Slip Out

Beck · Other Songs - Beck

I don't know when I changed to such a cold cold-hearted guy

I thaw to warm this frozen, icy, lonely heart of mine

I like being wrapped with warmness more than anything else for sure

I'm take make my coming days and fill them with laughter and joy



I let myself down by being crueler than I thought I would be

I'm just a loser learning to care for the soul inside of me

I don't give my heart to no one cause I don't wanna waste my time

I tried to love this loneliness to slip out from where it hides



[Chorus]

Sorrow is what I hate but it's grown my sensations

Regrets taught me how to make any hard decisions

Peace is always by my side but I've never felt it once

Love is not a word reserved only for sweet romance



Well, I'm scared,I'm scared,I'm scared,I'm scared to death

And I'm scared to keep on going on my way

Well, I'm scared,I'm scared,I'm scared,I'm scared to death

And I'll tell myself I'm special till the end



Recalling my torn, broken, aching heart of these long days

And all the memories I wanted to forget for making waves

Recalling, breaking, aching, crying, making sure I see

That'll take it all and grin at the future on it's way to me...



[Chorus]



I don't give my heart to no one cause I don't wanna waste my time

I tried to love this loneliness to slip out from where it hides...

Slip Out

Beck's "Slip Out" stands as a quintessential example of his mid-1990s indie rock sound, characterized by its intricate guitar work and introspective lyricism. While often associated with the broader "Odelay" era, the track reflects the band's signature blend of alternative rock and experimental textures that defined the late 90s landscape. The song captures a moment of quiet tension, utilizing Beck's distinctive vocal delivery to explore themes of emotional detachment and personal struggle. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to function as both a standalone listening experience and a cohesive part of the larger musical tapestry created during that prolific period. The recording showcases the band's commitment to sonic experimentation, blending acoustic intimacy with the driving energy typical of their catalog.
