Slow
Embracing the Beauty of Slowness in Depeche Mode's 'Slow'
Lyrics
Slow, slow
Expressing a desire for a slow pace or rhythm
As slow as you can go
Encouraging an extremely slow movement or progression
So I can feel all I want to know
Wanting to experience and understand everything at a leisurely pace
Slow, slow
Reiteration of the desire for a slow pace
I go with your flow
Choosing to go along with the flow or rhythm determined by someone else
Let the world keep its carnival pace
Preferring a slower, more relaxed pace compared to the world's fast and chaotic pace
I'd prefer to look into your beautiful face
Expressing a preference to gaze at a loved one's beautiful face instead of participating in the world's activities
What a waste
Commenting on the perceived wastefulness of the world's carnival-like pace
And the stars continue to fly by
Observing the passing of time or opportunities represented by flying stars
I don't have one desire to understand why
Having no desire to understand the reasons behind certain things
I don't try
Choosing not to make an effort to comprehend certain aspects
Slow, slow
Reiteration of the desire for a slow pace
As slow as you can go
Emphasizing the preference for an extremely slow pace
I want my senses to overflow
Desiring an abundance of sensory experiences at a leisurely pace
Slow, slow
Reiteration of the desire for a slow pace
And doesn't it show?
Noting that the preference for a slow pace is evident
I don't need a race in my bed
Rejecting the need for a hurried or competitive atmosphere in intimate relationships
When speed's in my heart and speed's in my head
Highlighting the presence of speed in emotions and thoughts
Instead
Choosing a slower pace over a fast one
It's tempting for fools to rush in
Commenting on the temptation for impulsive actions, suggesting the importance of savoring something good
When something's so good why should we rush and fail?
Questioning the need to rush and risk failure when experiencing something enjoyable
It's the same
Noting the similarity in outcomes when rushing
Slow, slow
Reiteration of the desire for a slow pace
Slow as you can go
Emphasizing the preference for an extremely slow pace
That's how I like it
Expressing contentment with the current pace
I like it
Reiteration of contentment with the current pace
I don't need a race in my bed
Rejecting the need for a hurried or competitive atmosphere in intimate relationships (repeated)
When speed's in my heart and speed's in my head
Highlighting the presence of speed in emotions and thoughts (repeated)
Instead
Choosing a slower pace over a fast one (repeated)
Slow, slow
Reiteration of the desire for a slow pace (repeated)
As slow as you can go
Emphasizing the preference for an extremely slow pace (repeated)
That's how I like it
Expressing contentment with the current pace (repeated)
I like it
Reiteration of contentment with the current pace (repeated)
That's how I like it
Reiteration of personal satisfaction with the current pace
That's how I like it
Final affirmation of personal satisfaction with the current pace
