About This Track

'Slow' by Pale Waves is an alternative track from the album 'Smitten', released in 2024. The lyrics frame a claustrophobic kind of attachment, with the narrator fearful they lack choice and trapped by someone’s voice, repeatedly looking for reassurance. Lines such as “All I do is drown inside your voice” underline an atmosphere of being overwhelmed, while the broken-doll image suggests a person pulled apart in search of missing pieces. The song leans into that anxious, late-night uncertainty, ending on the image of connection as something like a binding thread.

"Slow" is a track by Pale Waves, from the album Smitten, released 26th September 2024. The track is 4:04 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Pale Waves.

Lyrics

Slow

Oh, I fear that I don't have a choice
All I do is drown inside your voice
The thought of you is taking over me
I wish you'd give me some kind of guarantee
And I keep sitting in the dark
Wondering where your heart is
Like a broken doll looking for its parts
You're the thread that stitched me up
With just one touch

Dreaming
Am I dreaming?
'Cause it's about time that I let you know
I've got these feelings, all they do is show
Breathing
Am I breathing?
Screaming your name as I lose control
I want you right now but if it's better, we can take it slow

Oh, you lovе to keep me waiting
And I'm worried I've been mistakеn
Am I the fool that you keep on playing?
'Cause that's what everyone keeps on saying
You stitched me up
With just one touch

Dreaming
Am I dreaming?
'Cause it's about time that I let you know
I've got these feelings, all they do is show
Breathing
Am I breathing?
Screaming your name as I lose control
I want you right now but if it's better, we can take it slow
Take it slow
Dreaming
Am I dreaming?
'Cause it's about time that I let you know
I've got these feelings, all they do is show
Breathing
Am I breathing?
Screaming your name as I lose control
I want you right now but if it's better, we can take it slow
Take it slow
Dreaming
Am I dreaming?
