Lyric discussion by Annie Rose 

Cover art for Slow Motion lyrics by Flaming Lips, The

For me, this song is about things that you want to do and achieve taking longer than your plans, and using friendship to encourage you along on the journey. it's about frustrations of our own limits, and the sense that you're not going anywhere... but don't lose touch with the folks who are near you. don't let yourself be discouraged. keep it together with others.
