The Goo Goo Dolls - Slide

The Goo Goo Dolls - Slide

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'll give you anything
To feel it comin'

Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults

[Chorus:]
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide

Yeah we're gonna let it, slide

Don't you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you

Don't suppose I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
Something I can't change
I'll live around it

[Chorus]

And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
May, put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
May, do you wanna get married
Or run away

And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
May, put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
May, do you wanna get married
Or run away

[Chorus]

This song makes me think of David :) Well, actually it just catches my attention with the line:

"I wanna wake up where you are."

Anyways, the meaning of this song is under a lot of speculation from GGD fans, so I'll just explain it in my own words.

The overall meaning of the song is that unless we let things slide, like our faults and our past, there's no way we can continue moving forward in life.

It's sung by a boy, to a girl, obviously. The girl has had a hard time in life, she's made mistakes. "Don't you love the life you killed" can refer either to her messing up her own life, or could be referring to her having an abortion. Her parents have no faith in her, and blame her completely for her mistakes - her mom left her and her dad went crazy. The singer mentions that she wakes up, not knowing where she is - which is because she can't let things go. He, however, lives with his faults: "I'll live around it."

The repeated verses:
I wanna wake up where you are,
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide

And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
May, put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
May, do you wanna get married
Or run away

These verses deal with the more personal aspect in the song, which is, of course, him confessing his love to her. Despite her problems, he loves her. Unlike those who judge her, he won't say anything. He says that the fact she feels guilty about her life shows she is a good person, and because your feelings and personality are a reflection of how you are portrayed outwardly, she is a beautiful person despite her problems. He isn't held back by her past, or her mistakes - to him, they do not change who she is. He just wants to be with her and support her no matter what she wants to do - whether it be getting married or running away.

The line I think is most important, and most overlooked, is:

"I wanna wake up where you are."

I don't think it only means he wants to wake up beside her. Although he means it physically, he also wishes he could wake up in her shoes so he can perceive her world as she does, so he can understand her. But because he can't, the next best thing he can do is accept her no matter what.


It reminds me of my baby because he tells me a million times a day that I am an angel, that things I've done or that have happened to me before don't matter at all. And of course, he always says he wants to wake up beside me :)

So this is dedicated to David. I love you honey <3

Lyrics:

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away(So far away)
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go

As for song notes:

Spanish translations:
It's not entirely Spanish... It's a weird mix of Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish and something else, lol.

"Que ola cata, Que ola omega"
"Wassup Cata, 'sup Omega"

Just giving a shout out to two guys.

The repeated part is:

"Si es verdad que tu ere guapa,
Yo te voy a poner gozar
Tu tiene la boca grande
'Dale ponte a jugar (Como)"

Which means

"If it is true you are brave,
I am gonna make you enjoy it
Since you have a big mouth,
C'mon and start playing with it (What?)"

- Guapa is "pretty" but they way he means it here is "brave" (courageous, strong)
- Sí, with an accent, means "yes". Si without the accent, means "if".
- Dale is slang for "come on" or "let's go" (as in "andale", "hurry up")
- Como means "how", but in the song it also means "what".

"Rumba (Si)
Ella quiere su Rumba (Como?)
Rumba (Si)
Ella quiere si Rumba (Como?)"

I got confused by Rumba but I think the best translation for it is party.

Rumba means either sex, party, toy, or a type of Cuban dance. I think "party" fits best, though.

"Party? (Yes)
She likes to party? (How?)
Party? (Yes)
She likes to party? (How?)"


Other notes:

"Mami got an ass like a donque"

Sounds like "donkey" but I'm pretty sure he means donque. Basically just another word for a woman's ass, also "don que" means "give it to me". So, it's a play on words. The reference to "monkey" after that is also... Donkey is the back, monkey is the front, if you know what I mean :P

Calle Ocho means 8th street, a famous street in Miami (Pitbull is from Miami)

Beyond Monday

The Glitch Mob - Beyond Monday




I've been listening to a lot of TGM's music lately. It feels good to take a break from lyrics for awhile! Also, a lot of their Glitch Hop style music is great for dancing to. This is a remake of their song Nalepa - Monday Remix. I found out about TGM through Tim Burton's "9" movie - their song "Red Dress", a remix of TV On The Radio's song, was the BGM for one of the trailers.

Lots of their songs are 40:00+, so taking a break from the hour long tracks is nice with a song like this.
