Lyrics
Slow it down
Encouragement to slow down and reflect
Unless we focus we won't break ground
Without focus, progress won't be made
We say we wouldn't yet but somehow
Contradiction between intentions and actions
We ended up in smoke clouds
Unexpectedly finding oneself in difficult situations
Yeah, it's about time
Recognition that it's the right moment
We trusted and ignored the road signs
Trusting and disregarding warning signs
Let's go another round for old times sake
Nostalgic suggestion for another attempt
Making the way out of this low tides
Escaping challenging circumstances
With closed eyes
Seeking a solution with closed eyes, possibly metaphorical
I would lie
Admission of potential dishonesty
If I'd say that I don't kinda like
Acknowledging a liking for certain experiences
All those games that we play
Attraction to the thrill of playing games
I'd like to play pretend, but in the end
Desire to engage in make-believe despite consequences
Feels like we are frozen in time
Feeling stuck or stagnant in time
I'm bleeding faster
Sensations of urgency and potential crisis
Feels like my lungs are out of plaster
Physical and emotional distress
I feel like I just had enough
Reaching a point of exhaustion or frustration
My thoughts are coming to a stop
Mental processes slowing down
Stuck in a deadlock
Feeling stuck and unprogressive
Not moving forward, twirling nonstop
A sense of repetitive, aimless movement
Our minds are misbehaving, constantly deviating
Mental disarray, constant deviation from the norm
Anticipating the worst outcome
Expecting the worst possible outcome
I would lie
Reiteration of potential dishonesty
If I'd say that I don't kinda like
Reaffirming the enjoyment of certain experiences
All those games that we play
Continued attraction to playful games
I'd like to play pretend, but in the end
Desire for make-believe despite consequences
Feels like we are frozen in time
Feeling trapped in a timeless state
I would lie
Repetition of potential dishonesty
If I'd say that I don't kinda like
Reiteration of liking certain experiences
All those games that we play
Continued attraction to engaging games
I'd like to play pretend, but in the end
Desire for make-believe despite consequences
Feels like we are frozen in time
Feeling stuck in a timeless state
I would lie
Reiteration of potential dishonesty
If I'd say that I don't kinda like
Reaffirming the enjoyment of certain experiences
All those games that we play
Continued attraction to playful games
I'd like to play pretend, but in the end
Desire for make-believe despite consequences
Feels like we are frozen in time
Feeling trapped in a timeless state
