Slow Down
Time's Dance: Embracing Life's Rhythm with Gabe Baker
Lyrics
Time is an argument that
Time is a recurring source of conflict in the speaker's life.
I never win
The speaker feels they never come out on top in discussions about time.
A slip of the tongue
A verbal mistake leads to a personal breakdown.
And I'm just crumbling to the ground
The impact of a spoken error results in emotional turmoil.
Circling circumstances
Various situations surround the speaker, demanding all they can offer.
Take all I have to give
The speaker constantly gives, but often ends up neglected.
Always left in the dust
They are frequently left behind in uncompleted tasks.
Of the things undone
The speaker reflects on unfinished business and its consequences.
In a minute
Within a short span, there is a desire for change.
I just hope that
The speaker expresses a wish for time to slow down.
Time will slow down
Hoping that a deceleration of time will lead to better outcomes.
All the rushin, speedin never works out
Advises against rushing and speeding, as it rarely yields positive results.
It takes more than needed
Emphasizes the importance of patience and going beyond the minimum effort.
So just
An urging to remember an essential concept.
Remember, you'll never fall behind
Assures that slowing down won't lead to falling behind.
When you slow down
Reiterates the benefits of slowing down in the grand scheme of things.
In time
Time is portrayed as lacking integrity.
Time isn't honest
It is compared to chasing an elusive and fleeting element.
It's just
Time is seen as not being truthful.
Chasing the wind
Continuing to pursue something unattainable.
Changing what you can't
Frustration with attempting to change what is beyond control.
Cursing the sun
Expressing discontent by cursing the inevitable passage of time.
Cause you're burning faster
A metaphorical description of burning out quickly due to fast-paced living.
From counting seconds
Consequences of obsessively counting every passing moment.
They will add up
A warning that the accumulation of seconds will have an impact.
So just slow down
A direct plea to slow down and avoid the negative consequences.
All the rushin, speedin never works out
Reiteration of the futility of rushing and speeding in life.
It takes more than needed
Stressing the need for more effort than the bare minimum.
So just
A reminder to internalize the importance of slowing down.
Remember, you'll never fall behind
Reassurance that slowing down won't result in falling behind.
When you slow down
Reiteration of the benefits of slowing down over time.
In time
The temporal dimension is highlighted again.
You keep running round in circles
A description of a cyclical, unproductive pattern of behavior.
Always lookin for a way out
Continual search for a way out of the repetitive cycle.
Don't let it bring sorrow
Encouragement not to let the situation cause sadness.
Beg or borrow
Advice to either ask or borrow rather than feeling desperate.
It'll fall into place
Belief that things will eventually fall into their rightful place.
Slow down
A direct repetition of the plea to slow down.
All the rushin, speedin never works out
Reiteration of the negative outcomes of rushing and speeding.
It takes more than needed
Emphasis on exceeding minimal effort for success.
So just
A repeated reminder to remember the importance of slowing down.
Remember, you'll never fall behind
Reassurance that one won't fall behind when adopting a slower pace.
When you slow down
Reiteration of the positive outcomes of slowing down over time.
In time
A concluding emphasis on the temporal aspect.
