
Don't try so hard and turn down the pace,
Quit moving at lightspeed.
You're moving at lightspeed.
YeaaAahaaHaahaAA
Can't you kiss me now, sweep me of the ground,
Make me go oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.
It's not that hard to do, don't make it all 'bout you,
I know this mind ain't gonna change,
If you can't deal then walk away….
I won't fake love, slow it down,
What's the rush? We're perfect now.
If you're so into me, have a little faith and see,
To win this heart there's no secret to find
I don't need much, just a little more time
Quit moving at lightspeed.
You're moving at lightspeed.
You're moving at lightspeed.
YeaaAahaaHaahaAA
In Karolien's song "Lightspeed," the artist seems to be addressing a lover who is moving too quickly in the relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants the relationship to slow down and progress at a more natural pace, rather than rushing to reach some predetermined goal or endpoint. The opening lines ("Time, it's all 'bout time / Stop, take in the scene / Wait, don't complicate / Something that's real") are a clear call to slow down and appreciate what's in front of them.
The chorus reinforces this message, with the repeated refrain of "I won't fake love, slow it down / What's the rush? We're perfect now." The singer seems confident that they're on the right path with this person, but simply wants things to develop more organically. They're calling for trust ("Lets walk more than we talk / And find out where it leads") and a willingness to abandon a rigid plan in favor of seeing where things go.
Overall, "Lightspeed" is a message of patience and commitment, suggesting that true love is worth waiting for and building gradually. The song's catchy melody and upbeat tempo give it a positive, hopeful feeling, and Karolien's strong vocal performance adds a sense of conviction and sincerity to the lyrics.

You're moving at lightspeed.
You're moving too fast.
