SLIPPING AWAY
Farmer Mylene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All that we needed was right
Les ombres ce soir nous menacent
Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good, même si tout va si mal
Voir le soleil quand la nuit nous accable
Oh, pour un jour croire aux dieux, croire aux fables
Crier la vie quand tout autour se tait
Hold on to people that slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away
All that we needed tonight
Are people who love us and like
Je sais les douleurs et les doutes
Oh, partir est ce qu'on redoute
Aussi
Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good, même si tout va si mal
Voir le soleil quand la nuit nous accable
Oh, pour un jour croire aux dieux, croire aux fables
Focus on everything better today
Crier la vie quand tout autour se tait
Hold on to people that slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away
So long
Mais l'ombre
Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good, même si tout va si mal
Voir le soleil quand la nuit nous accable
Oh, pour un jour croire aux dieux, croire aux fables
Focus on everything better today
Crier la vie quand tout autour se tait
Hold on to people that slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away
The song "Slipping Away" by Farmer Mylene talks about holding on to the things that matter to us the most, even when it seems like they are slipping away. The opening lines of the song reiterate the fact that all they needed to be happy and content was already present with them. However, the encroaching darkness threatens to take away the happiness they have been fighting for. The lyrics depict the struggles and pains of life, which often make it challenging to stay hopeful and positive.
The chorus asks the listener to remain open to everything that life has to offer, both happy and sad. Despite the challenges, they need to focus on the good things in life, and at times even in moments of hopelessness, try to see the light. The verse "Hold on to people that slipping away" is a poignant reminder that relationships and connections in life are fleeting, and it is crucial to nurture and treasure them while we still have them.
The song also talks about the pain of leaving someone or something behind, which is a universal experience. The lines, "Oh, partir est ce qu'on redoute" (Oh, to leave is what we dread), are a testament to this fact. The chorus of the song, with its optimistic lyrics, acts as a reminder to cherish the things that are dear to us, regardless of how fleeting they might be.

Love it! Je connais pas cette chanson mais en venant de Mylène il n'y a pas d'excuse de ne pas l'aimer !
@mvdmbe
Splendide. C'est de la thérapie par mélodie et paroles. ! Mylène est qq part dans mon coeur (Moby l'est aussi). J'ai donc non seulement écoutér les paroles de la chanson,, mais j'en ai fait une version entièrement en français. Si jamais Mylène souhaite chanter cette version parce qu"elle peut procurer le bonheur à beaucoup de personnes, je la lui cèdera sans aucune obligation. Je préfère comme elle (voir) les gens heureux.
