Slow Down
Eternal Yearning: TWICEYOUNG's 'Slow Down' Unveils Love's Timeless Pursuit
Lyrics
Slow down, everyone's been slowing down
Expressing a desire for everyone to slow down.
But I've been up all night, thinking of you
The singer has been staying awake, contemplating thoughts of someone special.
Hold tight, everyone's been keeping time
Encouraging to hold on or endure, acknowledging the passage of time.
But I can't see to choose, it's never too soon
Unable to make a decision, possibly in a state of confusion.
It's too late for us to fall asleep
Indicating it's too late to go to sleep.
If I help you up, will you lead me through night?
Asking if helping someone up will lead to them guiding through difficult times.
Will you take my heart? Can you promise me an afterlife?
Pondering if the person can take the singer's heart and promise an afterlife together.
Oh when we lose our time
Reflecting on the inevitability of losing time.
Slow down, I can see your slowing down
Observing someone slowing down but expressing commitment to stay by their side.
But I won't leave your side, I'm waiting for you
Reiterating loyalty and waiting for the person.
It's too late for us to fall asleep
Repeating that it's too late to fall asleep, emphasizing urgency or missed opportunities.
If I help you up, will you lead me through night?
Similar to line 9, questioning if helping will lead to guidance through the night.
Will you take my heart? Can you promise me an afterlife?
Repeating the inquiry about taking the heart and promising an afterlife.
Oh when we lose our time

If I help you up, will you lead me through night?

Will you take my heart? Can you promise me an afterlife?
Repeating the question about taking the heart and promising an afterlife.
Oh when we lose our time
Reiterating the theme of losing time.
This is for the rest of us, hoping its alright
Addressing a broader audience, expressing hopefulness, and seeking assurance.
Old enough to die, young enough to fight
Highlighting the paradox of being old enough to die but still young enough to fight.
This is all that's left of us, you can take my life
Offering one's life while acknowledging the limited control over it.
I can hear it moving on, rising with my eyes
Sensing a transition or change with heightened awareness.
This is for the rest of us, hoping its alright
Reiterating the message to a broader audience, emphasizing hope.
Old enough to die, young enough to fight

Sensing a transition or change with heightened awareness (similar to line 29).
