Slow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.
Line by Line Meaning
It ain’t love to me
I don't believe this relationship is based on love
It don’t come for free
Love isn't something that comes without sacrifice
And I can barely speak
I struggle to express my true feelings
My bad
I made a mistake
I didn’t say what I need
I failed to communicate my desires
My boo
My dear
You’re too smart too read
You're too intelligent to be fooled
You go down
You lower my spirits
And make it hard to breath
You make it difficult for me to breathe
We make love
We engage in physical intimacy
You said it ain’t love to me
You expressed that this isn't love to you
We just fuck
We simply have sexual relations
And then fall asleep
And then drift off to sleep
You’re so sound
You are so stable
I’m alone again
I find myself isolated once more
Lost a piece of myself and now I’m home again
I feel like a part of me is missing and now I'm back where I started
But it don’t look familiar
But it doesn't feel recognizable
These walls are closing in
I feel trapped and confined
Don’t confuse my love for my feelings
Don't mistake my affection for my emotions
Don’t abuse my trust you can’t keep it
Don't betray my trust if you can't maintain it
I think of
I consider
Me as a fighter
Myself as someone who fights
Still undefeated
Still having not been defeated
So undecided
So unsure
Champion vinyl
A metaphorical description of successful music
Music for driving
Music to listen to while driving
Hit the casino
Go to a casino
Buy me a title
Purchase a title
I think you saw me
I believe that you noticed me
Maybe on tv
Possibly on television
Too busy bongin’
Too preoccupied with smoking from a bong
Too busy dreaming (Too high)
Too caught up in dreaming (possibly due to being under the influence)
Maybe I see it
Perhaps I understand it
Cos I gotta live it
Because I have to experience it
Ever since the beginning
From the very start
You’re not to be tested
You shouldn't be challenged
I can be empathetic
I have the capability to understand and share the feelings of others
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
