SLIPPING AWAY
Moby Feat. Amaral 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 Crier La Vie, performed by Moby featuring Mylene Farmer, speaks about the fleeting nature of life and encourages the listeners to hold on to the good things in their lives while they slip away. The lyrics suggest that everything that people need is already with them, in the form of love, friendship, and the ability to see the good in everything, whether happy or sad. The shadows of doubt and pain threaten to overtake them at night, but they should continue to believe in the possibility of gods and fables.
The lyrics also suggest that leaving and saying goodbye to loved ones is a painful experience, but it is also something that everyone will inevitably face. Despite this, people should still focus on making the most of their lives and cherishing the moments they have with loved ones. They should hold on to these moments tight before they slip away.
Overall, the song is a powerful message about the impermanence of life and the importance of cherishing the moments we have with the people we love.
