Slow Me Down
Embracing Life's Pace: 'Slow Me Down' by Wilkes and The Coles
Lyrics
Slow me down
Expressing a desire to decelerate or take things at a slower pace.
I'm tired of running 'round
Feeling exhausted from constant movement or activity.
Chasing something I can't see
Pursuing something intangible or unclear.
Missing what's right in front of me
Overlooking or not appreciating what is currently present.
Slow me down
Reiterating the desire to be slowed down.
This city never falls asleep
Describing a city that is always active, mirroring the singer's restless state.
These days that sounds a lot like me
Comparing oneself to the city's constant activity, suggesting restlessness.
These noisy streets and busy bars
Highlighting the bustling and noisy environment that contributes to inner weariness.
Are wearing holes in this ol' heart
Stating that the fast-paced lifestyle is causing emotional damage.
And tearing down this road has lost it's charm
Expressing that the journey has lost its appeal or excitement.
Slow me down
Repeating the desire to be slowed down, emphasizing the urgency.
I'm tired of running 'round
Reiterating fatigue from constant movement.
Chasing something I can't see
Chasing elusive goals or aspirations.
Missing what's right in front of me
Not recognizing or appreciating what is currently in one's life.
Slow me down
Repeating the plea to be slowed down.
Here one second gone the next
Describing the fleeting nature of time and moments.
Wish we had countdown clocks around our necks
Expressing a desire for awareness of the limited time available.
If we could see our time before it came
Reflecting on the potential impact of knowing the time remaining in life.
Maybe every minute would mean something
Speculating that increased awareness might lead to a more meaningful life.
We live our lives in such a hurry
Commenting on the fast-paced and hectic nature of modern living.
But we can't outrun our worries oh
Acknowledging that worries and concerns cannot be escaped by rushing.
Slow me down
Reiterating the need to be slowed down, emphasizing urgency.
I'm tired of running 'round
Expressing fatigue from continuous pursuit or activity.
Chasing something I can't see
Persisting in chasing elusive goals or aspirations.
Missing what's right in front of me
Emphasizing the failure to appreciate the current moment.
Slow me down
Repeating the plea to be slowed down, reinforcing the desire for change.
Slow me down
Repeating the plea to be slowed down, with a sense of realization.
I'm finally finding out
Discovering the need to slow down and savor the journey.
I'm racing toward the finish line
Realizing the importance of enjoying the process rather than just reaching the end.
When I should just enjoy the ride
Expressing the contrast between rushing towards a goal and appreciating the journey.
Slow me down
Repeating the plea to be slowed down, underlining the newfound understanding.
Slow me down
Reiterating the request to be slowed down.
Oh please
A plea for a slower pace, possibly indicating a sense of desperation.
Slow me down
Final repetition of the plea to be slowed down, possibly with a sense of urgency or sincerity.
