I think the meaning / interpretation of this song is much more simple and abstract.
This seems like some sort of "dead" relationship, and the lyrics are about how bad/boring it is, and how the singer is thinking of leaving. However, in the meanwhile, she's not going anywhere. She's "keeping it to herself". (for whatever unexplained reason, it's probably just not bad enough)
Also, to give someone the slip, in common slang, is to "escape" someone. Which probably means here that it's no big deal to get the slip, or get dumped in other words, as everybody gets it sometime in their lifetime. (well, I know some people who don't)
And again, it's very abstract. Would be interesting to learn the story behind these lyrics.
