Slow Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The time it took for your muscles to grow and grip
Of all the things I've heard
Why'd it have to be these words
And in a second I'll be gone and you won't have to think
I got enough to keep me going, keep from the brink
As your bones grew, why did you become you?
Oh I've told you, oh to be older
You know I'm right, I'm right
You know these moments, they take years to pass
You gotta be coping, gotta be hoping the hands fly by fast
You call this true, why did you become you?
Become you?
See the sun rise now this has to end
Don't let it be the one to walk us home again
And you know you haven't got all the answers
If you did you wold be screaming them out
And I know I haven't got all the answers
If I did I would be screaming them out, screaming them out
And in a moment it all came to this
The greatest book you ever read came from my favorites list
Of all the things to lose
It's you I choose
Oh I told you, oh, to be older
You know I'm right, I'm right
Keep breathing, keep breathing
Find a scheme you believe in
The song "Beginners" by Slow Club is a heartfelt ballad about the passage of time and the inevitability of change. The lyrics are filled with imagery of growth and transformation, as well as a sense of loss and longing. The opening lines, "And in a moment it all come to this / The time it took for your muscles to grow and grip," suggest a sudden realization that something significant has changed, perhaps reflecting the experience of looking back on one's life and wondering where the time has gone.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on their own struggles to cope with the passing of time, singing, "You know these moments, they take years to pass / You gotta be coping, gotta be hoping the hands fly by fast." The lyrics are filled with questions about identity and purpose, as the singer wonders why they, and others, become the people they are. The chorus repeats the refrain of wanting to be older, suggesting a desire for wisdom and perspective that can only come with time.
The final verse of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer reveals that they have lost something important, but that they have also gained something in the process. "Of all the things to lose / It's you I choose," they sing, implying that even though time and experience may take things away from us, we still have the power to choose what we hold onto and what we let go of.

So Emma Watson is a lost pup, Rupert Grint is obsessed with Ed Sheeran, and Daniel Radcliffe is drunk as ever. Great acting by the way! I've seen every movie he's starred in, he is one of my favourite actors.
Erica Ritchie
