Slow would be the tempo of the restless soul |
|
You have seen what a listless life can bring |
|
Wait and then you wait until he's waiting for |
|
The latency of everything |
|
Slow will be the rhythm of the hummingbird |
|
The quick speed in the shutter of his eye |
|
On flowers you will pose and you will spread the word |
|
On how the world is slowly passing by |
|
Slow entireness of your control |
|
Of the moment that is nearly standing still |
|
And wait for a minute and not a second more |
|
Unphased like a forbidden thrill |
|
Gently behind the beat |
|
We shuffle on ancient streets |
|
The reverb of time |
|
Is our vantage point |
|
We slept for a million years |
|
Lived through a million fears |
|
We are not nervous |
|
We will not ask for more |
|
If you can slow up |
|
I'm gonna slow up too |
|
Slow like the kissing of a lazy cheek |
|
Like the limit and the deadline of the rush |
|
And words, words waiting for you to speak |
|
Or getting lost in your eternal crush |
|
Slow would be the tempo of the restless mind |
|
You've seen what a listless life can bring |
|
And wait and then he waits until he's waiting for |
|
For the latency of everything |
|
Gently behind the beat |
|
We shuffle on ancient streets |
|
The reverb of time |
|
Is our vantage point |
|
We slept for a million years |
|
Lived through a million fears |
|
We are not nervous |
|
We will not ask for more |
|
Pawns of the troubled times |
|
And kings of our petty crimes |
|
The minds will function |
|
With a small delay |
|
See what the past has planned |
|
The future's a beggar's hand |
|
The more we understand |
|
The slower our days |
|
If you can slow up |
|
I'm gonna slow up too |
