Fade Away
Fading Away: Embracing Individuality and Escaping Life's Illusions
Lyrics
Keep on playing me I'm not a toy
Expressing a desire not to be treated as a mere object or manipulated.
I'm different from everyone else
Emphasizing individuality and uniqueness compared to others.
Lies are what you believe in
Pointing out a reliance on falsehoods or deception.
Promises that you'll never keep
Criticizing unfulfilled promises and commitments.
Don't tell me stories of your pastimes glories
Rejecting nostalgic tales of past achievements that have lost significance.
They've faded away with the sun
Highlighting the fading nature of past glories with time.
Faded away
Reiterating the theme of things fading away, perhaps relationships or memories.
I'm flying high above the gray
Conveying a sense of elevation and detachment from mundane concerns.
See it on the floor beneath my feet
Observing a situation from a higher perspective, detached from immediate concerns.
Can't control what's out of my hands
Acknowledging a lack of control over certain aspects of life.
The river looks so deep and I don't want to swim
Expressing reluctance to engage in challenging or undesirable situations.
In the muddy waters that you offer me
Rejecting involvement in murky or undesirable circumstances presented by others.
I'm not going to waste no more of the good life
Committing to avoid wasting time on negative aspects of life.
Watching you fade away
Observing the gradual disappearance or deterioration of someone or something.
Hands on a watch
Symbolizing the passage of time using the metaphor of hands on a watch.
Turn like the wheels on a train
Comparing the turning of hands on a watch to the wheels of a train, emphasizing continuity.
And the days turn to weeks
Highlighting the monotonous progression of time.
The months seem the same
Noting the repetitive nature of months, suggesting a lack of change or progress.
Look at all the bullshit that surrounds me
Expressing frustration with the negative aspects of the surrounding environment.
Plastic people different countries
Criticizing superficiality and uniformity in people from different cultures.
Speak different words
Highlighting the similarity in life approach among diverse individuals.
They're all the same life for them is just a game
Perceiving life as a game for some, lacking genuine depth or meaning.
I want a way out but I'm stuck here
Expressing a desire for escape from an undesirable situation.
I need an excuse to be myself again
Desiring justification to reclaim one's true identity and self.
How long will I have to wait just fading away
Impatiently waiting for a resolution or change while fading away.
Faded away
Reiterating the theme of gradual disappearance or loss.
I'm sitting in the back because it's where I belong
Accepting a passive role, acknowledging a sense of belonging in the background.
I don't say anything just try to get along
Choosing to stay silent and maintain harmony, avoiding conflict.
On to the runway to catch another plane
Indicating a transition or journey to return to one's true self.
I'm going back home to be myself again
Expressing a desire to go home and rediscover authenticity.
