S.E.S. is considered one of K-pop's first highly successful girl groups. They were challenged by groups like Fin.K.L and Baby V.O.X, which debuted soon after S.E.S. and also enjoyed success.
The group's end came because of contract expiration of members Bada and Eugene in 2003, though Shoo eventually also parted ways with SM Entertainment in 2006. S.E.S. officially disbanded in mid-2003, after the release of the compilation album Beautiful Songs, though they had been inactive since 2002, when they released their last original single S.II.S (Soul To Soul), from the greatest hits album Friend.
In subsequent years, the former members ventured into solo music activies and also acting, to varying degrees of success.
In October 2016, it was publicly announced that the trio would be returning to the music scene to celebrate their 20th anniversary since debuting with the album I'm Your Girl. After releasing the buzz single Love [story], a remake of their 1999 single Love, through SM Entertainment's digital project SM Station on November 28, their special album Remember was announced, scheduled for a January 2, 2017 release with double title tracks Remember and 한 폭의 그림 (Paradise).
Slip Away
S.E.S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I finally found a way
To see you
Last night I took a trip
Like I always said I would
Into your dreams
Do you remember
Do you remember
Or was it just me
Do you remember
Do you remember
Do you remember
Or was it just me
Don't get in the way
Don't get in the way
Don't let it get in the way
Don't get in the way
Don't get in the way
Don't slip away
Don't get in the way
Don't get in the way
Don't let it get in the way
Don't let it slip away
You think it's just a dream
But hold on to me
I knew you were afraid
'Cause you've never been this way
So I led you
I took you to a place
Where we danced around and played
And you held me
Do you remember
Do you remember
Do you remember it
Or was it just me
Hope you remember
Hope you remember
Hope you remember
'Cause it wasn't just me
Don't get in the way
Don't get in the way
Don't let it get in the way
Don't get in the way
Don't get in the way
And don't slip away
Don't get in the way
Don't get in the way
Don't let it get in the way
Don't let it slip away
It's not just a dream
It's another reality for me and you
Another another reality for me and you
(Yeah, reality
Yeah, reality)
The song Slip Away by S.E.S is a somber ballad about being separated from a loved one and trying to find a way to reconnect with them. The lyrics suggest that the singer has found a way to enter their lover's dreams, and in doing so, they are transported to a magical place where they can be together again. The repeated refrain "Do you remember, or was it just me?" implies that while they may have had a shared experience, it's possible that only one of them will remember it.
The chorus of "Don't get in the way, and don't slip away" underscores the importance of holding onto this experience, and not letting mundane or worldly distractions interfere. The singer is reassuring their lover that this is not just a dream, but rather "another reality" where they can be together, away from the real world.
Overall, the song is about the hope and longing for connection, and the struggle to hold onto that feeling even when separated. It's a poignant reminder of the power of dreams and imagination, and the importance of not letting the pressures of life get in the way of our deepest desires.

Although you're far away
Despite the distance between us
I finally found a way
I have finally found a means to be with you
To see you
To be able to experience your presence
Last night I took a trip
Recently I had a dream
Like I always said I would
As I had previously mentioned
Into your dreams
A journey into your subconscious
Do you remember
Do you recall
Or was it just me
Or was it only in my imagination
Don't get in the way
Do not interfere or obstruct
Don't let it get in the way
Do not allow anything to hinder our connection
Don't let it slip away
Do not let our bond fade or disappear
You think it's just a dream
Maybe you believe it to be only a fantasy
But hold on to me
But keep holding on to our relationship
I knew you were afraid
I realized you were scared
'Cause you've never been this way
Since you have never experienced this before
So I led you
Therefore, I guided you
I took you to a place
I took you to a setting
Where we danced around and played
Where we joyfully danced and played
And you held me
And you embraced me
Hope you remember
I hope you recollect
'Cause it wasn't just me
Because it was not only in my own head
And don't slip away
And do not let our relationship drift apart
It's not just a dream
It is more than just a figment of my imagination
It's another reality for me and you
It is a distinct and valid experience for both of us
Another another reality for me and you
Another alternate experience for both of us
(Yeah, reality
(Yes, our true reality
Yeah, reality)
Yes, a reality that we share)

Why do you play with my heart? Why do you play with my mind?
I want to know what love is, I want to feel what love is
어디서 무슨 얘기를 듣고 이러는 거야
지금까지 너만을 표정 없이 사랑해 왔을 뿐
어떻게 왜 나를 이해할 수 없다는 거야
그렇게 밖에 여긴 너는 오... 뭐니
나를 다른 사람에게 소개할 때마다 너야말로 나를 왜 비밀처럼 숨겨 왔었는지
이젠 너의 마음 모두를 난 헤아려 줄게, 나를 오해할 필요도 없잖니
Oh baby, take it away
너만 없었다면 나는 더 좋은 사랑을 하고 있었을 거야
이젠 다시는 오지마 나를 다시는 찾지마
널 보내주기로 했어 오늘 이 밤이 다 가기 전에
이젠 내게로 오지마 나를 다시는 찾지마
이것이 내 마지막 사랑이라고 생각해
Why do you play with my heart? Why do you play with my mind?
I want to know what love is, I want to feel what love is
어떤 이유를 내게 자꾸 원하는 거야
아무 이유 없이도 날 보낼 수가 있는 넌데
더 이상은 너로 인해 울고 싶지 않아
너무나도 간단한 일이야 Oh (우리 헤어져)
서로가 진심을 몰랐어 지금껏 그저 사랑하는 척만 했던 거야
이젠 다시는 오지마 나를 다시는 찾지마
널 보내주기로 했어 오늘 이 밤이 다 가기 전에
이젠 내게로 오지마 나를 다시는 찾지마
이것이 내 마지막 사랑이라고 생각해
Why do you play with my heart? Why do you play with my mind?
I want to know what love is, I want to feel what love is
이젠 다시는 오지마 나를 다시는 찾지마
널 보내주기로 했어 오늘 이 밤이 다가기 전에
이젠 내게로 오지마 나를 다시는 찾지마
이것이 내 마지막 사랑이라고 생각해
