Slow
Journey of Reflection: Sofie Winterson's 'Slow' Unveiled
Lyrics
I left places
I departed from locations
I didn't even know
Unfamiliar places
I was leaving them
Without realizing I was leaving them
I left faces
I abandoned people/faces
the longer you stare at them
The more you gaze at them
the prettier
The more beautiful they become
It will take some things a while to hit you
Some realizations take time to impact you
until it does you cling onto forgiveness
Until then, you hold onto the idea of forgiveness
I think things to an end
I contemplate the conclusion of things
I don't want to but I do
Reluctantly, I engage in this contemplation
I guess we are just slow
Perhaps, we are inherently slow beings
moving creatures
Creatures that move at a gradual pace
scared of new
Fearful of the new
We leave traces
We leave behind evidence
of ongoing talks
Of ongoing conversations
that seem wrong
That appear incorrect or misguided
And it saves us
And it benefits us
often to walk away
Often to step away or comply with it
or go along with it
Some realizations take time to affect me
It will take some things a while to hit me,
Until then, I remain and contemplate
until it does I linger on and sit here
I think things to an end
I think things to an end
I don't want to, but I do
I don't want to but I do
Perhaps, we are inherently slow beings
I guess we are just slow
Needing safety and security
needing safety
How about you?
how about you
I contemplate the conclusion of things
I think things to an end
I don't want to, but I do
I don't want to but I do
Perhaps, we are inherently slow beings
I guess we are just slow
Creatures that move at a gradual pace
moving creatures
Fearful of the new
scared of new
We leave behind evidence
