Crier la vie
Moby Featuring Mylene Farmer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All that we needed was right
The threshold is breaking tonight

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me
Focus on everything better today
All that I needed I never could say
Hold on to people, they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away

All that we needed tonight
Are people who love us and like
I know how it feels to mean it
Oh and we leave here, you'll see

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I needed I never could say
Hold on to people, they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away
So long
So long

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I needed I never could say
Hold on to people, they're slipping away




Hold on to people they're slipping away
Hold on to people they're slipping away

Overall Meaning

The song "Crier la vie" by Moby Featuring Mylene Farmer is an emotional and profound look at the difficulties of holding on to what is truly important in life. The lyrics acknowledge the fleeting nature of life and the constant shift between happiness and sadness. The opening lines, "All that we needed was right, The threshold is breaking tonight," suggest that despite having all the necessary tools for a happy life, the cracks are beginning to appear, and something is slipping away.


The chorus relays the message of the importance of holding on to people who love and support us, even when they are slipping away. The lines, "Seeing the sun when I can't really see, Hoping the sun will at least look at me," conjure feelings of hope in the midst of despair. The repetition of the phrase "Hold on to people, they're slipping away" emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the need to cherish relationships before they disappear.


The final lines of the song, "So long, So long," provide closure to the bittersweet reflection on what was once there and now gone. The lyrics implore listeners to focus on the good in life and to never take it for granted, to hold on to what truly matters as it inevitably slips away.
