About This Track

‘Slow’ by Hurts is a pop track from the album ‘Surrender (Deluxe)’ (2015). The lyrics track an anxious, possessive plea for closeness, with the singer stuck between need and financial doubt. Sleep won’t come, breath feels impossible, and love is framed in violent, coercive terms, culminating in the refrain of “Slow”. The imagery is stark and transactional, mixing longing with guilt, as the speaker asks for intimacy while promising spiritual payment. The result is a darkly dramatic ball of desire, where romance reads like a hostage note.

"Slow" is a single by Hurts, from the album Surrender (Deluxe), released 8th October 2015. The track is 3:29 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Hurts.

Lyrics

Slow

I can't breathe
I can't sleep
I know I can't afford you
But all I can think
When you take off your mink
Is it's over
I just wanna love you
I just wanna hold you close
What you're doing here is murder
When you whip your body slow
Slow
Rent me your body
I'll pay with my soul
Take out my heart as an offering
'Cause when you grind your gears
It fills me with fear
And it's over
I just wanna love you
I just wanna hold you close
What you're doing here is murder
When you whip your body slow
Slow
Slow
Whip your body
Whip your body slow
Whip your body slow
I just wanna love you
I just wanna hold you close
What you're doing here is murder
When you whip your body slow
Slow
Slow
