Slipped Away is a song by Avril Lavigne. This song is from her second album Under My Skin.
Meaning[]
Avril Lavigne dedicated "Slipped Away" to her grandfather. The two were very close, so it was very hard when he passed away while Avril was on her "Try To Shut Me Up" tour. After she heard the news, sources say that she nearly cancelled that night's concert. Eventually, she convinced herself not to let her fans down and continue the show.
Avril wrote this song for him, and the meaning is very clear. What she is trying to say in this song is that nothing would be the same without her grandfather, since he was gone forever, and she never got to say goodbye because of her tour.
She expresses the way she feels in this song very well.
The song was used in the 2013 YouTube video "sad my little pony" uploaded by Eric Wartick, which was dedicated to their grandpa, it is also the reason this song is infamous for being "emo" or "overdramatic", it has also caused a lot of parodies of the original video, causing Avril to go back into a depressive state and having all the videos even mentioning the video can get you copyrighted despite the song previously being open for all use.
Lyrics[]
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Oh
Na na na na na na na
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't
Oh
I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Oh
I had my wake up, won't you wake up, I keep asking why
And I can't take it, it wasn't fake, it happened, you passed by
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere you're not coming back
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
The day you slipped away
Was the day that I found it won't be the same
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you
