Slow Lyrics

You accidentally mixed the magic-potion bottles up
And drank the one that slows reality down
Until now, you never noticed
The subtle interplay of colors and shapes all around you
And the underlying harmonious randomness

You never realized how much
The hideous architectural choices of the last fifty years
Have profaned and desecrated this world

In groping for the antidote, you accidentally swallow
Even more of what is slowing down time

All of the coded expressions and gestures
That used to be inscrutable are now transparent
And it's obvious what everyone is thinking and what they really mean

Hyperaware, but unable or unwilling
To express your newfound godlike knowledge
You sit atop a mountain and silently observe

You jump, you fall, continue to decelerate
Secure in knowing, at this rate, you'll never reach the ground
