Fade Away
Eternal Dance of Love: The Farewell Friend's 'Fade Away' Story
Lyrics
Oh darling come, and dance along
Invitation for a dance and shared experience
The wind beneath our feet
Symbolic reference to support and stability
It swings and sways through all our days
Describing the rhythmic flow of life's journey
Embraces you and me
Expressing a shared embrace between the speaker and the listener
The streetlight is our spotlight
Symbolism of a streetlight as a shared focus or moment
And time just stays a while
Reflection on the passing of time
For you and I, until we die
Commitment to each other until death
Won't let each other go
Promise to hold onto the relationship
I found you seven years ago
Discovery of the partner seven years ago
Compelled but couldn't speak
Feeling compelled but unable to express emotions
I dreamt of what we could become
Dreaming about the potential of their relationship
One life, just you and me
Desire for a shared life with the partner
I heard you say the world's changed
Acknowledgment of the changing world
And now I see it's true
Realization of the truth in the partner's words
But even so, I hope you know
Commitment to remaining the same for the partner
I'll stay the same for you
Promise of constancy in the speaker's character
I know one day we'll fade away
Acknowledgment of the eventual fading away of life
Our bodies disappear
Recognition of the transient nature of physical existence
But in between, our love will bring
Belief in the enduring power of love between them
A life of countless years
Hope for a life filled with shared experiences
We lay at night, hands held tight
Intimate moments shared in the darkness of night
As I await your smile
Anticipation of the partner's comforting smile
Well, honey, I, until we die
Commitment to lying beside the partner until death
Will lie here all the while
Extended commitment to stay together
