Slipping Away

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, même si tout va si mal
Voir le soleil quand la nuit nous accable
Oh, pour un jour croire aux dieux, croire aux fables
Crier la vie quand tout autour se tait
Hold on to people that slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away
All that we needed tonight
Are people who love us and like
Je sais les douleurs et les doutes
Oh, partir est ce qu'on redoute
Aussi
Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good, même si tout va si mal
Voir le 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 tait
Hold on to people that 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, même si tout va si mal
Voir le 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 tait
Hold on to people that slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away
"Slipping Away" by Milen Farmer & Moby is a song that explores the concept of holding onto what is important in life, even when faced with darkness and uncertainty. The opening lyrics, "All that we needed was right, Les ombres ce soir nous menacent" (All that we needed was right, The shadows tonight threaten us), set the tone for the song, highlighting the presence of looming shadows and potential dangers. Despite these challenges, the lyrics express the importance of remaining open and receptive to both positive and negative emotions, and finding solace in believing in something greater, as suggested by the line, "Oh, pour un jour croire aux dieux, croire aux fables" (Oh, one day to believe in gods, believe in fables).
The lyrics emphasize the need to cherish the people who love and support us, as they are essential in navigating the uncertainties of life. By holding on to these relationships, we can find strength and comfort in the face of adversity. The repetition of the phrase "Hold on to this while it's slipping away" serves as a reminder to appreciate the present moment and the connections we have before they fade away.
Overall, "Slipping Away" encourages listeners to remain resilient and hopeful in the face of challenges, to find light even in darkness, and to value the relationships that provide solace and support.

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.
