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, meme si tout va si mal
Femmes au 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 tais
Hold on to people they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away
All that we needed tonight
Are people who love us and life
Je sais les douleurs et les doutes
Oh, partir et ce qu'on redoute
Oh si
Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good, meme si tout va si mal
Femmes au soleil quand la nuit nous accable
Oh, pour un jour croire au dieu croire aux fables
Focus on everything better today
Crier la vie quand tout autour se tai
Hold on to people they're 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, meme si tout va si mal
Femmes au soleil quand la nuit nous accable
Oh, pour un jour croire au dieu croire aux fables
Focus on everything better today
Crier la vie quand tout autour se tai
Hold on to people they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away
The song Slipping Away by Mylene Farmer feat. Moby is a song about the fleeting nature of life and relationships. It speaks to the idea that everything we need is right here in front of us, and yet we still struggle to hold onto it. The opening lines "All that we needed, was right" and "All that we needed was right" convey this idea that we already have everything we need, but perhaps we aren't seeing it clearly. The next line, "Les ombres ce soir nous menacent" (The shadows this evening are threatening us) suggests that there is something dark and ominous lurking just beyond our reach, ready to snatch away the things we hold dear.
Throughout the song, there is a focus on the good in life, even when things are difficult. The lines "Open to everything happy and sad, seeing the good, meme si tout va si mal" (Open to everything happy and sad, seeing the good, even when everything is going wrong) illustrate this idea. The song also speaks to the importance of holding onto people and relationships, even when they are slipping away. The lines "Hold on to people they're slipping away, hold on to this while it's slipping away" convey a sense of urgency, as if the singer is pleading with the listener to hold onto the things they love before it's too late.
Overall, Slipping Away is a beautiful and poignant song that speaks to the fragility of life and the importance of appreciating what we have while we still have it.

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.
