Sliver Lane
Sophie Hunger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I cannot see it, I gave it my best shot
True love stays away, wunderbar
Spent all of my savings, impossible to stop
He said, "Water falls in love are met, but turn back"

Sliver lane, sliver lane
I'm back again, I'm back again
A sliver lane, sliver lane
My old friend, my old friend

Ha-ah
Ha-ah

No need for a flashlight
No need for a plan
I remember the ride like the back of my hand
This is where I came from
Where I had been made
Make my way back for this fatal relax on your trail

Sliver lane, a sliver lane
Back again, I'm back again
A sliver lane, sliver lane
My old friend, my old friend

'Cause you got me marching
You made me move
Shadow boxing, wanna know
On top of a roof, yeah

You got me talking
You know the truth
You're speechless, crazy
Built to mine, priest without a tooth

You got me walking
You made me smooth
Like a satellite plastic ping pong ball
Bouncing down at you





Sliver lane
I'm back again

Overall Meaning

In "Sliver Lane," Sophie Hunger reflects on her struggle to find true love. Despite her commitment to finding love, she cannot see it and feels she has given it her best effort. True love remains elusive and "wunderbar"(amazing). She has even spent all her savings on love to no avail. The lyrics describe a man who tells her that the waterfalls of love meet before turning back, implying that love always seems promising but ultimately does not work out. However, Sophie finds solace in a familiar place, Sliver Lane, which represents her past, where she has come from and where she was made. She feels that being there will lead her to a "fatal relax on your trail," a sense of peace that will bring her closer to her true self.


The repetition of "sliver lane" reflects the nostalgic feelings that Sophie experiences when contemplating her past. The imagery of "shadow boxing" on a roof, "like a satellite plastic ping pong ball bouncing," adds a surreal element to her memories. The phrase "priest without a tooth" is an oxymoron, which adds a whimsical tone to the lyrics. Sophie talks about how she felt empowered by someone, who helped her move forward, opened her up to speaking the truth, and made her feel smoother.

Definitely up there as one of my favorite artists. Btw beaker is my favorite muppet.

Thotola

How inspired a song ! ! ! ! Up to that change in intensity and energy (from 0.59 and a second time from 2.10 and on) that provides diversity but not complexity. It is harmonious from first to last second.

And love will never turn back
