Slow
OWEL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have me still
When I finally find my way to you.
Leave a note
On your door
If you finally found what you been looking for.
Just leave it on hold, hold, hold for now
Oh won't you slow, down that love
Until I am bold, bold, bold enough.
Save a chair
If you can
Say you'll swear to eat alone 'till I'm there
Just say farewell (yeah)
Southern belle
If you find a southern boy who will treat you well.
Aw won't you slow, slow it down
Just leave it on hold, hold, hold for now
Now won't you slow down that love
Until I can hold, hold, hold you up
Oh won't you slow
Slow it down
Just leave it on hold, leave it on hold
Now won't you slow
Down that love
'Till I am bold
Untill I am bold
Slow.
The song "Slow" by OWEL is about the longing for love and the willingness to wait for it. The song begins with the singer asking their love interest to have them still when they finally find their way to them. This conveys the idea that even though the singer may not be with their love interest at the moment, they hope to be in the future. Further, the singer asks their love interest to leave a note on their door if they finally find what they're looking for. This could represent the feeling of lost hope and the idea of not giving up on someone.
The chorus repeats the line "Oh won't you slow, slow it down" which could be a plea to their love interest to hold off on pursuing the relationship until the singer is ready. The second verse emphasizes the idea of waiting until the right time, with the singer asking their love interest to save them a chair and to swear to eat alone until they're there. The use of the phrase "southern belle" in the lyrics adds a nostalgic touch and reinforces the idea of waiting for something worthwhile.
Overall, "Slow" is a romantic ballad that focuses on the themes of hope, patience, and longing. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and sincerity, with the singer expressing their desire to be with their love interest in the future. The melody of the song is soft and slow, adding to the emotional impact of the lyrics.
