Slippin' Away
Embracing Fragility: Love's Currency in 'Slippin' Away'
Lyrics
You don't gotta give me your money just give me your love
You don't need to give me material possessions, just offer me your love.
No you don't gotta give me your whole heart, a little's enough
No need to give your entire heart; a small amount is sufficient.
Feeling like a ghost in purgatory
Feeling disconnected and lost, as if in a state of uncertainty or limbo.
Won't you say another prayer for me
Request for support or positive thoughts, akin to a prayer.
Falling from the clouds just tell me would you break the fall
Facing a challenging situation, questioning if someone would offer assistance.
Slipping away
Expressing the feeling of slipping away or losing control.
Thought I was stitched up so why am I bleeding
Despite thinking the issues were resolved, there's still emotional pain.
Tell me I'm okay
Seeking reassurance about one's well-being.
Thought I was fixed up so why can't I feel it
Despite thinking the problems were fixed, there's a lack of emotional connection.
I'm faded away from reality, swollen from the pain and somethings gotta change
Feeling detached from reality, overwhelmed by pain, and desiring change.
Now I'm slipping away
Continuing the theme of slipping away, emphasizing the process.
I'm slipping away, ya, ya
Reiteration of the sense of slipping away, possibly emphasizing the urgency.
In a world that's driven by pain is it ever enough
Questioning if the pain in a pain-driven world is ever truly sufficient.
No you don't gotta give me your whole heart, a little's enough
Repeating the idea that a small amount of love is adequate.
Cause everyday I wake up with an upside down smile on my face, I'm struggling, yeah
Describing a daily struggle, waking up with a metaphorical upside-down smile.
Falling from the clouds just tell me would you break the fall
Repeating the imagery of falling, seeking someone to break the fall.
I'm slipping away from everything
Expressing the act of slipping away from various aspects of life.
Looked in the mirror and found myself reaching out for better days that I can't get back
Reflecting on past mistakes and yearning for better days that are now unattainable.
I've gotta move forward, help me find the meaning
Expressing the need to move forward and find meaning in life.
I'm fading away from reality
Continuing the theme of fading away from reality, suggesting a sense of detachment.
Thought I was fixed up but I wanna feel it
Despite thinking the issues were resolved, there's a desire to genuinely feel better.
Yeah I'm still afraid of making mistakes but that makes me human
Acknowledging the fear of making mistakes, emphasizing the speaker's humanity.
