Pink Floyd - one slip

화자는 사랑의 유혹과 욕망에 이끌려 자신의 결단을 상실하고 후회를 겪는다
순간의 실수로 인해 삶이 엮이게 되고, 그 결과로 찾아오는 불면의 밤을 암시한다
사랑의 véritable을 끊임없이 고민하는 한편, 고독을 견딜 수 없게 된다

A restless eye across a weary room
A glazed look, and I was on the road to ruin
The music played and played as we whirled without end
No hint, no word her honour to defend
“I will, I will” she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I led the way to the funeral pyre
And without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence
One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret, you won’t forget
There’ll be no sleep in here tonight
Was it love or was it the idea of being in love?
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone
