Fading Away
Ephemeral Echoes: Unveiling the Heartache in Elegant Machinery's 'Fading Away'
Lyrics
Standing there on her own
Describing a person standing alone.
Hiding her face from the crowd
Attempting to hide from the surrounding crowd.
"oh god what kind of a world this is"
Expressing disillusionment with the world.
So many scars that hurts
Referring to numerous painful experiences.
Scars that never faded
Emphasizing enduring emotional wounds.
A sweet caress she softly miss
Longing for a gentle touch that is missed.
Fading away
Describing a gradual disappearance or decline.
In the darkest hour
Experiencing difficulties during the darkest times.
Like a withering flower
Comparing the subject's state to a withering flower.
Fading away
Continuing to describe the fading process.
In the darkest night
Highlighting the person's state in the darkest night.
She's a shade of hear youth
Indicating a loss or change in the person's youth.
Standing there in the dark
Depicting the person standing in darkness.
All is real but still unseen
Acknowledging the reality of the situation, though unseen.
She looks around with a sign of grief
Observing the person's surroundings with sadness.
She needs someone who cares
Expressing the need for someone who cares.
Someone who listens to
Seeking a listener for words of disbelief.
Those words of disbelief
Referring to the person's expression of pain and doubt.
Fading away
Repeating the theme of gradual disappearance in darkness.
In the darkest hour
Reiterating the challenges faced during the darkest hours.
Like a withering flower
Reinforcing the metaphor of a withering flower.
Fading away
Repeating the description of fading in the darkest night.
In the darkest night
Restating the alteration of the person's youth.
She's a shade of hear youth
Repeating the concept of the person as a shadow of their youth.
"Take these broken wings of mine
Quoting a plea for assistance and guidance.
And teach me how to live my life"
Continuing the request for help in living life.
Fading away...
Reiterating the theme of gradual disappearance.
