ABOUT THE SONG
The song “Slipperiness” explorse the concept of being consumed by forces that are difficult to resist or escape, with metaphorical undertones that can be linked to the escalating threat of climate change.
- Intro & Bridge: The “slipperiness” represents the subtle, gradual descent into environmental disaster, where humanity finds itself “hoping to miss” the inevitable collapse (“abyss’ lips”). The “mistress abyss” could symbolize the forces of climate change—seductive yet deadly—waiting to consume those who ignore or deny it.
- Chorus: The lines about being “swallowed alive” suggest how climate change, if not addressed, will overwhelm societies, leaving no room for survival unless immediate action is taken. It portrays the Earth’s ecosystems as having a powerful role, one that humanity might eventually serve by becoming victims of its own neglect.
- Verse & Outro: The illusion of success mirrors the false sense of security created by short-term gains or temporary fixes in response to climate change. The “confusion” highlights the dissonance between scientific realities and societal inaction, emphasizing how the increasing impacts of global warming can feel elusive or deceptive, but are nonetheless real and dangerous.
In summary, the song metaphorically warns of the slippery slope we are on due to climate change, where small missteps lead to catastrophic consequences, much like falling into an abyss.
