Slipping Away
Diana Lyrics

Here comes the light
After waiting for so long, something positive is finally happening

That I've desired
It's something she's been hoping for or longing for

Drowning the dark
The good thing is pushing away the negative, darker aspects of life

Why do I feel so terrified?
Despite this positive development, she's still scared of what's going to happen next

Sick of this skin
She's tired of being herself or living her life the way she has been

Of choking on pride
She's been too proud to change or ask for help when she needs it, and it's suffocating her

Lost in the pressure of the moment
She's so caught up in the stress and demands of her current situation that she's losing sight of everything else

So much pleasure that's been stolen
The hardship and negativity of her life have taken away anything good that she used to enjoy

Everything I know is slipping away from me
Her life is changing, and she feels like she can't hold on to anything she used to rely on

No more resistance I can do without
She's tired of fighting against the changes and is ready to let them happen

Let it go
She's finally willing to release her grip on the past and move on

Start again
She's ready to begin a new chapter in her life

Have I ever felt this pain?
This is something so difficult and painful that she's not sure she's experienced it before

Here comes the light searching for me
The thing she's been waiting for is getting closer and closer

Drowning out the darkness that I live inside
Her life has been so dark and difficult, but this new opportunity is bringing light and hope

Why do I try to hide?
She's still scared of what might happen if she puts herself out there and takes a chance

Will I let it break me open?
She's not sure if she can handle the vulnerability and risk that comes with taking a chance

There's a violence to this growing
While it might seem positive, the changes happening in her life are still difficult and causing upheaval

Love tear me apart, tear me apart, tear me apart
She wants to experience love, even if it means facing some of the painful parts of it

Slipping away
The things she's known and relied on are disappearing

I can let it go, let it go, let it go
She's reminding herself that she has the power to release the things that are holding her back
