Again and Again
Slow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It ain’t love to me
It don’t come for free
And I can barely speak
My bad
I didn’t say what I need
My boo
You’re too smart too read
You go down
And make it hard to breath
We make love
You said it ain’t love to me
We just fuck
And then fall asleep
You’re so sound
And I can barely speak
I’m alone again
Lost a piece of myself and now I’m home again
But it don’t look familiar
These walls are closing in
Don’t confuse my love for my feelings
Don’t abuse my trust you can’t keep it
I think of
Me as a fighter
Still undefeated
So undecided
Champion vinyl
Music for driving
Hit the casino
Buy me a title
I think you saw me
Maybe on tv
Too busy bongin’
Too busy dreaming (Too high)
Maybe I see it
Cos I gotta live it
Ever since the beginning
I know you’re trying
You’re not to be tested
I can be empathetic
I can be sympathetic
I can regret shit
And get arrested
And forget the best bits
I’ll miss you but It’s cool that you’re leaving
Just as long as we’re even
I’m alone again
Lost a piece of myself and now I’m
Home again
But it don’t look familiar
These walls are closing in
Don’t confuse my love for my feelings
Don’t abuse my trust you can’t keep it
I’m alone again
Lost a piece of myself and now I’m
Home again
But it don’t look familiar
These walls are closing in




Don’t confuse my love for my feelings
Don’t abuse my trust you can’t keep it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Slow's song "Again and Again" depict a complex and conflicted relationship between two individuals. The singer seems to be expressing their feelings of loneliness and disconnect, despite being in a physical relationship with their partner. The lines "It ain’t love to me, It don’t come for free" suggest that the singer feels a lack of emotional connection in the relationship and possibly views it as transactional or superficial. The mention of struggling to communicate and feeling unable to express their needs implies a sense of frustration and inability to connect on a deeper level.


The reference to making love but the partner stating "it ain’t love to me, We just fuck" highlights a disconnect in their perception of the relationship. The singer seems to yearn for more emotional intimacy and connection, while the partner may view their interactions as purely physical. Despite this, the singer acknowledges feeling alone and missing a piece of themselves, indicating a longing for something more meaningful and fulfilling.


The repetition of the line "Don’t confuse my love for my feelings, Don’t abuse my trust you can’t keep it" underscores the importance of boundaries and respect in the relationship. The singer seems to be asserting their worth and the need for mutual understanding and trust. The references to being a fighter and maintaining a sense of self amidst uncertainty suggest a resilience and determination to navigate the complexities of the relationship.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing, confusion, and a struggle to reconcile the physical aspect of the relationship with the emotional void the singer feels. The repeated motif of feeling alone and lost, yet returning home to unfamiliar surroundings, paints a picture of internal conflict and a search for authenticity and connection. The song delves into themes of self-worth, emotional honesty, and the challenges of navigating relationships that may lack depth and mutual understanding.

And then drift off to sleep

Possibly on television


Too busy bongin’
Too preoccupied with smoking from a bong

I can be sympathetic
I can show compassion and understanding


I can regret shit
I can feel remorse for things


And get arrested
And face the consequences


And forget the best bits
And overlook the good moments


I’ll miss you but It’s cool that you’re leaving
I'll feel a void when you're gone, but I'm okay with your departure


Just as long as we’re even
As long as there's balance between us
