The Slide
Navigating Life's Fragile Path: The Slide by Rosewood Apothecary
Lyrics
If things go on like this forever
If the current situation persists indefinitely
And all we do is frail and wrong
All our actions are fragile and incorrect
Left stranded by this earthly tether
Abandoned by the limitations of earthly existence
It's bound to break before too long
It is likely to shatter before too long
You've always found your way back home
You consistently find your way back home
You've always found your way back home
Reinforces the idea of returning to a familiar place
And you know it's true
A confirmation of the truth in finding one's way home
Magnet for the stormy weather
You attract turbulent and difficult situations
Was always hanging 'round your door
Always surrounded by challenges
Stranded on this earthly tether
Stranded in the difficulties of earthly existence
It's wet and weathered by the storm
Challenges have left their mark, worn by the storm
You've always found your way back home
Consistent theme of finding a way back home
You've always found your way back home
Reiteration of the certainty of returning home
And you know it's true
A reaffirmation of the acknowledged truth
They've been serving up hard time now
Others have been facing difficult times
And you've got too much on your plate
You have too many challenges to handle
If your eyes get any bigger than your appetite
Caution against overextending beyond capacity
You'll overflow and it's too late
Warning about potential consequences of excess
You better watch out where you fall
Be cautious where you make mistakes
Might be no footing there at all
There may be no support or solution
Skating hard atop thin ice now
Facing challenges on a precarious situation
Hear the surface start to crack
Sense the imminent danger as the surface breaks
Knowing that you shouldn't be there
Awareness of being in an undesired place
And you've stayed too long
Overstaying without the opportunity to go back
Got no time for turning back
No time remains for a retreat
You better watch out where you fall
Repetition of the warning to be cautious in mistakes
Might be no footing there at all
Emphasizing the potential absence of support
You better watch out where you fall
Warning of potential lack of support or stability
Might be no footing there at all
Final caution about the consequences of mistakes
