- Slide Show Lyrics / with translationsToday is the day
For dancing and for singing
The birds in the trees and all
The bells are ringing
The sun is in the sky
Is bright as bright second light
Is bright oh god I hope I'm alright
Cause I'm gonna cry
Hold on, hold on
Slow down, slow down
You're out of touch
Out of touch
'Cause there is no design for life
There's no devil's haircut in my mind
There is not a wonderwall to climb
To climb or step around
But there is a slide show and it's so slow
Flashing through my mind
Today was the day
But only for the first time
Hold on, hold on
Slow down, slow down
You're out of touch
Out of touch
'Cause there is no design for life
There is no devil's haircut in your mind
There is not a wonderwall
To climb or step around
But there is a slidesshow and it's so slow
Flashing through my mind
Today was the day
But only for the first time
I hope it's not the last time
For dancing and for singing
The birds in the trees and all
The bells are ringing
The sun is in the sky
Is bright as bright second light
Is bright oh god I hope I'm alright
Cause I'm gonna cry
Hold on, hold on
Slow down, slow down
You're out of touch
Out of touch
'Cause there is no design for life
There's no devil's haircut in my mind
There is not a wonderwall to climb
To climb or step around
But there is a slide show and it's so slow
Today was the day
But only for the first time
Hold on, hold on
Slow down, slow down
You're out of touch
Out of touch
'Cause there is no design for life
There is no devil's haircut in your mind
There is not a wonderwall
To climb or step around
But there is a slidesshow and it's so slow
Flashing through my mind
Today was the day
But only for the first time
I hope it's not the last time

When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the Travis song 'Slide Show' discusses in a metaphoric way the complexities of life and the absence of an obvious way or answer to its difficulties. The metaphors of 'design for life' and 'wonderwall to climb' are the main symbols of the uncertainties and the pain one has to endure. Besides, the lyrics refer to the feelings of being without company and not having one's hopes fulfilled, describing the mood of being left out and wanting to be with others but this need goes unfulfilled even after time elapsed. Slide show lyrics mainly underscore angst, solitude, heartbreak, despair, and social commentary. Alongside these, the song also brings out the necessity of isolation and loneliness, disillusionment with life, and the necessity of conflict. The lyrics contain themes of emotional distress, references to alcohol use, and some strong language that may not be suitable for children under 13.
