The group released their debut album, The Lonely Position of Neutral, on July 23, 2002. The album was well received with the lead single "Downfall" gaining heavy exposure through MTV2.

Trust Company was scheduled to play at Ozzfest 2003 but was forced to back out by their label in order to work on their second album, True Parallels, which was belatedly released on March 22, 2005, after an 8-10 month delay. Several months prior to the album's release, original bassist Josh Moates left the group and was replaced by Walker Warren. Despite little promotion from their label, the album entered the Billboard album charts at #32, and has gone on to sell in excess of 200,000 copies. The first and only single from the album, "Stronger," made a moderate impact on mainstream rock radio. According to drummer Jason Singleton on the band's website message board, the second single may have been "The War is Over."

Slipping Away
Trust Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I feel like I'm slipping away
And you said, "Hold on"
But it feels like I'm slipping away
I won't let you down
The words you said to me
It's echoin' the sound
I'm standing here alone
The memories remain
The same familiar home
But nothing looks the same
And I'm standing here alone
Can't tell if I'm awake
Reality is gone
In a dream I can't escape
You said, "Hold on"
But I feel like I'm slipping away
And you said, "Hold on"
But I feel like I'm slipping away
I'm getting through it now
I guess it's plain to see
That everything I am
Is not everything you need
I'm standing here alone
Can't tell if I'm awake
Reality is gone
In a dream I will escape
You said, "Hold on"
But it feels like I'm slipping away
You said, "Hold on"
But I feel like I'm slipping away
I'm standing here alone
Can't tell if I'm awake
And it feels like I'm slipping away
Reality is gone in a dream I can't escape
And I feel like I'm slipping away
The lyrics to Trust Company’s song “Slipping Away” are about feeling disconnected and distant in a relationship. The first stanza describes communication breakdown between two people who are trying to hold on but are losing grip.

The second stanza alludes to the hope of trust and redemption in the face of a difficult situation. The singer feels alone and detached from their environment, but memories of hope and love remain. In the chorus, the lyrics repeat the phrase "holding on," but the singer's uncertainty about the relationship's fate is what makes them feel like they are slipping away. In the final verse, the singer realizes that maybe they are not the right fit for their partner, but they continue to struggle against the inevitable separation.
