Andrea
The Red And The Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't stop, Am I thinking this through?
I've been searching hard for something
Trying to find that someone
Something to believe in, believe in
I never did come close, I never did find love,
so many hello's, but none of them stay long.
Look at all these strangers,
Blurry faces, anxious
Will you find me in the crowd?
Slow it Down
Slow it Down
Slow it Down
Slow it Down
Looking for the same things,
I know this may seem strange,
I wanna know your name, I wanna know your name,
Perfect time and right place,
I think this might be fate,
Hoping that you're for me, show them that you're for me
For me
For me
For me
Show them that you're for me
I never did come close, I never did find love,
so many hello's, but none of them stay long.
Look at all these strangers,
Moving fast, their nameless,
Blurry faces, anxious
Will you find me in the crowd?
Slow it Down
Slow it Down
Slow It Down
Slow it Down
The lyrics in The Red And The Black's song Andrea speak of the search for love and connection in a fast-paced, crowded world. The singer laments their inability to stop thinking about someone, questioning whether they are thinking everything through properly. They express a desire for something to believe in and for love, but have never come close to finding it. They observe the many strangers around them, all moving quickly and nameless, with blurry faces and a sense of anxiety. The singer hopes that they will be able to slow things down and find the right person in the perfect time and place, someone who will be "for me."
The song captures the feelings of loneliness and isolation that can come from living in a bustling urban environment. The singer is surrounded by people, but still feels disconnected and alone. The repetition of the phrase "Slow it Down" throughout the song suggests a desire to break free from the frenetic pace of modern life and find a deeper sense of meaning and connection.
