Too Slow
Regret in Slow Motion: Unveiling the Emotional Journey of 'Too Slow'
Lyrics
You said, "I'll never let you go"
You promised to never let go
But you said a way too slowly
You made that promise slowly
You had another way to go
You had another option/path to take
But you never waited for me
You didn't wait for me
It was only a matter of time
It was just a matter of time
Before you regretted waiting for me
You would regret waiting for me
You said, "I'll never let you go"
Repetition of the promise not to let go
But you said it way too slow
Repetition emphasizing the slowness of the promise
Way too slow
Reiteration of the slowness in letting go
Whoa
An exclamation expressing intensity or surprise
I don't know what you're waiting for
Uncertainty about what the person is waiting for
But I bet it ain't too lonely
Speculation that it's not loneliness
It's better if and when I'm gone
Suggesting it's better for the person when the speaker is gone
I get it if you can't control me
Understanding if the person can't control the speaker
It was only a matter of time
Reiteration that waiting for the speaker leads to regret
Before you regretted waiting for me
Continuation of the theme of regret in waiting
You said, "I'll never let you go"
Repetition of the promise not to let go
But you said it way too slow
Emphasizing the slowness of the previous promise
Way too slow
Reiteration of the slowness in letting go
Whoa
An exclamation expressing intensity or surprise
I just can't live without it
The speaker can't live without something
I'll figure out the weak in me
The speaker will discover their weakness
I know you're all about it
A recognition of the person's strong interest in something
You're sick without the weekend you
The person is negatively affected without the speaker
I'm dying to see you awake
The speaker desires to see the person awake
I've only seen you sleeping
The speaker has only seen the person sleeping
In your house alone, I was dreaming, oo
The speaker dreamt while being alone in the person's house
And if I could escape
If the speaker could escape, they would do so
You'd probably find me creeping
The speaker would likely be discreet or cautious
In the darkest halls of the weekend you
The speaker would explore the darkest aspects of the person
I'm dying to breathe your way
The speaker desires to breathe the person's way
I've only breathed in pieces
The speaker has only breathed in fragments
If peace is all you know, I'd believe it too
If peace is what the person knows, the speaker would believe it
And if I could relate
If the speaker could relate, they would
The company I'm keeping
The company the speaker keeps would save a song for the person
Would save a song for the weekend you
The repetition of saving a song for the person
Weekend you
Repetition emphasizing the importance of the weekend
You said, "I'll never let you go"
Repetition of the promise not to let go
But you said a way too slowly
Repetition emphasizing the slowness of the promise
You had another way to go
Reiteration of the person's alternative path
But you never waited for me
The person didn't wait for the speaker
It was only a matter of time
It was just a matter of time before regret set in
Before you regretted waiting for me
Continuation of the theme of regret in waiting
You said, "I'll never let you go"
Repetition of the promise not to let go
But you said it way too slow
Emphasizing the slowness of the previous promise
