Slow Motion Lyrics

"Slow Motion" is a song by the American rock band Third Eye Blind and an instrumental edited version was featured on their second album Blue .

Song information

The song was originally released on the album Blue as an instrumental rendition, with only the chorus for lyrical accompaniment. This decision was made by record executives because the lyrics were of a violent nature, particularly because the Columbine High School Massacre happened seven months prior to the time of the album's release. The full version with lyrics was released on the international version of the album, and it made its way to America via the Internet. During the summer of 2006, the compilation album A Collection was released by the band containing the full version of "Slow Motion" — its first official release in the U.S.

This song was written as a blast against Hollywood's media promotions of drug use, violence, and thug-life particularly in inner city/inner suburban areas.

At the time of the release of Blue , the song was played rather infrequently in concert. When the unedited version of the song circulated on the Internet, the song grew popular, even outside of their fanbase. Due to its requests being shouted by fans, it is now a concert standard, being played at every show.

Versions

The demo version is very similar to the unedited studio version. Aside from Jenkins drawing breath between lines, the only other difference in the sound of the song is a lyrical change, which is goes "Slow motion in the ghetto " instead of "Slow motion see me let go ".

The first pressings of Blue has "Slow Motion" as track 11, and the lyrics to the chorus are left in as a teaser. The verses, however, remain instrumental. All future pressings of the album moved "Slow Motion" to track 13 (the final track) and also muted the vocals to the chorus to make the song a full-instrumental, yet the music has a more echoey sound to it.

Covers

Panic! at the Disco has covered this song many times during concerts.
