I Am Slow Lyrics

ain't no way for me to hang my head
i am dead, i am very dead

ain't no way for me to get up and go
i am slow, and i'm getting older

in the moment, in my mind
i didn't even bother to say goodbye

ain't no way for me to hang my head
i am dead, i am very dead

ain't no way for me to get up and go
i am slow, and i'm getting older

in the movement, pink high-rise
i didn't even bother to say goodbye

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.

I'm pretty sure it just repeats "In the moment, In my mind" again

I have songs about death and dying on vinyl and the insert that came with it says the lyrics are

"ain't no way for me to hang my head, i am dead, i am dead. ain't no way for me to get up and go, i am slow i am slow in the moment, pink high-rise, didn't even bother to say goodbye."

Clearly some of those are incorrect in the actual song probably due to improvisation. I just thought the "pink high-rise" part was interesting.
