Fading Echoes: Unveiling the Silent Struggle in Luca Dorotovics' 'Fade'
Lyrics
What's it gonna be today?
Contemplating the choices or events of the day
Too sad to get up or too scared to stay in bed?
Feeling torn between overwhelming sadness and fear
Check on your friends, I'm sure they're doing alright
Suggesting concern for the well-being of friends
And what's it gonna be today?
Repeating the contemplation of choices or events
Take your meds at the start or end of the day?
Questioning the timing of medication intake
Just to make sure that your chemical thrill isn't a chemical spill,
Ensuring the safety of one's chemical well-being
That you're doing okay
Checking on personal stability and wellness
'Cause at the end of the night, When your friends are headed home,
Reflecting on solitude after social interactions
You're alone with the ghosts only you know
Confronting inner struggles when alone
The scars that hide in secret
Acknowledging hidden emotional wounds
The fake smile on your lips
Noticing a false expression of happiness
The laughter that you're fakin'
Recognizing insincere laughter
Like a ghost, baby you're fading
Comparing the fading self to a ghost
It's killin' you slowly like a drug
Describing emotional pain as a slow-acting poison
Every part of you is broken up
Addressing the fragmented state of one's being
I feel you slowly slip away
Sensing a gradual emotional detachment
Like a ghost baby you fade
Reiterating the comparison to a fading ghost
Who're you gonna be today?
Pondering the choice of identity for the day
The person I know or someone fake?
Questioning authenticity in self-presentation
I hate it when you pretend,
Expressing dislike for pretense
Say you're fine, but your eyes say different
Noting the contradiction between words and eyes
And who're you gonna trick right now?
Challenging the act of deceiving others
I've got you figured out
Claiming to understand the person's true self
No, you can't lie to me
Asserting an inability to be deceived
You can try but you know I'll always see
Highlighting perceptive abilities
The pain beneath your eyes
Observing hidden pain beneath the surface
You think no one can see
Challenging the belief of being unseen
But I can 'cause you know that it used to be me
Recalling a shared past when the observer was the subject
The scars that hide in secret
Reiterating the presence of concealed emotional wounds
The fake smile on your lips
Highlighting insincerity in facial expressions
The laughter that you're fakin'
Noting the falseness of laughter
Like a ghost, baby you're fading
Repeating the comparison to a fading ghost
It's killing you slowly like a drug Every part of you is broken up
Reiterating the slow and destructive nature of emotional pain
I feel you slowly slip away
Expressing the continued sense of detachment
Like a ghost baby you fade
Restating the theme of fading away like a ghost
If love was enough I swear that you'd be fine
If love were sufficient, the person would be well
Give you everything, until I'm bleeding dry
Offering love and support until it becomes draining
But looking in the mirror, I see it in your eyes
Seeing the emotional distress reflected in the mirror
The scars that hide in secret
Recalling the existence of hidden emotional wounds
The fake smile on your lips
Repeating the recognition of insincere happiness
The laughter that you're fakin'
Reiterating the falseness in laughter
Like a ghost, baby you're fading
Repeating the comparison to a fading ghost
Killing you slowly like a drug Every part of you is broken up
Repeating the description of slow emotional decay
I feel you slowly slip away
Reiterating the sense of gradual detachment
Like a ghost baby you fade
Reiterating the theme of fading away like a ghost
