SLIPPING AWAY
Moby ft. Mylène 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 song Slipping Away by Moby ft. Mylène Farmer is a reflective song about the transient nature of life and relationships. It talks about the things that really matter in life - loving and being loved - and the importance of holding onto them even when they seem to be slipping away. The opening lines, "All that we needed was right, les ombres ce soir nous menacent" (All that we needed was right, the shadows threaten us tonight) suggest that sometimes, even when we have everything we need, we can still feel threatened by the darkness around us.
Throughout the song, the singers encourage the listener to focus on the positive and to hold onto the people they love, even as they feel like they are slipping away. The lines "Open to everything happy and sad, seeing the good, même si tout va si mal" (Open to everything happy and sad, seeing the good, even if everything is going wrong) and "Focus on everything better today, crier la vie quand tout autour se tait" (Focus on everything better today, shout out life when everything is silent) suggest that even in the darkest moments, there is always something to be thankful for and to hold onto.
Ultimately, the message of the song is one of hope and perseverance. It encourages the listener to hold onto the good in their lives, even as they navigate the difficulties that come with living in an imperfect world. In doing so, the singers suggest that we can find meaning and purpose in our lives and that we can make the most of the time we are given.

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.
