Slow Lyrics - Poor Old Lu

This song is probably one of the 'filler' tracks on 'Sin'. It wasn't a single. It wasn't much of a concert hit. In fact, this song was rarely mentioned at all. Why is that? Who knows. Maybe it's just not that good. It was one of the rare mellow tracks on 'Sin'. Slightly dreamy and somewhat playful. Aaron came up with some good background vocals, and Nick's bass line quite nice. I suppose 'Slow' just helped round out the album. We'll leave it at that. 

This song is very much written with 'emotions' in mind - literally. Some lines refer to colors. Some lines refer to common feelings that we have. Other lines note environmental shifts - weather and such. I'm not sure if this song is really clever or just very silly. No matter, because the chorus holds the song together nicely: things get crazy, Lord, so please slow us down. That's still true. 

green i've seen 

as jealous as anything 

blue it's true 

weep to sleep over you 

i feel - and i kill 

the sea in me 

toss me up, around indeed 

i will - be still 

it's all chasing, racing 

often crazy 

does it show? 

but i've been praying lately 

and Christ will slow me, free 

i know 

red i'm dead 

"grief has got me" so i've said 

clear to hear 

however gone i could be near 

i will - be filled 

it's all chasing, racing 

often crazy 

does it show? 

(grab me, that i might be awake) 

but i've been praying lately 

and Christ will slow me, free 

i know 

(slow me, as i am running way to fast) 

the wind in sin 

on my hands instead again 

instill - Your will 

it's all chasing, racing 

often crazy 

does it show? 

(grab me, that i might be awake) 

but i've been praying lately 

and Christ will slow me, free 

i know 

(slow me, as i am running way to fast)
