[Verse]
Steam rising from the cup, chai in the hand
Loose linen moving while
I’m walking the sand
The sitar strings pulling on the air so light
Everything is moving at the speed of the night
No rush in the lungs, just a slow-burning heat
Bassline thumping where the spice and salt meet
Old dusty records spinning gold on the deck
Keeping all the heavy thoughts off of my neck
[Chorus]
Take it slow, let the incense burn
Take it slow, it’s a lesson to learn
Indigo skies, wide open and deep
The world’s wide awake while the rest of them sleep
Take it slow, let the incense burn
Take it slow, it’s a lesson to learn
[Verse]
Copper bells ringing in the back of the track
Once you feel the spirit, ain't no turning it back
Saffron in the morning, indigo in the dark
Floating down the river in a wooden little bark
No phone, no signal, just the hum of the vine
Everything is perfect, everything is on time
Soft tabla hitting like a heart in the chest
Leave the noisy city for a moment of rest
[Chorus]
Take it slow, let the incense burn
Take it slow, it’s a lesson to learn
Indigo skies, wide open and deep
The world’s wide awake while the rest of them sleep
Take it slow, let the incense burn
Take it slow, it’s a lesson to learn
[Verse]
Patterns on the floor made of powder and stone
Finding every answer when you’re sitting alone
The sandalwood heavy, the water is cool
Breaking every single unnecessary rule
Just a chill vibration in the center of the room
Watching every lotus start to open and bloom
Keep the rhythm steady, keep the frequency high
Looking for the truth under the Indian sky
[Chorus]
Take it slow, let the incense burn
Take it slow, it’s a lesson to learn
Indigo skies, wide open and deep
The world’s wide awake while the rest of them sleep
Take it slow, let the incense burn
Take it slow, it’s a lesson to learn
