Slow
Up&Go Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Slow" by the Japanese band Up&Go. The song revolves around the theme of slowing down and being cautious in life, as represented by the repeated emphasis on "SLOW DOWN Burning Down!" throughout the lyrics.

The opening lines, "光が繰り出す Show Window 映る" (Light shines through the show window), create an image of a world reflected in a display window, where the singer encounters a mysterious woman who starts a conversation. The next line, "必ず一緒に いるようになる" (We will surely come to be together), suggests that the relationship between the singer and this woman intensifies and becomes inseparable.

However, the following lines, "それまで知らず 分からず" (Until then, I didn't know, I didn't understand), imply that the singer was oblivious to certain aspects of life or the consequences of their actions. The repetition of "SLOW DOWN Burning Down!" serves as a warning for the singer to take a step back and be cautious, as they are beginning to face the consequences of their actions.

The lyrics also touch upon themes of deception, as seen in the lines "いつもの調子で 得意の二枚舌" (With the usual tone, a skillful double tongue). This suggests that the singer may have been using manipulative tactics or misleading others. However, they are told, "誰も聞きゃしねえ 信じちゃくれねえ" (No one will listen, no one will believe), indicating that their tactics are futile and will not be effective in the long run.

The lines "はぐらかされた したたかな悪魔 みだらな目付き つき刺す" (Evaded by sly demons, piercing with a lascivious glance) imply that the singer may have been entangled with manipulative and cunning individuals who aim to exploit them. The repeated phrase "火がついたハートは消え" (The heart that was set on fire disappears) suggests that the desires and emotions the singer had ignited are ultimately extinguished.

Overall, the lyrics of "Slow" by Up&Go convey a cautionary message about the consequences of one's actions and the importance of being mindful and slowing down in life to avoid these pitfalls.
