Fade Away
Fade Away: Embracing the Inevitable Journey of Letting Go
Lyrics
People keep pretending
People are pretending
That an end will never come
They believe the end will never come
Closing eyes and staring at the sun
Closing eyes and avoiding reality by staring at the sun
So tell me what I want to hear
Asking for comforting words
To keep the things I fear inside
Desiring reassurance to conceal inner fears
Another sinking stone
Referring to a sinking feeling or struggle
Falling deep below the tide
Sinking deeper into a difficult situation
You can come and stay
Inviting someone to stay
for the fade away
For the inevitable fading away
Nothing left to take
Nothing left to possess or acquire
now we fade away, oh no
Acknowledging the process of fading away
My head is overflowing
Feeling overwhelmed in the mind
But my heart is running dry
The emotional heart is becoming empty
But I can learn to love you if I try
Expressing a willingness to learn to love
There's somewhere far away
Referring to a distant place
Some peace of mind they say awaits
Where peace of mind is said to be found
But I am only man
Admitting human limitations
There's pieces that I can't escape
Struggling with inescapable aspects of life
You can come and stay
Invitation to stay during the fading away
for the fade away
Reference to the fading process
Nothing left to take
Nothing remains to be taken or claimed
now we fade away, oh no
Reiteration of the fading away process
I'll fade away
Personal commitment to fading away
Here and today
Present and acknowledging the fading away
Now it's coming
Acknowledging the arrival of a change
I feel nothing
Expressing a lack of emotional response
