Song Meaning of “Speed Of Life” by The Grip Weeds
Speed of Life is a song about the inevitability of change and the at-times overwhelming nature of living in the present. The lyrics talk of an accelerating car and a forward-moving life, ultimately conveying a message of treasuring moments as they come, even if it can feel like things are spinning out of control. The idea of being stuck in the fast lane of life is echoed in the chorus “Time is a river that never slows down”, suggesting that time and life’s events can’t be controlled. In the end, we can only accept the fast speed of life and live in the moment. Despite the feeling of being out of control, the song’s protagonists will look back fondly at their past experiences in the “speed of life”, appreciating their life’s adventures.
