- Karma Man Lyrics / with translationsFingertip sun at sideshow stalls, they throw the balls
At coconut fur that hides behind coloured shades that blind your eyes
Every child's mother holds an ice-cream cone, they circle round
Perceived unknown by an eye that peers from a hole in the tent where no one goes
A figure sitting cross-legged on the floor he's clogged and clothed in saffron robes
His beads are all he owns
Slow down, slow down
Someone must have said that slow him down
Slow down, slow down
It's pictured on the arms of the Karma Man
Fairy tale skin, depicting scenes from human zoos
Impermanent toys like peace and war a gentle face you've seen before
Karma Man tattooed on your side, the wheel of life
I see my times and who I've been I only live now and I don't know why
I struggle hard to take these pictures in, but
All my friends can see is just the pinkness of his skin
Slow down, slow down
Someone must have said that slowed him down
Slow down, slow down
It's pictured on the arms of the Karma Man
Slow down, slow down
Someone must have said that slowed him down
Slow down, slow down
It's pictured on the arms of the Karma Man
At coconut fur that hides behind coloured shades that blind your eyes
Every child's mother holds an ice-cream cone, they circle round
Perceived unknown by an eye that peers from a hole in the tent where no one goes
A figure sitting cross-legged on the floor he's clogged and clothed in saffron robes
His beads are all he owns
Slow down, slow down
Someone must have said that slow him down
Slow down, slow down
It's pictured on the arms of the Karma Man
Fairy tale skin, depicting scenes from human zoos
Impermanent toys like peace and war a gentle face you've seen before
I see my times and who I've been I only live now and I don't know why
I struggle hard to take these pictures in, but
All my friends can see is just the pinkness of his skin
Slow down, slow down
Someone must have said that slowed him down
Slow down, slow down
It's pictured on the arms of the Karma Man
Slow down, slow down
Someone must have said that slowed him down
Slow down, slow down
It's pictured on the arms of the Karma Man

When we examine its symbolic meaning, David Bowie's song "Karma Man" is a dreamlike, metaphorical journey to the end of the world by means of karma and the process of reincarnation. The text is a display of a carnival wherein the least imparted, most of the characters in the solo show, are hints and signs of; so, the Elephant Man, the 'Karma man' tattooed on the side, and many others. Major emphasis lies on the slowest 'Slow down', which is a ringtone of the main character that calls for, in general, introspection and, in particular, a reminder always to pause before reflecting on one’s deeds and their repercussions, thus the ground of 'slow down' to hit a deeper understanding of human life's intricacies. Seriously, for example, the song's main themes are mixed together and reflected back through the lenses of nostalgia and peace the way they were reflected upon before. As it goes, the song's narrative emphasizes the importance of reflection and self-awareness, the passage of time, and societal observance. The words used in the lyrics contain some adult themes and images which might not be easy for little kids to understand, like human zoos and existential thinking. On the other hand, it cannot be said that there is strong language, violence, or scenes of an explicit nature that would necessitate the song's being rated as more than suitable for kids.
