Slow Down
Finding Solace in Nature: Brandon Banks' Call to Slow Down
Lyrics
With freezing nights and day fires
Describing a harsh environment with extremely cold nights and fires burning during the day.
These days I don't get respite
Expressing a lack of relief or rest in current circumstances.
And I just need to recline
Feeling the need to relax and take a break from the challenges faced.
I run towards northwestern skies
Running towards the northwestern skies, possibly seeking a change or escape.
And dip my feet in creek so blue
Immersing feet in a blue creek, indicating a connection with nature.
Sapphire glow my souls hue
Describing the soul's color as a sapphire glow, suggesting a deep and vibrant inner self.
Her forests really get me to
Being captivated by forests and finding inspiration in them.
Slow down
Emphasizing the need to slow down and take a break from the fast pace of life.
Slow down
-Maybe I should live in the forest
Considering the possibility of living in a forest for a simpler and more connected lifestyle.
I got more in common with the trees
Feeling a kinship with trees, possibly indicating a desire for rootedness and stability.
Lion and the bear don't bother me
Being unbothered by predators like lions and bears, metaphorically representing life's challenges.
None of us will quarrel to be king
Highlighting a lack of competition for dominance, suggesting harmony in coexistence.
A lot of us live to be a strong man
Acknowledging the strength of individuals, possibly reflecting on personal strength.
A lot of us take more than we can eat
Noting that some take more than they need, commenting on excess in society.
This life can only lend me what I lack
Reflecting on life providing only what is lacking and considering it a form of "robbery" if more is expected.
Oh ahh its Robbery if anymore than that
Expressing a commitment to change circumstances for the better.
I promise
A promise to take action and improve the situation.
I'll do more to change these circumstances
Recalling a past state of financial struggle and restriction.
Used to be a man who was broke in bondage
Having to overcome personal obstacles and move forward.
Had to get up out my own way I lost it
Realizing the need to change one's own behavior and mindset.
Had to get up out my own way
Reiterating the importance of self-improvement and slowing down.
And slow down
Repeated emphasis on the need to slow down and take life at a more manageable pace.
Slow down
-Slow down
-Slow down
Final plea to slow down and appreciate life.
