The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Slow Down" by the artist "Why Don't We"

In Why Don't We's song "Slow Down", the lyrical protagonist is experiencing heartbreak and longing for a past lover. He realizes he's been lying to himself trying to move on and admits he still harbors strong feelings.

Corbyn sings about missing the way his ex used to look at him and the difficulty of denying his emotions. He expresses a willingness to do anything to win her back. Daniel suggests an impromptu trip to California, hinting at a desire to escape the pain and potentially give the relationship another shot.

Zach urges to slow down and turn around, to go back to a time when things were simpler and the relationship was filled with joy. Jonah echoes Zach's sentiment, expressing a longing to see his former love, emphasizing how much he misses her.

The repeated plea to "slow down" can be interpreted as a request to time, to oneself, or to the former lover. The protagonist wants to pause time to return to the past or to halt the deterioration of the relationship in hopes of fixing things.

Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing, regret, and hope for reconciliation.

(Hey)

Oh oh, oh...

[Corbyn Besson:]

Oh, I've been lying to myself

And I might know why

I miss the way you looked at me before

You left New York (Hey)

I've been tryin' to find help

'Cause I can't deny

The way that I feel when I'm with you

Oh, I'd do anything to save ya

[Daniel Seavey:]

I think we need a little Californiacation

We took a shot at this but maybe we're too wasted

It's hard to swallow but I know we gotta chase it, oh

[Zach Herron:]

Slow down

I think that we just need to slow down, slow down (Down, down)

Turn around

Things were so simple way before now, before now

[Jonah Marais:]

See ya, I wanna see ya, ah

I wish you weren't so far so I could see ya, ah

See the light, I wanna see the

We were comfortable, we didn't understand but now we know

[Jack Avery:]

I think we need a little Californiacation

We took a shot at this but maybe we're too wasted

It's hard to swallow but I know we gotta chase it, oh

[Zach Herron (Daniel Seavey):]

Slow down

I think that we just need to slow down, slow down, down, down

Turn around

Things were so simple way before now, before now

Slow down

I think that we just need to slow down, slow down

(Need to slow down, slow down, woah)

Turn around

Things were so simple way before now, before now

(Things were so simple way before now)

Ee-yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh-ooh-oh, oh

Ee-yeah, yeah-eh

Oh-ooh-oh, oh

Ee-yeah, yeah-eh

Oh-ooh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, woah
