Slow Down
Love's Marathon: Langston Bleu Urges Patience in 'Slow Down'
Lyrics
Feeling's unfamiliar
Experiencing emotions that are unfamiliar or not typical.
I don't like the way we're going
Disliking the current direction or path of the relationship.
Way we're going
Reiteration of dissatisfaction with the relationship's direction.
But I love the feeling
Despite concerns, enjoying the emotional experience.
I'm tryna find a way to slow it
Attempting to find a way to slow down the relationship's pace.
I don't know it
Uncertainty about how to slow things down.
You ain't feeling what I'm feeling
Partner not sharing the same feelings or emotions.
Baby, ain't no guarantee
There's no assurance or guarantee in the relationship.
Know this thing may be appealing
Acknowledging the attraction but indicating there's more than meets the eye.
But there's more than what you see, yeah, yeah
Emphasizing the complexity beyond surface-level appeal.
I don't wanna mess up a good thing, good thing
Desire not to ruin something good.
I'm so sick of being lonely
Feeling tired of being alone.
You might be the remedy
Seeing the potential partner as a solution to loneliness.
If we counting by the minutes
Time seems endless when counted in minutes.
It feel like infinity, yeah, yeah
Expressing the feeling of time stretching infinitely.
I don't wanna move too quickly, quickly
Desire to not rush things.
Slow down
Expressing the need to slow down the pace of the relationship.
Ayy, ayy
Repetition emphasizing the need to slow down the relationship's pace.
Ayy, ayy
-We been running and suddenly can't get away (Ayy)
-I gotta move 'fore I can't keep the pace (Ayy)
-Slow down
-Ayy, ayy
-Ayy, ayy
-Slow down
-Ayy, slow down
-We ain't gotta move too fast
Suggesting not to hurry the relationship.
We ain't gotta burn no track
No need to rush things excessively.
Like drinks, no chaser
Comparing rushing to drinking without a chaser, indicating danger.
Too quick, that's danger
-Slow down, speed racer (Ah)
-Know you tryna rush or you gon' lose your mind
Warning about rushing, it might lead to losing one's mind.
We ain't in a rush, we in the nick of time
Implying that there's still time to proceed carefully.
We been moving fast, so we should hit rewind
Suggesting a need to rewind or revisit their fast-paced actions.
Let's forget about it, baby, just tonight
Proposal to forget and enjoy the present moment.
You ain't feeling what I'm feeling
Reiteration of the complexities beyond surface attraction and the need to slow down.
Baby, ain't no guarantee
-Know this thing may be appealing
-But there's more than what you see, yeah, yeah
-I don't wanna mess up a good thing, good thing
-I'm so sick of being lonely
-You might be the remedy
-If we counting by the minutes
-It feel like infinity, yeah, yeah
-I don't wanna move too quickly, quickly
Reiteration of the desire to avoid rushing.
Slow down
Repetition emphasizing the need to slow down the relationship's pace.
Ayy, ayy
-Ayy, ayy
-We been running and suddenly can't get away (Ayy)
-I gotta move 'fore I can't keep the pace (Ayy)
-Slow down
-Ayy, ayy
-Ayy, ayy
-Slow down
-Ayy, slow down
-Not tryna make no assumptions
Not assuming things, avoiding jumping to conclusions.
Not tryna rush it
No desire to rush the relationship.
I don't wanna start no fights
Not interested in starting arguments.
I just wanna take our time
Desire to take things slowly and cautiously.
You, I don't wanna lose
Expressing the importance of the partner.
But too quickly are you moving
Concern about the partner moving too fast.
We been steady, but you steady tryna switch the lane
Partner is attempting to change the dynamics or direction of the relationship.
I ain't ready, you keep pushing, you'll push me away
Feeling unprepared for the partner's push for change.
Slow this thing down, down, down, down, down
Repetition of the need to slow down the relationship.
Gotta slow this thing down for second
-Let's slow it down
-Slow it down
Reiteration to slow down the pace of the relationship.
Slow down
