A Message To Pretty Lyrics
People check to tell me
What the ythink is right
I don't listen to them
Don't know day from night
I'll go through life searchin
Tryin' to find the one
I'd go slip, slip, you'd go slip, slip, away
And I don't need you to help me find my way
I can make it if I just don't see your face
Once I had a problem
Didn't know what to do
Now I've got no problems
All I had was you
Guess I'll keep on searchin'
And try to find the one
Cause I'd go slip, slip, you'd go slip, slip away
What the ythink is right
I don't listen to them
Don't know day from night
I'll go through life searchin
Tryin' to find the one
I'd go slip, slip, you'd go slip, slip, away
I can make it if I just don't see your face
Didn't know what to do
Now I've got no problems
All I had was you
Guess I'll keep on searchin'
And try to find the one
Cause I'd go slip, slip, you'd go slip, slip away

i think the posted lyrics are slightly off:
people try to tell me what they think is right i dont listen to them don't know day from night
i go thru life searchin' tryin to find the one i go slip slip you go slip slip away
and i dont need you to help me find my way i can make it if i just dont see your face
(lisa)?!? had a problem didn't know what to do now I've got no problems all I had was you
yes ill keep on searchin & tryin to find the one cuz i go slip slip you go slip slip away
and i dont need you to help me find my way i can make it if i just dont see your face
meaning: this song appears to be from the perspective of someone who has recently broken up with his girlfriend.
the line "i can make it if i just dont see your face" seems to imply time will heal his wounds. additionally there are lines concerning his continual search for someone to fill the hole in his heart that imply the narrator has recently ended a relationship of some sort.
the beginning verse certainly fits this mindset - the narrator is clearly lost and friends are offering advice on how to cope with the loss but the union of old continues to "slip slip away".
the line "and i dont need you to help me find my way" & "i can make it if i just dont see your face" is a wonderful juxtaposition of two different mindsets after a breakup - the former of spite and the latter of partial regret.
