Slide Away
Finding Light in Silence
Lyrics
Don't want to pick up the phone
Expressing a reluctance to answer calls
Don't wanna talk to no one tonight
Desire to avoid conversation with anyone
Put on a pair of headphones
Choosing to immerse oneself in music
Just want to sit and zone out cause I
Preferring solitude and detachment
Don't wanna hear that everything will be alright
Rejecting reassurances about the future
Don't want to know that everything will turn out fine
Avoiding information about positive outcomes
I'm not asking for answers I'm not searching for signs
Not seeking solutions or signs
I'm ok here in the dark until I see the light
Comfortable in darkness until finding clarity
Can't fall asleep can't stay awake baby
Struggling with sleep and wakefulness
Don't wanna run don't wanna keep faking
Rejecting a facade, unwilling to pretend
Everything is pretty till it starts to rust and
Beauty fades as things deteriorate
Everything is solid till it turns to dust then we
Stability turns fragile, leading to decay
Slide away slide slide away baby
Expressing a desire to move away from problems
Slide away slide slide away baby
Repetition emphasizing the urge to slide away
Slide away slide slide away baby
Continuation of the desire to escape
Slide away slide slide away
Final emphasis on the theme of sliding away
I'm getting high in my room
Seeking a mental escape through intoxication
I'm looking out at the universe
Contemplating existence and the cosmos
I'm flying over the moon
Imagining a journey beyond earthly constraints
I'll ride a comet to jupiter
Symbolic travel towards distant planets
Don't wanna hear that everything will be alight
Reiteration of aversion to optimistic assurances
Don't want to know that everything will turn out fine
Reinforcing resistance to positive predictions
I'll look for time and space outside of space and time
Seeking understanding outside conventional limits
I'll get to know the dark until I find the light
Exploring the unknown until finding enlightenment
Can't fall asleep can't stay awake baby
Continued struggle with sleep and wakefulness
Don't wanna run don't wanna keep faking
Rejecting the act of pretending or running away
Everything is pretty till it starts to rust and
Acknowledging the transience of beauty
Everything is solid till it turns to dust then we
Highlighting the fragility of stability
Slide away slide slide away baby
Repetition emphasizing the desire to escape
Slide away slide slide away baby
Continuation of the repeated urge to slide away
Slide away slide slide away baby
Reinforcing the theme of escaping
Slide away slide slide away
Final repetition of the desire to slide away
Oooh well I wanna find forever yes I do yes I do yes I do
Expressing a longing for enduring connections
Ooh well I wanna find forever
Reiteration of the desire for lasting relationships
Don't wanna hear that everything will be alright alright alright
Resisting assurances about a positive future
Can't fall asleep can't stay awake baby
Struggle with sleep and wakefulness persists
Don't wanna run don't wanna keep faking
Refusing to engage in pretense or escapism
Everything is pretty till it starts to rust and
Acknowledging the transient nature of beauty
Everything is solid till it turns to dust then we
Recognizing the eventual decay of stability
Slide away slide slide away baby
Repetition of the desire to slide away
Slide away slide slide away baby
Continued emphasis on the urge to escape
Slide away slide slide away baby
Reiteration of the longing to slide away
Slide away slide slide away
Final repetition of the theme of sliding away
