Slow Down
Moods Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why don't you need me the way I need you
Why won't you let me be that true to you
Why don't you need me the way I need you
Why won't you let me be that true to you

Everybody's about that life
Drinkin', smokin', smash all night
What to do when love's not right?
Maybe look into the sky, I'm here

Slow down
Be here (you know it)
You know
I will change your life
Slow down (hey yeah)
Leave fear
I know
You're afraid of love

But you like to party
And move your body
'Cause you're a hottie dancin', dancin'
But where's the meaning?
Your heart is bleeding
So keep on leaning, I'll be standing

Let it go (you can cry)
Let it go (anytime)
Let it go (on my shoulder)
Let it go
Let it go (you can cry)
Let it go (anytime)
Let it go (on my shoulder)
Let it go

Let it go (you can cry)
Let it go (anytime)
Let it go (on my shoulder)
Let it go
Let it go (you can cry)
Let it go (anytime)
Let it go (on my shoulder)
Let it go

Slow down
Leave fear
I know
You're afraid of love
Slow down
Be here




Iyouknow
Can I change your life? Yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Moods's song Slow Down depict a person who is deeply in love and seeks the same level of affection from their partner. The individual wonders why their partner cannot reciprocate their feelings in the same manner. They express their desire to be true to the other person but feel that their love is not being accepted in the manner it deserves. The individual observes that in modern society, everyone seems preoccupied with partying, drinking, and having a good time. However, they realize that when love is not right, it is time to look for something meaningful. They assure their partner that they will be there for them and urges them to slow down to see the bigger picture.


The lyrics further explore the idea that the partner enjoys partying and dancing but lacks a deeper meaning outside of these activities. This person has a bleeding heart, and despite the fun lifestyle, they maintain, they have never found the love they seek. They push themselves to continue having a good time until they discover what they truly desire in life. Finally, the lyrics urge the partner to let go of their inhibitions and embrace their feelings fully. They reassure them that they can cry anytime because they have a shoulder to lean on.
