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

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 around the time of the album's release.[1] 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, a compilation album 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 supporting Hollywood's media promotions of drug use, violence, and thug-life particularly in inner city/inner suburban areas. Panic! at the Disco have covered this song many times during concerts.
