Fading Away
Embracing Life's Journey: "Fading Away" by Summer Salt
Lyrics
Today came at me
Feeling overwhelmed or confronted by today's events
I was thinking of taking it away
Contemplating the idea of ending one's life
Life
Reflecting on life
Fools gold
Referring to something that seems valuable but is actually worthless or deceptive
I was thinking of fading away
Considering the option of disappearing or losing oneself
Hanging by a chance
Living with uncertainty or unpredictability
Skipping down the streets of the barrio
Enjoying carefree moments in the neighborhood
Waiting
Anticipating something significant
For a life on the set I was praying
Hoping for a life portrayed in a scripted or idealized manner
To be staying
Desiring to remain in that idealized life
Going back and forth
Experiencing indecision or hesitation
Chasing down a fuse for the stereo
Searching for music to enhance the experience
Lighting my fire
Igniting passion or motivation
Looking for a way to get back home
Seeking a way to return to a familiar place
If I get back to life
Expressing readiness for a renewed life
I will be ready
Preparedness for a fresh start
I will begin again
Commitment to beginning anew
All of my life I have been dreaming
Lifetime spent dreaming
So boy I get it
Acknowledging understanding or agreement
Oh my ghost
Reference to a lingering presence of the past
My love is a radio
Love compared to a persistent radio signal
Gone with lies
Loss associated with deception or falsehood
I was thinking of fading away
Revisiting thoughts of disappearing or losing oneself
When life keeps catching up
Life's challenges catching up with the individual
I'll be thinking bout
Reflecting on life during moments of difficulty
All my life I've waited
Longing for a specific awaited moment
For this moment to chew
Waiting for the anticipated moment to unfold
I was living nocturne
Living a nighttime lifestyle
I was up in my room
Engaging in personal activities in one's room
I was slipping out tunes
Creating and sharing music
And I cry cry cry
Expressing emotional distress through crying
Lonely back home
Feeling isolated upon returning home
Down the only back road
Navigating through a familiar but solitary path
Through the hallway soon
Progressing through life's journey
I will fly fly fly
Expressing the desire to soar or escape
