Slide Away
ÉñÔÏ£¨The Verve£© Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So take your time
I wonder if you're here just to use my mind
Don't take it slow
You know I've got a place to go
You always do that
Something I'm not quite sure of
But just for today
Let go and slide away

I was thinking maybe we could go outside
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride
Don't you feel alive
These are your times and our highs

So take your time
I wonder which cup you'll drink from
I hope it's mine
Because you always do that something
Something I'm not quite sure of
But just for today
Let go and slide away

'Cause I read your mind
I read it because it takes me where I can't find
Because you always do that something
Something I'm not quite sure of
But just for today
Let go and burn away

I was thinking maybe we could go outside
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride
Don't you feel alive
These are your times, these are your highs

Slide away, burn away
Slide away, burn away
I read your mind
I read your mind
'Cause it takes me to where I can't find

I was thinking maybe we could go outside
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride
Don't you feel alive
These are your times and our highs

Maybe, maybe we could go outside
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride




Open up you feel alive
These are your times and my highs

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Slide Away" by The Verve express a combination of desire for connection and resignation to a lack of understanding. The repeated line "something I'm not quite sure of" emphasizes the singer's confusion and vulnerability in the face of their partner's behavior. Despite this uncertainty, the singer still offers a place of refuge, urging the other person to let go and "slide away." The lyrics also evoke a sense of urgency and fleetingness with lines like "just for today" and "these are your times and our highs," further emphasizing the importance of connection in the present moment.


The chorus of the song shifts slightly in the final repetition, changing "slide away, burn away" to simply "slide away." This could be interpreted as a resignation to the impermanence of the experience, or a recognition that letting go is necessary for both parties to move forward.


Line by Line Meaning

So take your time
Don't rush, there's no need to hurry


I wonder if you're here just to use my mind
I question whether you're only interested in my thoughts or ideas


Don't take it slow
Don't be too cautious or hesitant


You know I've got a place to go
I have things to do and places to be


You always do that
You consistently behave a certain way


Something I'm not quite sure of
I don't fully understand your behavior


But just for today
At least for today


Let go and slide away
Relax and forget the worries, let's escape for a while


I was thinking maybe we could go outside
I was considering stepping out of our comfort zone


Let the night sky cool your foolish pride
Nature has a way of humbling us and putting us in our place


Don't you feel alive
Doesn't it feel invigorating


These are your times and our highs
These moments belong to us and they are the best times


I wonder which cup you'll drink from, I hope it's mine
I'm curious which choice you'll make, I hope you pick me


Because you always do that something
You consistently behave a certain way


I'm not quite sure of
I'm not completely certain of what that behavior means for us


Let go and slide away
Relax and forget the worries, let's escape for a while


'Cause I read your mind
Because I can intuit your thoughts or feelings


I read it because it takes me where I can't find
I can read your mind because you know things I don't


Let go and burn away
Let's release all our worries and experience something new


Slide away, burn away
Let's escape from everything and try something new


Maybe, maybe we could go outside
Possibly, we could try something new and leave our comfort zone


Open up and feel alive
Be vulnerable and experience the moment to the fullest


These are your times and my highs
These moments belong to us and they are the best times

C'est l' été et il a chaud votre PC il faut le nettoyer délicatement avec une bombe air comprimé et remettre un peu de pâte thermique et vous verrez la différence. Maintenant il faut aussi voir comment les jeux et les programmes que vous utilisez ils ont été optimiser et à mon avis ils ont du sauté l'étape de l'optimisation pour PC LoL
