The Go-Slow Lyrics

The guys have talked about this in the past, though they try not to explain their songs much... Its about abortion- a concept which makes much more sense when you see that the real lyrics (according to www.biffyclyro.com) are:

Remember when, the insects fed off all our moments Can’t deny, the structure's failed us and the go-slow Love her then but killer now, catch me I’m falling down Love her then but killer now

Decrease the movement, would you switch transition, switch transition Decrease the movement, love me ‘til I die, I don't expect more

Remember the time, we lost ourselves to being lonely Without love, we sing and dance and kill together Love her then but kill her now, catch me I’m falling down Love her then but kill her now

Decrease the movement, would you switch transition, switch transition Decrease the movement, love me ‘til I die, I don't expect more Catch me I’m falling down, catch me I’m falling down…

The lyrics talk about how the man 'Love[d] her then but killer now'- killing the result of their love: the baby. The baby is clearly an accident, 'Remember the time, we lost ourselves to being lonely'. Really you have to examine every word of Biffy's lyrics to truly understand them.
