SLIPPING AWAY
Moby feat Amaral Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The fresh hold 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
All that I need and I never could say
Hold on 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
I know how it feels to meant
Oh and we leave here, the seas
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 need and I never could say
Hold on people that 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 need and I never could say
Hold on to people that slipping away (Repeat: x14)
The song "Slipping Away" by Moby and Amaral is a poignant and introspective song about the fleeting nature of relationships and the importance of cherishing those we love.

They are trying to hold on to what they have, but everything seems to be slipping through their fingers.
The chorus, "Hold on people that slipping away, hold on to this while it's slipping away," is a plea to hold on to something or someone that is slipping away. The song is a reminder to appreciate the people we have in our lives and not take them for granted. The lyrics state, "All that we needed tonight are people who love us and like," emphasizing the importance of human connection and support.
The repeated refrain of "Seeing the good when it's all going bad, hoping the sun will at least look at me," highlights the struggles that the singers are going through. Even though things may seem bleak, they are still looking for the silver lining and hoping for a better outcome.
Overall, the song is a beautiful meditation on love and the importance of holding on to the people in our lives that matter most.
