Slow me down

Slow Me Down - Emmy Rossum Official Music Video
Uploaded by allcurious

It was months ago since I've heard this song, and I was instantly caught by it. Aside from Emmy Rossum's divine-like voice and excellent melody, the lyrics just amazed me -the song totally captivates me.

Here's the lyrics:

Rushing and racing and running in circles
Moving so fast I'm forgetting my purpose
Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
Getting nowhere

My head and my heart are colliding chaotic
Pace of the world I just wish I could stop it
Try to appear like I've got it together
I'm falling apart

Save me
Somebody take my hand and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
Cause I'm ready to fall

Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

Sometimes I fear that I might disappear
In the blur of fast forward I falter again
Forgetting to breathe
I need to sleep
I'm getting nowhere

All that I've missed I see in the reflection
Pass me while I wasn't paying attention
Tired of rushing, racing and running
I'm falling apart

Tell me
Oh won't you take my hand and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
Cause I'm ready to fall

Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

Just show me
I need you to slow me down
Slow me down
Slow me down

The noise of the world is getting me caught up
Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it
Just need to breathe
Somebody please
Slow me down

I can instantly relate to the song (I think almost of us do), the world is going like lightspeed and the things that I want to do just piles up until I can't figure which is which. I want to learn almost everything, have to this, have to read that, -there's too much that I feel I have to do, yet I'm so limited by space and time *sigh.

Try to appear like I've got it together
I'm falling apart...
Tired of rushing, racing and running
I'm falling apart....

Yeah, this part of the song basically explains itself. I always try to appear ok, even though things are going horribly wrong. Even though I want to scream out loud and cry, I always try to constrain myself and has so far been always successful in doing it. Afraid to be labeled as such, afraid that they might worry, afraid to look weak in front of "them".

Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down
The noise of the world is getting me caught up
Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it
Just need to breathe
Somebody please
Slow me down

So helpless from the world's cruel call... asking someone to just snap me out of this endless rythmn, before I get caught up and totally be a part of it.

(emo much? NO!)

It's nice being here again. *feel good moment hahaha :)
