Cover art for Slipping lyrics by Lily Holbrook

I initially thought this was a song about being tempted to suicide by the self-inflicted death of someone close.

I think its now about two people going through identity crises. This interpretation is practically the only sense I can make of the repetitiously stated lyric "I changed your name again".

I wanted to also add that I initially thought this song was about the death of a sibling who she used to call names - when she changed his name again - it was to "angel".
