Slipping Away
Golden Mango Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing at all, trying to be fair
Nothing to say, nothing to learn
I try to awake, I need away
I need away, falling away
What I've become, trying to run
I need to know
This is a last part
I need to see what's slipping away
Calling inside of my head, I'm
Calling and hiding myself, I'm
Calling and hiding again
Trying to make kind of a plan, I'm
Trying to hold on something
But always there is something between
I'm Suffered enough, suffered enough
The lyrics to Golden Mango's song "Slipping Away" convey a sense of hopelessness and desperation, as the singer expresses their lack of belief in salvation and their struggle to find meaning or purpose in their life. They feel empty and unable to communicate or learn anything new, as if they are stuck in a stagnant state of existence.
The repetition of the phrase "I need away" suggests a desire to escape their current state of being, as they feel themselves slipping away from something. The repetition also emphasizes their urgency and the growing desperation they feel. They acknowledge that they have become something they no longer recognize and are desperately trying to distance themselves from it.
The chorus reveals their longing to understand what is slipping away from them. It's as if something important is quietly disappearing from their life, and they are desperate to hold on to it. The sense of confusion and frustration is further heightened by their internal struggle, as represented by the conflicting lines "I'm calling and hiding myself" and "I'm trying to hold on something, but always there is something between."
