Fade Away
Love's Fading Echo: A Heart's Silent Suffering
Lyrics
Fade away, I don't wanna know that you're not okay
Fade away, expressing a desire for emotional distance and not wanting to be aware of someone's struggles.
You don't understand what a price I pay
Acknowledging a personal cost or sacrifice that comes with not understanding the speaker's perspective.
Seeing you means pain, I hate the games we play
Associating seeing the person with pain, expressing dislike for the emotional games in the relationship.
I'm sorry but I really hope you
An apology is given, but the speaker hopes for the other person to fade away.
Fade away, I don't wanna know that you're not okay

I know that we're in love but it fades away
Recognition that the love between the speaker and the other person is diminishing.
The consequence of hatred is replacement babe
Highlighting the consequence of hatred, suggesting that it leads to replacement or the end of the relationship.
So I don't wanna know that
Repeated expression of not wanting to know about the other person's struggles or emotions.
I don't wanna know that
-I don't wanna know that
-I don't wanna know that
-I don't wanna, I don't wanna
-Back on the road, always telling me some shit I don't wanna know
Reference to being on the road and not wanting to hear unwanted information.
Keep it to yourself the only way we can grow
Suggesting that growth is possible if personal issues are kept private.
Cause if I'm being honest all the closeness can go
Honestly acknowledging that emotional closeness may need to be sacrificed for personal well-being.
Feel like I'm locked in a chokehold
Feeling trapped or suffocated in the relationship.
Trust me, baby I know
Assurance that the speaker understands the difficulty of the situation.
The hardest thing about it's moving out on your own
Recognizing the challenge of moving on independently.
My eyes well as you put on your coat
Expressing sadness (welling of eyes) as the other person prepares to leave.
I don't wanna stop but we gotta let go
Expressing reluctance to stop the relationship but acknowledging the necessity to let go.
I hope you

-I'm sorry but I really hope you
-Fade away, I don't wanna know that you're not okay
-I know that we're in love but it fades away
-The consequence of hatred is replacement babe
-So I don't wanna know that
-I don't wanna know that
-I don't wanna know that
-I don't wanna know that
-I don't wanna know that
Indecision, changing one's mind about a previous stance.
Matter fact I changed my mind
Expressing continuous thoughts about the other person.
I think about you all the time
Revealing a past belief in the other person's infallibility.
You say you were always right

What a fuckin' crazy lie

Cause I thought you were perfect, but you took my heart and burned it
Feeling hurt and deceived after believing the other person was perfect.
I got no more love for pretty bitches that ain't earn it
Rejecting affection for individuals who haven't earned it.
The secret's come to surface, seems you left me in the lurch (Yeah)

Saw you in his car I bet the money doesn't hurt, bitch
Observing the other person with someone else and feeling the emotional impact.
Threw your pictures in the furnace, smiled as they burned, switched
Symbolic act of burning pictures, representing a definitive end to the relationship.
Up on me now you're eating sturgeon caviar with surgeons
Describing the other person's current affluent lifestyle after leaving.
Lamborghini's, Rolly's, Birkin purses all the works
Listing luxurious possessions the other person now enjoys.
Yeah I bet the money's nice, but little do you know it all

Fades away, I don't wanna know that you're not okay
