Fade Away
Ephemeral Dreams: Unraveling the Meaning Behind 'Fade Away'
Lyrics
You make things worth it
You give purpose and value to things.
So good so far
The situation or relationship has been positive until now.
Stay a little longer cause you can't
Request to prolong the current state because leaving is not an option.
You can't leave me out
Emphasizing the impossibility of being excluded or abandoned.
But you drove away from me again,
You departed once more.
Hit the road surrounded by your friends,
Left the situation with a group of friends.
And here's me alone and cursing you.
Expressing frustration and loneliness after your departure.
Here's me knowing you will
Awareness that you will eventually fade away.
Fade away if my plan works right this time
Hope that a plan will make you fade away successfully.
Fade away never mind just what we find.
Disregard for the consequences of what might be discovered in the process.
I always want this
Desire for the current situation to persist.
Its just so right
Feeling that the situation is just perfect.
We've gotta get on with it,
Encouragement to move forward despite the circumstances.
Cause you won't believe this night
You won't believe the significance of this night.
But you drove away from me again,
Repeat of your departure, highlighting the recurrence of the situation.
Here's me surrounded by your friends
Your friends are now around me, emphasizing the shift in dynamics.
There's you alone and terrified,
You are alone and feeling fear.
There's you hoping that I
You hope for something from me.
Fade away if my plan works right this time
Reiteration of the hope that a plan will make you fade away.
Fade away never mind just what we find
Reassurance that the discovered outcome doesn't matter.
Fade away if my plan works right this time
Repetition of the hope for a successful plan to make you fade away.
Fade away never mind just what we find
Reiteration of the indifference to what might be discovered.
Go and find yourself but don't look back at me
Suggesting you should find yourself without looking back.
Just take it it easy as I sit here and know you will
Encouragement to take it easy as the speaker acknowledges your inevitable fading.
Fade away if my plan works right this time
Reiteration of the hope that a plan will lead to your fading away.
Fade away never mind just what we find
Reiteration of the indifference to the discovered outcome.
Fade away if my plan works right this time
Once again, hope for a plan to successfully make you fade away.
Fade away never mind just what we find
Emphasizing the lack of concern for what might be found.
