Slow Down
Wolf Mail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got to buy yourself more time
Working is getting you high
High up and down the line
No doubt everybody knows
No love will wait for you down the line
You don't need nobody no one
Move fast good time won't last
Until six feet under for another show
And show the world you took the blow
Blow to your heart you will know
You're going to break down if you don't slow down
You're going to break down if you don't slow down
You're going to break down if you don't slow down
You're going to break down if you don't slow down
SOLO
Bringing up spending all you've got
Got to buy yourself more time
Working is getting you high
High up and down on the line
No doubt everybody knows
No love will wait for you down the line woman
You're going to break down if you don't slow down
You're going to break down if you don't slow down
The lyrics of Wolf Mail's song "Slow Down" urge the listener to take a step back and re-evaluate their fast-paced life before breaking down. The opening line "Bringing up spending all you've got, got to buy yourself more time" suggests that the person is working hard and spending all their money in order to keep up with the fast-paced lifestyle they are living. The repetition of "High up and down the line" emphasizes the constant ups and downs of life, with the singer suggesting that working has become a sort of addiction that provides a temporary high.
The chorus of "You're going to break down if you don't slow down" is a warning to the listener that if they continue living their life so quickly and without pause, they will eventually reach a breaking point. The second verse reinforces this idea, with the singer emphasizing the importance of love and relationships as a counterbalance to the hectic nature of life. The lines "Move fast good time won't last, fast moving no way you will let go, until six feet under for another show" suggest that the person is living life at such a fast pace that they will only stop when they are dead and gone.
Overall, "Slow Down" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of living life at such a rapid pace without taking the time to pause and reflect. It urges the listener to slow down and appreciate the things that truly matter in life, such as love and relationships.
