Slow Down Lyrics

Hold on
Keep on trying ...
Keep on trying
Slow Down
You can make it
Try and make it
It's so hard
Making promises
Breaking promises
It's alright
It's alright

Got a lot to learn
Got a ways to go
When ya gonna learn
What a way to go

Hold on
Slow down
So hard
Alright

Got a lot to learn
Got a ways to go
When ya gonna learn
What a way to go

Slow down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Slow Down lyrics by Feelies, The

This song is remarkable. I love how the music is constantly speeding up in spite of the title.

Like most songs, this must be about a relationship. Sounds like some stubborn girl wants to call it quits (probably out of arrogance and being too tired of him to even try.) Yet she forgets that we are all humans, and that we'll never learn half of what we should know.

Though "Hold on, Slow down, So hard, Alright" seems pretty darn sexual.

P.S. - Every time I hear the word promises, I think of Fugazi's "Promises"...'cause they're sh**!
