Slow It Down
Nordista Freeze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
with a girl down the street
she asked me if i pray
i said every day
she just smiled and walked away
played a set on a farm
fell asleep with a girl in the barn
she said she'd write me everyday
but it was never that way
like i had nothing left to say
sister says i'm coming on too strong
all these girls just want someone
i'm so open i'm an instant fix
sister says i gotta slow it down
In Nordista Freeze's song Slow It Down, the lyrics tell a story of falling in love with a neighbor, who asks the singer if he prays, to which he replies that he does every day. However, she walks away with a smile, leaving the singer in confusion. The second verse narrates a night where he played at a farm and fell asleep with a girl in a barn. Upon waking up, the girl promised to write to him every day, but the promise was not kept, leaving him feeling as though he had nothing left to say. The final verse features the singer's sister warning him that he's coming on too strong with girls, who only want an instant fix. She advises him to slow it down.
The song speaks to a common human experience of feeling the highs of love and then the disappointment when the feeling is not mutual. The confusion and frustration that come with these experiences are communicated in the poetic lyrics that are easy to identify with. Additionally, the song speaks to the struggle of being vulnerable with one's emotions and the tension between giving in to those emotions and being cautious.
