Slipping Away
Mpax Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I always knew there'd come a time
Where I'd have to speak my mind
And if anyone's for me, I hope it's you
And I know that you see through it
The other me I tried to ruin
And you wanna let me in but
You know
That I can feel you slipping away from me
And as far as what I can see
You remain guarded, left with no warning
And I can feel you under my fingertips
Taking what I have left
Holding to what you said
What do I gotta do to make you stay here
Stay and ride with me
Stay the night with me
What do I gotta do to get you to stay here
Stay and ride with me
Stay the night with me
Okay if anyone's for me I hope it's you
I done played my role It's time to take my shot and shoot
I been had these feelings and I don't know what to do
Say, I don't what to do
Every time I look up in the mirror I get confused
I put on a big smile but you can see right through
Ain't no point in lying when I know you know the truth
I know I know it too
It's time to make a move
I can feel you slipping away from me
I'm losing my sanity
Cause you are my fantasy
I want this to be our new reality
And as far as I can see
I feel like you're feeling me
So what you wanna do?
What do I gotta do to make you stay here
Stay and ride with me
Stay the night with me
What do I gotta do to get you to stay here
Stay and ride with me
Stay the night with me
What do I gotta do to make you stay here
Stay and ride with me
Stay the night with me




Cause I can feel you slipping away from me
And as far as what I can see

Line by Line Meaning

I always knew there'd come a time
From the beginning, I had a sense that there would be a moment like this


Where I'd have to speak my mind
A time when I would need to express my thoughts and feelings


And if anyone's for me, I hope it's you
If there's anyone who supports me, I hope it's you


And I know that you see through it
I'm aware that you can see past my facade


The other me I tried to ruin
The version of myself that I attempted to self-destruct


And you wanna let me in but you know
You desire to allow me into your life, but you're aware


That I can feel you slipping away from me
I can sense you slowly drifting apart from me


And as far as what I can see
From my perspective, based on what I perceive


You remain guarded, left with no warning
You continue to be cautious, without any forewarning


And I can feel you under my fingertips
I can sense your presence through the slightest touch


Taking what I have left
Gradually depleting what little I possess


Holding to what you said
Clutching onto the promises you made


What do I gotta do to make you stay here
What actions must I take to ensure you remain by my side?


Stay and ride with me
Stay and accompany me through this journey


Stay the night with me
Spend the night together, creating shared memories


Okay if anyone's for me I hope it's you
In all honesty, if there's anyone on my side, I hope it's you


I done played my role It's time to take my shot and shoot
I've fulfilled my designated role, now it's my turn to take a risk and seize the opportunity


I been had these feelings and I don't know what to do
I've long possessed these emotions, but I'm unsure how to handle them


Say, I don't what to do
Admitting that I am uncertain about the appropriate course of action


Every time I look up in the mirror I get confused
Each time I gaze at my reflection, I become perplexed


I put on a big smile but you can see right through
I wear a fake grin, yet you can easily see past it


Ain't no point in lying when I know you know the truth
There's no purpose in deceiving when I'm aware that you already know the truth


I know I know it too
I acknowledge that I also understand the truth


It's time to make a move
Now is the moment to take action


I'm losing my sanity
I'm slowly losing my mental stability


Cause you are my fantasy
Because you represent my ideal, my daydream


I want this to be our new reality
I desire for this to become our new truth, our shared existence


And I feel like you're feeling me
I have a sense that you reciprocate my feelings


So what you wanna do?
What choices do you want to make?


What do I gotta do to make you stay here
What actions must I take to ensure you stay by my side?


Stay and ride with me
Stay and accompany me through this journey


Stay the night with me
Spend the night together, creating shared memories


What do I gotta do to get you to stay here
What efforts must I exert to convince you to remain with me?


Stay and ride with me
Stay and accompany me through this journey


Stay the night with me
Spend the night together, creating shared memories


What do I gotta do to make you stay here
What actions must I take to ensure you stay by my side?


Stay and ride with me
Stay and accompany me through this journey


Stay the night with me
Spend the night together, creating shared memories


Cause I can feel you slipping away from me
Because I can sense you gradually distancing yourself from me


And as far as what I can see
Based on my perception and understanding
