Slow
LECADE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′ve got a neon high, starin at the neon in your eyes
As you waste my time (my time)
We sure ain't slow to cross no lines

So tell me where the black tie bends
′Cause I'm flyin' down one way town tonight
Tell me when the last call is
Or if you choose to treat me right
You try to drive me insane, I smile through the pain
Does your voice crack when you cry my name?
Tell me you would try to change
Turn around and do the same things
Well I don′t got time for your games

So pour it slo-o-o-ow
Before I go-o-o-o
And take off down this old back road
Before you turn my heart too cold
So pour it slo-o-o-ow
Before I go-o-o-o
And take off down this old back road
Before you turn my heart too cold

I think I need to quit on you
I think I need a minute to clear my head
Couldn′t take another sip on you
'Cause you′d end up right back in my bed
Throw the blame on me, put me on my knees
Well I'm so numb I don′t feel no bleeds
Saw you change on me, love don't come cheap
Came to trail my pain, just follow my lead
Well tell me how the story goes
We been in different modes
I′m trynna piece together everything that I was told
We've been hittin' newer lows
It′s gettin′ stupid old
Try to tell me I'm the problem, well that′s super bold
I feel the venom burn
I think it's time for this to take a turn
I′m sorry that you had to be another lesson learned
'Cause I′ve been feeling like we're past the point of no return
Now why you acting like you're jealous

So tell me where the black tie bends
′Cause I′m flyin' down a one way town tonight
Well tell me when the last call is
Or if you choose to treat me right
You try to drive me insane, I smile through the pain
Does your voice crack when you cry my name?
Tell me you would try to change
Turn around and do the same things
Well I don′t got time for your games

So pour it slo-o-o-ow
Before I go-o-o-o
And take off down this old back road
Before you turn my heart too cold
Pour it slo-o-o-ow
Before I go-o-o-o
And take off down this old back road
Before you turn my heart too cold
(Pour it slo-o-o-ow)
(Go-o-o-o)




(Pour it slo-o-o-ow)
(Go-o-o-o)

Overall Meaning

The song "Slow" by LECADE speaks about a toxic relationship that has reached the point of no return. The singer is tired of his partner's manipulative behavior and emotional abuse. In the first verse, he describes his state of mind and how he feels trapped in a never-ending cycle of pain and frustration. He is tired of his partner wasting his time and playing mind games. The line "We sure ain't slow to cross no lines" suggests that they have crossed boundaries and tried to hurt each other in various ways.


The chorus of the song is a warning to his partner to pour the drinks slowly before he walks out of the relationship. The back road in the lyrics represents the escape from a manipulative partner. The singer realizes that it's time to move forward and leave his partner's toxicity behind. He doesn't want to become cold-hearted, and therefore he must leave before it's too late. In the second verse, he expresses his desire to quit the relationship and move on. He knows it's time to walk away, and he needs space to clear his head. He can't imagine taking another sip of his partner's love because he knows it will only lead him down the same path.
