Slipping Away
Emotional Drift: The Poignant Journey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Guess it's just another dream
Expressing a realization that what follows is another dream
That's slipping away
Acknowledging the dream is gradually fading or becoming less attainable
Each time I fall asleep
Noting the theme of dreams slipping away as the speaker falls asleep
It seems, drifting away
Describing the dream as drifting away, emphasizing its elusive nature
Just as you have touched my heart
Highlighting the impact of someone touching the speaker's heart
Babe I wake and we're apart
Expressing the pain of waking up and finding separation from the significant other
Yeah and it's slipping away
Reiterating the sense of things slipping away, possibly referring to the relationship
Here comes just another day
Introducing a new day that is also gradually drifting away
That's drifting away
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of time and experiences
Every time I draw a breath
Noting the inevitability of each breath leading to the day's end
It's dying away
Describing the day as dying away, suggesting a sense of loss
First the sun and then the moon
Referring to the passage of time with the imagery of the sun and the moon
One of them will be 'round soon
Anticipating the recurrence of either the sun or the moon, symbolizing cycles
Slipping away
Repeating the theme of things slipping away, emphasizing the transient nature
Slipping away (Oh yeah)
Reinforcing the idea of slipping away with an emotional expression (Oh yeah)
Drifting away
Reiterating the concept of drifting away, emphasizing the continuous process
Slipping away
Repeating the phrase slipping away to reinforce the central theme
Just as you have touched my heart
Recalling the impact of someone touching the speaker's heart
I wake up babe and we're apart
Expressing the recurring pain of waking up and experiencing separation
It seems we're slipping away
Highlighting the ongoing sense of slipping away in the relationship
Slipping away
Repeating the phrase slipping away to emphasize its persistence
Slipping away
Reinforcing the idea of things slipping away, possibly with increased intensity
All I want is ecstasy
Expressing a desire for ecstasy but facing a lack of fulfillment
But I ain't getting much
Describing a situation where the speaker is not experiencing much ecstasy
Just getting off on misery
Indicating that the speaker finds solace or satisfaction in misery
It seems I've lost my touch
Acknowledging a loss of the speaker's ability to find joy or satisfaction
Well it's just another song
Presenting a song as another aspect of life slipping away
But it's slipping away
Indicating that the song itself is slipping away, possibly fading from memory
Well we didn't sing it long
Noting a short duration of singing the song, suggesting a brief moment
'Cause, fading away
Describing the song as fading away, emphasizing its transient nature
Just the sun and then the moon
Referring again to the cyclical nature of time with the sun and the moon
One of them will be 'round soon
Anticipating the recurrence of either the sun or the moon, mirroring earlier lines
Slipping away
Reiterating the theme of slipping away, emphasizing the continuous process
Slipping away
Repeating the phrase slipping away to reinforce the central theme
Slipping away
Concluding with a final emphasis on the persistent nature of slipping away
