Slow
MATOMA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one can make me go home
'Cause no one's waitin' there for me
And I just can't be alone
Your green eyes are a weapon
Shot a hole in my heart
Now I'm fallin' for the bad one
And I'm seein' signs
I don't wanna go slow, oh
I don't wanna go slow, oh
Every time you're pullin' backwards
I'm just gonna fall in faster
'Cause I don't wanna go slow, oh
No one likes bein' honest, but I'ma give you that
So ask me how much I want you, and I'ma whisper back
How many other girls you know sayin'
"Hold up front and I'll take care of you"?
'Cause now I fell for the bad one, and it never lasts
So I don't wanna go slow, oh
I don't wanna go slow, oh
Every time you're pullin' backwards
I'm just gonna fall in faster
'Cause I don't wanna go slow, oh
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna go slow, oh
I don't wanna go slow, oh
I don't wanna go so
No I don't wanna go slow, oh
I don't wanna go slow, (I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go) oh
Every time you're pullin' backwards
I'm just gonna fall in faster
'Cause I don't wanna go slow, oh
I don't wanna
I don't wanna go slow
I don't wanna
The lyrics of MATOMA's song Slow convey a story of a late-night encounter between the singer and a woman with striking green eyes. The singer admits that he doesn't want to go home because he doesn't want to be alone. He finds himself attracted to the woman, despite knowing that she may not be the best choice for him. He calls her the "bad one" and acknowledges that falling for her may not end well.
The feelings of desire and attraction are palpable in the chorus when the singer declares, "I don't wanna go slow." He doesn't want to take the time to get to know her slowly and cautiously because he's already fallen for her. Every time she pulls back, he only falls faster. The singer isn't afraid to be honest about his feelings and admits that he wants her. He questions how many other girls tell her that they'll take care of her like he will.
The song is about taking chances and going for what you want, even if the consequences could be negative. The singer is willing to risk heartache and pain for a chance to be with this woman. The lyrics suggest that the rush and excitement of the situation are worth it.
