“Slow Motion” is the eight song on Holy Ghost!’s self-titled 2011 album. The song centers on an ironic theme of someone moving quickly and unfocused throughout spaces, and proposing they do it again, in “slow motion.”
How do you know what I would say? I haven't said it
Maybe you do, maybe you don't – better forget it
Out of the house, into the car, back to the ocean
Do it again in slow motion
In slow motion
And even if movie stars they walk on out of work
But you still go at night, I guess you'll never learn
And you threw out all your clothes and started something new
Every time you find your place you always got to move
How do you know what I would say? I haven't said it
Maybe you do, maybe you don't – better forget it
Out of the house, into the car, back to the ocean
Would you do it again in slow motion?
In slow motion
And there's something in the world that you can't live without
But you can't make your mind up when you leave the house
And the dentist said, "Just take one when whenever you feel alone."
And I think you're gonna need it if you're not ever home
How do you know what I would say? I haven't said it
Maybe you do, maybe you don't – better forget it
Out of the house, into the car, back to the ocean
Would you do it again in slow motion?
Slow motion
Do it again in slow motion
