Discover the story of the song > Slip Slidin’ Away – Paul Simon

The song talks about different people and their struggles with relationships, goals, and life in general. One man is afraid of losing himself to his love for his partner, one woman is happy only on good days, and a father tries to make amends with his son. The chorus emphasizes that the closer we get to our goals, the more we feel like we're slipping away and that even though we try to control our lives, we can never know what God has planned for us.
