Slipping Away
Mylene Farmer Feat Moby 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 Mylène Farmer feat. Moby is a powerful and emotional track about holding onto the good things in life, even when they seem to be slipping away. The song opens with the repeated line "All that we needed was right," which sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The darkness and uncertainty of life is present in the lyric "Les ombres ce soir nous menacent" (The shadows tonight threaten us), but the song encourages us to remain open to both the good and the bad in life.
The verse encourages us to see the good in life, even when things seem difficult. It suggests that believing in something greater than ourselves, be it in the form of gods or fables, can help us to cope with the challenges life throws our way. The chorus provides the key message of the song - to hold on to the people and things we love, even when they are slipping away. Despite the sadness of the situation, the song encourages us to focus on the things that make us happy and to continue to live life to the fullest.

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.
