Slow down
Smoove Turrell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With your head strung out on all your maybes
Low down your moment has passed
To hang around well it just seems too crazy
All you got is what you had
Salted lines to keep them fresh
Always there but nothings changed
Even your lies remain the same
That we have not seen lately
It's all a joke and such a laugh
How did it end up crazy
Shot down your record is scratched
No tune deserves to keep on playing
Broke down your dreams they have crashed
To the millions that you made this weekend
What you wear is all you own
No point talkin' bout your stately home
Always there but nothings changed
Even your lies remain the same
It's what you do, it's what you have
That we have not seen lately
It's all a joke and such a laugh
How did it end up crazy
The things you do, the thoughts you have
That we have not seen lately
It's all a joke live in the past
How did it end up crazy
To the times when you said what you would do
To the bluff aint enough to be your self now is it
To the lies that your friends have all seen through
To the times when the drugs took over you
To the bluff aint enough to be your self now is it
Slow down your moving too fast
With your head strung out on all your maybes
Low down your moment has passed
To hang around well it just seems too crazy
What you wear is all you own
No point talkin' bout your stately home
Always there but nothings changed
Even your lies remain the same
It's what you do, it's what you have
That we have not seen lately
It's all a joke and such a laugh
How did it end up crazy
The things you do, the thoughts you have
That we have not seen lately
It's all a joke live in the past
How did it end up crazy
To the times when you said what you would do
To the lies always drip all over you
To the bluff aint enough to be your self now is it
To the lies that your friends have all seen through
To the times when the drugs took over you
To the bluff aint enough to be your self now is it
The song "Slow down" by Smoove Turrell is a poignant admonishment to stop and take stock of one's life. The opening line of the song, "Slow down your moving too fast," implies that the singer is too busy with life and needs to take a break. The next two lines, "With your head strung out on all your maybes/Low down your moment has passed" suggest that the singer is too busy worrying about the unknowns in life and has missed out on the moments that have passed. The line "To hang around, well it just seems too crazy" implies that the singer needs to take time out, to slow down and just be.
The lines "All you got is what you had/Salted lines to keep them fresh" suggest that the singer has been holding onto things that are stale, old and no longer serve any purpose. The line "Even your lies remain the same" implies that the singer is not being honest with themselves and is still holding onto the same destructive thoughts and behaviors.
As the song continues, the lines "It's all a joke and such a laugh/How did it end up crazy" suggest that the singer is aware of the irony and humor in their own life, but also acknowledges that it has become a problem. The lines "To the bluff ain't enough to be yourself now is it" imply that the singer needs to be more authentic, to stop bluffing, and to embrace their true self.
Overall, "Slow down" is a powerful message that encourages the listener to re-evaluate their own life, pay attention to the present moment, and be more authentic.

One of the most underrated bands ever. Smoove and Turrell need to be recognised more. Just Brilliant.

Dude — he has a voice like Frank Sinatra. The lyrics written down sure put an added umph into the music. The story sure hits home, in a way to celebrate, not regret. I just heard this for the first time today. It was background music for a new Federer video—about his explosive thousand mph forehand winning shots. If you haven’t heard the acoustic, check it out—totally awesome.

@Huu Truong well, they wrote an actual song on the existing groove, they didn’t plagiarise everything.
