"Slow Down" lyrics
"Slow Down"
Slow down, slow down, slooooooow down
It's been a long time
Comin' around and smoothing out the edges and slowing down
And listening
What is important, what is your focus? Don't you go and stumble now
Are you listening?
Horsetail, horsetail we can heal it all
With plant medicine
Body, mind, and spirit crying
Slow down, slow down, slooooooow down
Making a broth for a feverish head, no I'm no stranger to loneliness
Are you struggling?
Sweeter than lavender, years in the making drink it up, it's your nature
But I'm struggling
Coping with all of it, to hell with enlightenment, clearly, I am no good at this
Who's even listening?
Take it all on, like you know what you're doing, try not to lose yourself out there
Are you listening?
Horsetail, horsetail we can heal it all
With plant medicine
Body, mind, and spirit crying
Slow down, slow down, slooooooow down
Slow down, slow down, slooooooow down

Nahko Bear wrote this song many years prior to its release being inspired by his partner at the time. Nahko told American Songwriter, "Inspiration derived from a reoccurring injury my partner at the time was working on healing. She began using the plant medicine to help her joints and bones. Everything for us at that time was about moving slow and going with the moment's flow."
