Apocalyptica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're always somewhere else
Feelings have deserted me
To a point of no return
I don't believe in Gods
But I pray for you
Don't you slip away from me
Don't you leave no
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love
Don't let them get you
Stay away from the sun
It's too bright for you
Your eyes getting blurry
Still I'm crying your name
I don't believe in God
But I pray for you
Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live for
Don't you leave no
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love
There is something in the way
You're always somewhere else
Feelings have deserted me
To a point of no return
So the light fades out at you
So close to lose it
Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live for
Don't you leave no
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love
Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live my life for
No don't leave
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love
Don't you slip away
These lyrics are about the fear of losing someone you love, and the desperation to hold onto them. The singer feels like their emotions have deserted them, reaching a point of no return without their love. Despite not believing in God, the singer prays for their love to stay with them and not slip away. They feel vulnerable to their love, as it has become the focal point of their existence. The imagery of the sun being too bright for their love and their eyes getting blurry suggests that the love may be too intense and overwhelming.
The repetition of the phrase "Don't you slip away from me" reinforces the singer's fear of losing their love, emphasizing how important they are to their existence. The lines "So the light fades out at you, so close to lose it" reflect the fragility of their relationship and how easily it could come to an end.
Overall, the lyrics convey the message that even if things seem bleak and hopeless, love is still worth fighting for and holding onto.

There’s something in the way you always somewhere else
Feelings have deserted me to a point of no return
I don’t believe in God but I pray for you
Don’t you slip away from me, it’s you I live for don’t you leave
Don’t you slip away from me, I’m vulnerable to your love
Don’t let them get you, stay away from the sun
It’s too bright for you
Your eyes getting blurry — stay, I’m crying your name
I don’t believe in God but I pray for you
Don’t you slip away from me, it’s you I live for don’t you leave
No, don’t you slip away from me, I’m vulnerable to your love
There is something in the way you’re always somewhere else
Feelings have deserted me to a point of no return
So the light fades out and you’re so close to losing
Don’t you slip away from me, it’s you I live for don’t you leave
No, don’t you slip away from me, I’m vulnerable to your love
Don’t you slip away from me It’s you I live my life for
No don’t leave
Don’t you slip away from me, I’m vulnerable to your love
Don’t you slip away
