of an opportunity to skip past

time to pass away

to turn against someone at the crucial hour

not keeping one's word

not letting a chance go

to become disinterested with the world around, everything to becomes ineffective

leaving one's homeland, to migrate to some other country

slip out of the mind, be forgotten

be in a blue funk, be deeply shocked

whizz by, swish by, pass through by swift

get rid of any pain easily
