Slip Away
Fleeting Existence: Battling Loss and Escape in 'Slip Away'
Lyrics
Time came like a thief in the night
Time has come unexpectedly, much like a thief in the night.
Stealing everything and making nothing right
Time has taken away everything, causing no positive change.
And I would if I could even though you don't think I should
Expressing a willingness to act, even against advice, in an attempt to make things right.
And I keep running away
Continuously trying to escape from something or someone.
Follows after me every day
The consequences of one's actions persistently follow and affect daily life.
And if I go or if I stay the world keeps spinning anyway
Indecision about staying or leaving, while the world continues its usual course.
I don't matter anyway
Feeling a sense of insignificance or worthlessness.
You just watch me slip away
Observing oneself gradually fading or losing importance.
I don't matter anyway
Reiterating a sense of personal unimportance or disregard.
You just watch me slip away
Highlighting the passive observation of one's decline or disappearance.
You came like a thief in the night
Referring to someone else arriving unexpectedly, similar to a thief in the night.
Stealing everything and making nothing right
Describing the negative impact of this arrival, causing harm without rectification.
And you would if you could even though I don't think I should
Attributing a similar willingness to act, despite potential objections.
And I kept running away
The singer has been consistently avoiding or escaping from the situation.
You followed after me every day
Emphasizing that the consequences persistently follow, even daily.
And when I go because I can't stay the world keeps spinning anyway
Acknowledging the inevitability of leaving and the continuity of the world.
I don't matter anyway
Reiterating a sense of personal insignificance or irrelevance.
You just watch me slip away
Observing the gradual fading or slipping away, with a passive tone.
I don't matter anyway
Reiterating a feeling of personal unimportance or disregard.
You just watch me slip away
Emphasizing the passive observation of one's decline or disappearance.
I don't matter anyway
Continuing to express a sense of personal insignificance.
You just watch me slip away
Highlighting the passive observation of one's gradual disappearance.
I don't matter anyway
Reiterating a feeling of personal unimportance or disregard.
You just watch me slip away
Emphasizing the passive observation of one's decline or disappearance.
