What about it: “The song was written right after losing someone in my deep inner circle that was ruled to be an accident but to me seemed a suicide. I think that in times of despair, people tend to find warmth in darkness which is a trick of the mind as referred to in my favorite line in the song “And then you gimme’ that look / yeah you gimme that look, like your never comin’ back again / like you’ve crawled down into a deep dark hole / and it’s warm like the house of a friend.” A mind is a strange place which can turn dark to darker or vice versa with ease.
“Slip Away” is definitely one of the deepest songs I’ve ever written and a personal favorite.” – Charlie Overbey
