Slip Away
Heartbreak Symphony: Unraveling the Ghost Within
Lyrics
Do you really know me?
Questioning if the listener truly understands the speaker
A ghost of the man you knew
Describing the speaker as a diminished version of their former self
Hardened and only
Characterizing the speaker as emotionally hardened and distant
Half of the heat you blew
Implying that only a fraction of the listener's love impacted the speaker
You made a mistake and tried to rip us away
Referring to a past error and attempt to separate the two
You've always blamed me
Alleging the listener consistently blames the speaker
For every wrong I wrote you a song
Expressing a response to perceived wrongs through songwriting
To try and change things
Attempting to alter the relationship through music
Slip away
Phrase suggesting a desire to escape or end the relationship
Say that you're right again
Challenge to the listener's claim of being right
I really took you in
Acknowledging acceptance and support given to the listener
And gave you everything
Highlighting the speaker's significant contributions to the relationship
You ripped my heart out with your hands
Metaphorically describing intense emotional pain caused by the listener
I'm left with nothing in the end
Conveying a sense of loss and emptiness resulting from the relationship
You'll say that you're right
Reiterating the listener's claim of being right
Can you really tell me
Questioning if the listener can honestly assess the speaker's worth
That I wasn't enough for you?
Suspecting being perceived as inadequate by the listener
That I'm still the wrong one
Feeling wrongly accused or judged by the listener
Can you remember what I went through?
Reminding the listener of the speaker's past struggles
You made a mistake and tried to rip us away
Recalling a previous mistake made by the listener
You've always blamed me
Blaming the speaker for various wrongs in the relationship
For every wrong I wrote you a song
Using songwriting as a medium to address grievances
To try and change things
Repeating the attempt to change the relationship through music
Slip away
Reiteration of the desire to slip away or end the relationship
Say that you're right again
Repeating the listener's claim of being right
I really took you in
Reflecting on the depth of acceptance and giving in the past
And gave you everything
Highlighting the speaker's extensive contributions to the relationship
You ripped my heart out with your hands
Symbolizing intense emotional pain caused by the listener
I'm left with nothing in the end
Expressing a sense of profound loss at the conclusion of the relationship
You'll say that you're right again
Anticipating the listener's repeated claim of being right
Gotta slip away, wanna slip away, slip away
Repetition of the desire to slip away, emphasizing a strong urge to end the relationship
Gotta slip away, wanna slip away, slip away
-Gotta slip away, wanna slip away, slip away
-Gotta slip away, wanna slip away, slip away
-Gotta slip away, wanna slip away, slip away
-Gotta slip away, wanna slip away, slip away
-Gotta slip away, wanna slip away, slip away
-Gotta slip away, wanna slip away
-Say that you're right again
Challenge to the listener's repeated assertion of being right
I really took you in
Recalling the extent of acceptance and support provided to the listener
And gave you everything
Emphasizing the speaker's extensive contributions to the relationship
You ripped my heart out with your hands
Metaphorically describing the profound emotional pain caused by the listener
I'm left with nothing in the end
Expressing a deep sense of loss resulting from the relationship
You'll say that you're right again
Anticipating the listener's repeated claim of being right
Say that you're right again
Reiteration of the listener's claim of being right
I really took you in
Reflecting on the depth of acceptance and giving in the past
And gave you everything
Highlighting the speaker's extensive contributions to the relationship
You ripped my heart out with your hands
Symbolizing intense emotional pain caused by the listener
I'm left with nothing in the end
Expressing a sense of profound loss at the conclusion of the relationship
You'll say that you're right again
Anticipating the listener's repeated claim of being right
Gotta slip away, wanna slip away, slip away
Final repetition of the desire to slip away, emphasizing the strong urge to end the relationship
Gotta slip away, wanna slip away,
