Slowly Slowly
Magnapop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel coarse and strain
Interrupt my mind again
I am being clear
I am sad to say I'm living here

I do it all the time
I do it all the time
It tries to interrupt me
Interrupt my mind
In a quiet room you wait
In another room they fight

They do it all the time
They do it all the time
They do it all the time
They do it all the time

Single fear
Clearly defined I'm wasting time again
Slowly coarse and strain go
Counting fear again no

Staring eye to eye
Then slowly me again
In another room they sit
Listening to other lies

And do it all the time
And do it all the time
And do it all the time

Single fear
Clearly defined I'm wasting time again
Slowly coarse and strain go
Counting fear again no

Staring eye to eye
Then slowly me again

Slowly, slowly





Slowly me again X8
