Slowing Down Lyrics by David Dilin

Vice Versifier

2013

[Verse 1: David Dilin]
Death is always 'bout a mile away
The catch is that you never know how fast you're running today
Most people take it slow just to read through the pain
They don't want to talk the pelts from a stormy life's rain
Who can blame them? Playing life safely
While others see them as precious time wasting
Since there's no escaping what is known as imminent
Why waste your time living life all innocent?
Two lives to live, two ways to go
Go make your choice. You can't live them both
You either live long and a fun life avoided
Or you run the fun race and run fast devoted
To the living life now, to the carpe diem slogan
Running without vision so you keep your eyes closed and
Soon as the moon calls for life's good night
Your choice has been made and there's no time for slowing down
[Hook]
Down. We're going down
Doesn't matter what choice you made
Either way, there's no time for slowing
Down. We're going down
Every moment that I run the race
One could say there's no sign of slowing
Down. We're going down
Doesn't matter what choice you made
Either way, there's no time for slowing
Down. We're going down
Every moment that I run the race
One could say there's no sign of slowing down
[Verse 2: Coloso]
Uh
Tell me your opinion
What is life without livin'?
But is it truly fullfillin'
When you're gone before the average age limit?
Will it be the fast lane or the slow road?
He chose to speed in his four door Volvo
Will it be one Kodak moment or compilation of photos?
His famous last words: YOLO
Maaan, what's a good time compared to a good life?
Does everything good come with a high price?
Drugs, drugs, lust, lust, going all out
But going all in also overcomes doubt
The attitude of your choosin'
Can lead to winnin' or losin'
Sayin' f*** it can bring problems or solutions
If life is a scale, bring balance to your lives
Yet whatever we decide seems to tip the other side down
[Hook]
Down. We're going down
Doesn't matter what choice you made
Either way, there's no time for slowing
Down. We're going down
Every moment that I run the race
One could say there's no sign of slowing
Down. We're going down
Doesn't matter what choice you made
Either way, there's no time for slowing
Down. We're going down
Every moment that I run the race
One could say there's no sign of slowing down
[Verse 3: David Dilin]
Every second you get closer to your time
Apply the lessons that you pick up in life
Time is money. What can you afford?
You spend it all now, and you watch them cut the chord
On your life. What does death taste like?
Depends on your diet. Were you eating light?
Were you always doing what you knew to be right?
Were you passing up temptations that were creeping up at night?
Did you turn the other cheek when your body said to fight?
Did the interminable destroy the physical delight?
It's difficult not to be cynical, am I right?
I'm debating the very use of this rhetoric as I write
And tonight is the night for change in the body
There's no more "sippin' Bacardi"
For these drunkards that know it's not good for their bodies
A Godly soul is about to explode out through the old body
The mold is finished as it diminishes, disregarding the ups and downs
[Hook]
Down. We're going down
Doesn't matter what choice you made
Either way, there's no time for slowing
Down. We're going down
Every moment that I run the race
One could say there's no sign of slowing
Down. We're going down
Doesn't matter what choice you made
Either way, there's no time for slowing
Down. We're going down
Every moment that I run the race
One could say there's no sign of slowing down...
Down...
Down...
Down...
