“Sliipping Lately” is the twelfth and final track on Cavetown’s 2016 album, ‘16/04/16’.
This track focuses on Robin’s shortcomings and his feelings of falling behind. This is highlighted by the chorus and title of the song, where he feels as though he’s been “slipping”.
[Intro]
Marty: whoa, this is it, this is the part coming up, Doc
TV Doc: No no no this sucker’s electrical, but I need a nuclear reaction
To generate the one point twenty-one gigawatts of electricity-
Doc: What did I just say?
TV Doc: No no no this sucker’s electrical, but I need a nuclear reaction
To generate the one point twenty-one gigawatts of electricity that I need
Doc: One point twenty-one gigawatts. One point twenty-one gigawatts
Great Scott
Marty: What the hell is a gigawatt?
Doc: How could I have been so careless? One point twenty-one gigawatts
[Verse 1]
Picture this, promises (yeah)
You’re a snitch, you’ll tell them anything
Hear me out, don’t be difficult
We’ll work this out, and then mess it up again
[Chorus]
Oh I’ve been slipping lately, I’ve been slipping lately
[Verse 2]
Call it quits, dwelling’s criminal
Sorry miss, condition’s critical
Soda fizz, is stuck in his blood stream
Diagnosis, probably attention seeking
[Chorus]
I’ve been slipping lately, oh I’ve been slipping lately
I've been slipping lately, oh I've been slipping lately
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
It doesn’t really matter
You know what's real
Burning on your fingers
You know how to feel
[Chorus]
I’ve been slipping lately, oh I’ve been slipping lately
I've been slipping lately, oh I've been slipping lately
[Outro]
Oh I've been slipping lately, oh I've been slipping lately
