Song Meaning of “Slippin’ Again” by DMX
This song is an ode to the struggles of life and how sometimes you just can’t seem to get ahead, no matter how hard you try. In the dark, yet melodic voice of DMX, he tells the realities of his life and the deep rooted feelings of depression that many people deal with. It talks of the fear of making changes and how it can all just slip away because we are so caught up in the monotony of life. The chorus really dives deep into the emotions of hopelessness and feeling that no matter how hard you try you can’t stop yourself from “slippin’ again.” It acknowledges that our expectations are high but sometimes life doesn’t always meet those expectations. DMX speaks from a place of understanding and acceptance but also acknowledging the darkness that society wants you to ignore. He delivers a compelling message of resilience and strength, urging us to remember that “slippin’” is just a part of life, not the end, and to keep pushing through and onto surface.
