Goin' Down Slow
Goin' Down Slow: Revelations of Life's Riches and Regrets
Lyrics
Man
Expressing a general reference to a person, likely himself.
You know I don't enjoy things that kings and queens will never have
Disinterest in material possessions enjoyed by royalty.
And things kings and queens can never get
Alluding to intangible experiences beyond the reach of royalty.
And they don't even know about
Reference to undisclosed aspects of life that kings and queens are unaware of.
And good times, mmmmm
Reflection on past enjoyable moments.
I have had my fun
Acknowledgment of having lived a fulfilling life.
If I never get well no more
Acceptance of potential decline in health with no expectation of recovery.
I have had my fun
Reiteration of having experienced a satisfying life.
If I never get well no more
Acceptance of the possibility of not recovering from illness.
Oh my health is fading
Expression of deteriorating health condition.
Oh yes I'm going down slow
Anticipation of a slow and gradual decline in health.
Now lookit here
Introduction to a comparison with a millionaire.
I did not say I was a millionaire
Denial of being a millionaire.
But I said I have spent more money than a millionaire
Claiming to have spent more money than an actual millionaire.
'Cause if I had kept all the money then I already had spent
Reflecting on the consequences of not saving money.
Then I would've been a millionaire a long time ago
Speculation on potential wealth if money had been saved.
And women, great googly moogly!
Expressing amazement or surprise, possibly related to women.
Please write my mother
Request to inform the mother about the speaker's condition.
Tell her the shape I'm in
Repetition of the plea to inform the mother.
Please write my mother
Reiteration of the request to inform the mother.
Tell her the shape I'm in
Repetition of the plea to inform the mother.
Tell her to pray for her son
Request for prayers for the speaker's well-being.
Forgive me for my sins
Acknowledgment of personal shortcomings and a plea for forgiveness.
