Slow Down
Navigating Love's Tempo: Decoding The Deadbeat Cousins' 'Slow Down'
Lyrics
I’ll cut my losses now
I will accept my losses and move on
Your boys are heavy hitters
Your friends are influential or powerful
The phone keeps cutting out
Communication is problematic, calls keep disconnecting
Ain’t got no time for quitters
I don't have time for those who give up easily
You’re so delicate
You are fragile or sensitive
I don’t care for politics
I'm not interested in discussing politics
Don’t want hesitance
I don't want indecision or short-term solutions
Or temporary fixes
Aversion to quick fixes or temporary solutions
Yeah slow down
Advice to slow down and take things easy
Slow down
Reiteration of the need to slow down
There’s no need to worry
Assurance that there is no reason to be anxious
By this time next month you’ll be my girl
Confident prediction that the person will be in a romantic relationship by next month
Always in a hurry
Observation that the person is always in a rush
Can’t get much done under pressure
Difficulty achieving goals under pressure
Slow down
Repetition of the advice to slow down
Take my money now
Suggesting a willingness to invest financially in the relationship
Til I come to my senses
Continuing financial commitment until realizing the situation
Let me show you how
Expressing a desire to mend and strengthen the relationship
We can rebuild our fences
Working together to repair the relationship
You’re so sensitive
Describing the person as emotionally responsive
Someone has to take the blame for this
Someone must take responsibility for the current situation
Don’t come running back
Advising not to return if the intention is to quit
If you’ll just be calling it quits
Discouraging a return if the person plans to give up
Yeah slow down
Reiteration of the advice to slow down
Slow down
Repetition of the need to slow down
There’s no need to worry
Reassurance that there's no need to be anxious
By this time next month you’ll be my girl
Confident prediction that the person will be in a romantic relationship by next month (repeated)
Always in a hurry
Observation that the person is always in a rush (repeated)
Can’t get much done under pressure
Difficulty achieving goals under pressure (repeated)
Slow down
Reiteration of the advice to slow down (repeated)
There’s no need to worry
Reassurance that there's no need to be anxious (repeated)
By this time next month you’ll be my girl
Confident prediction that the person will be in a romantic relationship by next month (repeated)
Always in a hurry
Observation that the person is always in a rush (repeated)
Can’t get much done under pressure
Difficulty achieving goals under pressure (repeated)
Slow down
Final repetition of the advice to slow down (repeated)
