Slipping Away
Moby feat. Mylene Farmer 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 lyrics of "Slipping Away" by Moby feat. Mylene Farmer talk about the importance of holding on to the good things in life while they slip away. The song speaks to a theme of embracing both the positive and negative aspects of life and finding meaning in both. In the first verse, the lyrics touch on the idea that the things we need in life are already present, and that we should focus on finding happiness in both the good and the bad. The line "Open to everything happy and sad" highlights this concept, suggesting that it's essential to be open-minded and accepting of all of life's experiences.
The second verse takes this theme further, encouraging listeners to stay resilient despite life's hardships. The lines "Crier la vie quand tout autour se tais" roughly translate to "shout life when everything is silent," suggesting that it's important to remain vocal and optimistic even in the face of adversity. This verse also emphasizes the importance of connection, noting that people are among the things that slip away in life and that holding onto relationships is crucial.

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.
