Slow Motion

i think this song would go over great at a high school dance.

i love this song, its so depressing, yet beautiful.

This is one of the best song I've EVER heard. So much talent within the piece and surpirsingly only one composer. Simply amazing.

if you listen to this song, it sounds like it's a beautiful song. if sounds seductive almost, like a love song even. actually, the first time i heard it and didn't listen to the lyrics, i told my friend it was gorgeous and she had to DL it. well, she came back to me and told me i was sick; had i heard the lyrics? so i listened. i think the irony of the song is what makes it so powerful. on the surface it is so seductive, you can't stop listening to it, yet the lyrics are aobut such horrible, graphic, terrible things. but we STILL LISTEN TO IT. and love it. it's like what's going on in our lives today. there is so much violence, corruption, and awful things that are blatantly exposed to us everyday, and we become numb to it. it doesn't even shock us anymore. moreover, we are ENTICED by things like violence, drugs, and sex. this song should shock us. we should turn it on and never want to listen to it again, because the lyrics, if you take them literally as i doubt they were meant to be taken, are basically SICK. this song is one of the best, most effective displays of what's wrong with our society today. you mask anything with an alluring appeal - and we'll love it. it doesn't matter what lies beneath the surface. we like this song, and look at what it's about. gratuitious sex, violence, drugs, among other things, and someone finding these things beautiful, and WE LIKE A SONG ABOUT THIS, because it sounds good. like the lyrics say - the joke's on us.

I have always been touched by this song but have only recently understood the meaning. What Jenkins is trying to convey here is that of the slow decay of a drug addict. The casualness of his voice as he talks about the graphic content represents the thoughts of someone who has given up on suceeding in life in turn for a confusing and sad junkie life style," Now the cops will get me But girl if you would let me I'll take your pants off I got a little bit of blow we could both get off". He then goes on to explain the unescapable end to a life time of bad decisions, "And death slides close to me Won't grow old to be A junkie wine-o creep". When he says "Hollywood glamorized my wrath" he is talking about the way movies, tv shows, and popular culture glorify violence, drugs, and alcohol. The end gets me though. Slow motion see me let go. I've watched one of my once close friends slip into a horrible opiate addiction. Just like slow motion

It's sad, but it tells the truth. The best works of music and literature are written with pure honesty. This song accomplishes that nicely, as well as remaining sufficiently disturbing =)

I guess it's fair to say that it attempts to express truth, but I think analyzing the truth that Jenkins is putting forth would be a more interesting interpretation of the song. What is he saying? To tell you the truth, I'm not sure--I read he's a schizo anyway, does he know what he is saying? He's the most amazing artist I've ever encountered, but really complex. From the last verse of the song, I gather he's giving a social commentary on how children's minds are imprinted by a "californication" for lack of a better term (thanx Chili Peppers). I think Hollywood represents American culture, and the song represents how corrupt the products are of this culture.

This is a wonderful song. I didn't even know this song had lyrics until my friend played it for me. I have been a 3eb lover for a long time and I think I rate this song number 1. Great lyricship and musicship. A powerfull and very emotional song. Gotta Love it.

i listened to part of this song and was like "holy shit man, this is a good song!", yeah so i really liked it. i usually don't listen to this band, but i really like this song......because it's really good.

To me this is one of the most beautifuky written songs out there. Because its so true and honest like so very few songs really are. It reminds me alot of thursday and some of their lyrics.Completely different styles of music but lyrics that are honest and real. it shows a side of life that we rarely ever want to talk about and hardly ever see.
