SLIPPING AWAY
Empty Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As all strength seems to be gone
Let's simply spare the effort
We both know it would be wrong
Look at where you stand now
Your fall was faster than your rise
Will you ever notice what you've lost
Will you ever realise…
Good luck with your new life
Hope you'll make the best of it
I will go on with mine
That's what I've always done
I thought you'd never change
But I saw you changing so fast
I can't believe where we are now
When I am looking back
Silence fills the gap between us
There are no words left to say
A few years ago I never thought
We would end up this way
Just go your own way
But please never come back
Spare me your apologies
About the things you regret
Just go your own way
But please never come back
Spare me your apologies
About the things you regret
The lyrics of the song Slipping Away by Empty Vision convey a sense of resignation and finality in a relationship that has reached its end. The opening line, "Letting your hands slip away," serves as both a physical reference to the loss of touch and a metaphor for the emotional distance between two people who were once close. The singer acknowledges that all strength seems to be gone, and that it would be best to spare the effort of trying to save the relationship, as they both know it would be wrong.
The rest of the lyrics paint a picture of two people who have grown apart and are no longer able to communicate effectively. The singer looks back on the past and notes that the other person's fall was faster than their rise, suggesting that they were unable to sustain the success they once had. The singer wonders if the other person will ever realize what they have lost, expressing a sense of regret at the way things have turned out.
The final lines of the song make it clear that it's time for both of them to move on. The singer refuses to accept apologies, and asks the other person to go their own way and never come back. The lyrics suggest that the relationship is beyond repair, and that it's time for both parties to accept that and move on.
