The Poetry of Rock n' Roll: "Slow Down" by Art Feynman

To observe National Poetry Month, I am sharing song lyrics that also double as poetry.

And California-based artist and musician Art Feynman (the nom de musique of one Luke Temple) has written a pretty profound sentiment into his song "Slow Down."

Slow Down
by Art Feynman

Slow down, don't crush yourself to make a diamond, yeah

Every day it's just the same sound hum'n
The old galactic common freeze
I bet you bet when your eyes were in the darkness
Before you had someone to be

Slow down, don't crush yourself to make a diamond, yeah

Everybody going (with it baby)
(Faster faster faster faster)
The universe (the universe)
(Faster faster faster faster)
Slow down, don't crush yourself to make a diamond, yeah
