Slippin'
Rescue Me from the Edge: CeCe Winans' Slippin' Unveiled
Lyrics
There you go again
Expressing recognition of a repeated behavior or pattern
Referring to a person "slipping," implying a moral or emotional decline
Doin the things you said you'd never do again
Observing a recurrence of actions that were promised to be avoided
You hear me callin your name,
Calling out to the person who is avoiding or evading
you're hiding
Choosing to hide or withdraw instead of facing the situation
But I know just where you are
Asserting knowledge of the person's location despite attempts to hide
So close but yet so far
Describing physical closeness but emotional distance
Turn around and see the miles you've come
Reflecting on the progress or journey undertaken
Do you really want to go back
Posing a question about the desire to regress and restart
Just to start again
Highlighting the challenge of starting over
Oh my friend
Expressing concern for the well-being of a friend
I can't bear to see you go out that way
Expressing unwillingness to witness a negative outcome
Don't make the mistake of letting go
Advising against repeating a past error
Hold on to me your slippin
Encouraging the person to hold on despite challenges
Pretending everything is okay
Highlighting a facade of normalcy or contentment
In the front of the crowd-your smilin
Describing a public display of happiness that may be deceptive
But after everyone's gone, you're all along
Revealing a sense of loneliness or isolation when alone
You're not fine-you're slippin
Challenging the pretense of being fine and acknowledging the decline
Take off the mask with me
Inviting openness and vulnerability by removing a metaphorical mask
I see your heart, it's hurting
Perceiving emotional pain or distress in the person
If you want to stay with me, I need honesty
Emphasizing the importance of honesty for a meaningful connection
Don't play with me, You're slippin
Warning against playing with emotions and continuing the decline
Can't make it on your own, stop tryin
Advising against persisting in self-reliance without seeking help
I've got the power to keep you from fallin
Asserting the ability to provide support and prevent further decline
If I could just have the chance to show you
Expressing a desire for the opportunity to demonstrate true happiness
What real happiness is like
Describing the potential for overcoming challenges together
Together we'll win the fight
Conveying unity and collaboration to overcome difficulties
