It's a word in a song called 「スローモーション」 by サカナクション.
Somewhere in the middle part the song goes like this:
行けない つらりつらりと行けない
それはつまりつまりはスローモーション
ふわりふわり漂う 僕はまるで雪のよう
I didn't find lyrics with a kanji of this word in it, so つらり is given in hiragana only. And I can't guess it from the context either. Is it 辛い in a special form, or 面 in a special form? Or maybe an iconic expression like ざらざら、ごろごろ etc.?
Here is the link to the full lyrics (for further understanding, if needed).
Answer
The lyrics are pretty straightforward but this portion is a little cryptic.
While I can't be 100%, I can give you my opinion (after all i'm not the writer).
つらり normally means close to ずらり or 全部. So...
行けない つらり[つらり]と行けない
The literal translation is "can't go. Can't go in completely". This is your answer.
Now, the key to truly understanding what it means is in the rest of the lyrics.
"それはつまりつまりはスローモーション"
which means "that is in other words slow motion", indicating つらり to be the opposite of slow motion, or slowly. And the rest of the lyrics indicates frustration of not getting off at the place he was heading (終着駅）, and throwing away [something] before it completely accumulated. Whether the actual line means his inability to commit or to not being able to do things that matter to him quickly, it sure sounds like he knows what that means to his future. A sad song.
