Slipping Away is about anything in life that our brains slowly forget. We can try to hold on to them and sometimes we do not even realize that it's slipping away. Once it slips away it goes into the darkness and is forgotten. With this we get further and further away from what we are trying to remember. My inspiration came from my own life, the older I get the more I start to forget all the memories from when I was a kid. We are born to make memories and to obtain objects but as we grow older what we once enjoyed and cherished is now slipping away into the darkness. In the end I think that forgetfulness of objects, memories, people, etc. becomes inevitable.
