Meaning of the song

“Once again, this was one of those whiteboard ideas Chuck had. He was describing this idea of love at first sight. You see it in movies all the time, where you see the girl walking into the room in slow motion. We were trying to get music to match that sort of emotion and be very cinematic. Production-wise, we just wanted to make it as grandiose as possible. This is gonna sound silly, but when I hear this chorus, it just makes me want to cry. I was driving to LA for a session and I was sitting in my car with tears coming down my face, and I’m like, ‘What is wrong with me? I’m listening to my own music and I’m crying in my car!”

– Pierre Bouvier [Apple Music]-

Song lyrics

Slow, slow motion

My head is racing everywhere
It’s like I’m standing in Times Square
On the runaway train, don’t know what to do
I never know which way to steer
Someone get me out of here
I thought that there was no way out till I saw you

Oh, I never knew, never knew you could feel this way
Now I’ll never be, never be, never be the same
No, I will never be the same

My world is standin’ still
Time’s frozеn, I get chills
This feeling’s so surreal
I don’t wanna let go
Thеre’s magic in the air
I can’t breathe but I don’t care
When you walk in, I swear
It’s like everything moves in slow, slow motion
Everything moves in slow, slow motion

It’s like you’re on a movie screen
I see you walkin’ in the scene
Everybody fades away except for you
And now you’re headin’ straight for me
And all of a sudden, I can’t speak
Never in my wildest dreams could this be true

Oh, I never knew, never knew you could feel this way
(I never knew you could feel this way)
Now I’ll never be, never be, never be the same
No, I will never be the same

My world is standin’ still
Time’s frozen, I get chills
This feeling’s so surreal
I don’t wanna let go
There’s magic in the air
I can’t breathe but I don’t care
When you walk in, I swear
It’s like everything moves in slow, slow motion
Everything moves in slow, slow motion
Everything moves in slow

My world is standin’ still
Time’s frozen, I get chills
This feeling’s so surreal

There’s magic in the air
I can’t breathe but I don’t care
When you walk in, I swear
It’s like everything moves in slow

My world is standin’ still
Time’s frozen, I get chills
This feeling’s so surreal
I don’t wanna let go
There’s magic in the air
I can’t breathe but I don’t care
When you walk in, I swear
It’s like everything moves in slow, slow motion
Everything moves in slow, slow motion

It’s like everything moves in slow, slow motion
Everything moves in slow, slow motion
Everything moves in
