Slowing Down the World Lyrics

I offer you someone
So you can do what you want
Only with true experience will the voice you speak be true
I offer you someone
To shape the world you like
Only with dark desires
Your nights will flame with fire

Is it for you I beg?
Is it for you I pray?
Is it for you I lay down anywhere?

Something to be said about slowing down
The world

Bathed in the light that gave you
Important shadow
You were furious and petrified
Envious of their glow
Your eyes were moist with
The love they lost
You were all dressed up
With no place to go

Is it for you I serve?
Is it for you I long?
Is it for you the hours on my own?

Something to be said about slowing down
The world

Is it for you I love?
Is it for you I hide?
Is it for you I leave someone behind?

You are horny all the time
And darling it's not a crime
Something to be said about slowing down the world

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.
