The Ladies of Sport Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Times, you know, you don′t
Times, you don't, no you don′t know
There's a time coming up when you're gonna slip
There′s a time coming up when you will slide
Hold your hands too tightly to anything it will say goodbye
There′s a time coming up when you're gonna smile
There′s a time coming up when you will sigh
Everything's alright
People that you know
People that you don′t
People you don't know you don′t know
Places that you go
Places that you won't
Places you forgot you went to
There's a time coming up when you′re gonna slip
There′s a time coming up when you will slide
Hold your hands too tightly to anything it will say goodbye
There's a time coming up when you′re gonna smile
There's a time coming up when you will sigh
Hands open let go of everything you will be alright
There′s a time coming up when you're gonna slip
There′s a time coming up when you will slide
Hold your hands too tightly to anything it will say goodbye
There's a time coming up when you will smile
You will be alright
The Ladies of Sport's song Slipslide is a song about the inevitable ups and downs of life. The lyrics express the idea that we cannot control everything that happens to us, and that at times, we will slip and slide, both metaphorically and even physically. It acknowledges that there are times when we think we have a handle on things, while at other times we are completely lost. However, the song suggests that it is important to embrace the ups and downs of life, whether it be the people we meet, the places we go, or the emotions we feel. It advises us to not hold on too tightly to anything because we cannot always control the outcome. The chorus repeats the idea that "you will be alright", no matter how many times we "slip" or "slide" in life.
The song's lyrics seem to suggest that life is a journey, one that is full of both highs and lows. The message encourages a sense of acceptance towards this journey, while remaining optimistic that everything will eventually be alright. It's a song that recognizes the importance of letting go and surrendering to the unknown.
