Slow
Oh Land & Turboweekend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Straight to the source
I'm a bullet on collision course
At blistering speed
Not to sink like a storm
Now you see me, now you don't
With that taste for flashing light
You moving way, to fast for love
Don't wanna run
So want you stop me red light
pull all the brakes
Don't wanna lose your burn
I, this is too great
I hear the drum roll
We´re losing control
And move
slow slow slow slow...
We move slow
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Slow oh oh oh oh oh oh
Out of the black
Into the blue
Before you know it's all played through
Shaking so hard
That your falling apart
You need a firm hand to steady your heart
With a taste for flashing lights
I might have moved to fast for love
Making haste, won't make it right
I don't wanna run ... nomore
So want you stop me red light
pull all the brakes
Don't wanna lose your burn
I, this is too great
I hear the drum roll
"bum bum bum"
We´re losing control
And move
slow slow slow slow...
We move slow
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Slow oh oh oh oh oh oh
Slow oh oh oh oh oh oh
Slow oh oh oh oh oh oh
...
I´m tired up in this race
Faster for every round
Driving myself
down down down
"clap, clap"
So want you stop me red light
pull all the brakes
Don't wanna lose your burn
I, this is too great
I hear the drum roll
"bum bum bum"
We´re losing control
And move
Slooooow oh oh oh oh oh oh
Stop me red light
pull all the brakes
Don't wanna lose your burn
I, this is too great
I hear the drum roll
"bum bum bum"
We´re losing control
And move
Slow slow slow slow
We move
Slooooow oh oh oh oh oh oh
Slooooow oh oh oh oh oh oh

A shot in the dark
Taking a chance without knowing all the details
Straight to the source
Going right to the main point of the matter
I'm a bullet on collision course
Moving quickly towards an unavoidable crash
At blistering speed
Moving so fast, it's almost painful
Not to sink like a storm
Trying not to drown under difficult circumstances
Now you see me, now you don't
Appearing and disappearing quickly
With that taste for flashing light
Being attracted to things that catch your attention
You moving way, to fast for love
Moving faster than the pace of love can handle
Making haste, won't make it right
Rushing won't solve the problem
Don't wanna run
Not wanting to escape from the situation
So want you stop me red light
Asking for someone to slow down and stop things
pull all the brakes
Stopping every action immediately
Don't wanna lose your burn
Not wanting to lose the excitement and passion
I, this is too great
Feeling overwhelmed with emotion
I hear the drum roll
Hearing the adrenaline pumping in your ears
We´re losing control
Losing control over the situation
And move
Taking action
slow slow slow slow...
Moving with caution and care
We move slow
Taking it slow and steady
Out of the black
Getting out of a dark situation
Into the blue
Entering a new phase of life
Before you know it's all played through
Realizing that life has passed by quickly
Shaking so hard
Feeling unstable and unsteady
That your falling apart
Becoming emotionally distressed
You need a firm hand to steady your heart
Needing someone to be supportive during difficult times
I might have moved to fast for love
Admitting that things might have moved too quickly
I don't wanna run ... nomore
Not wanting to keep fleeing from the situation
I´m tired up in this race
Becoming exhausted and drained from the stress
Faster for every round
Feeling like things are speeding up, becoming more intense
Driving myself down down down
Feeling like you're forcing yourself to keep going and it's taking a toll
clap, clap
Sound of encouragement or expression of agreement
Slooooow oh oh oh oh oh oh
Taking things slow and steady
Stop me red light
Calling for a pause or halt to things
