Slow Down
Renee Heartfelt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slow down,
Before you drink this bar dry.
Words don't work.
Honey, learn to say goodbye.

'Cause there's nothing for me here now,
But the memory that just won't disappear.
Slow down.
I've been racing all my life

So loud.
But with you,
I could hear for the first time.
So tell them, there is nothing for me here now.

But a memory that just won't disappear.
They say you will find the road that




Leads you to what's right.
I don't believe them.

Overall Meaning

In Renee Heartfelt's song "Slow Down," the lyrics urge the listener to take a step back and slow down before making any impulsive decisions. The opening line advises against drinking the bar dry, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for living recklessly and indulging in excess. The next line, "Words don't work," suggests that no explanation or reasoning will change the situation at hand. The following line, "Honey, learn to say goodbye," encourages the listener to let go of attachments and move on from whatever is holding them back.


The chorus repeats the refrain "there's nothing for me here now," emphasizing that the singer is ready to move on from the past. However, the line "But a memory that just won't disappear" suggests that the past is not so easily left behind. The second verse reminisces about a past relationship, acknowledging that the experience was different from anything the singer had known before. The chorus is repeated, with the same message of moving on despite lingering memories.


The final lines of the song, "They say you will find the road that leads you to what's right. I don't believe them," suggest a skepticism towards conventional wisdom and clichéd advice. The overall message of the song seems to be that letting go of the past can be difficult but is ultimately necessary for growth and moving forward.

Slow down,
Take a moment to pause,


Before you drink this bar dry.
Before you drown your sorrows and numb your emotions,

Talking won't solve everything,


Honey, learn to say goodbye.
It's important to let go and move on,
