Fade to Grey
(5х9) Visage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Devenir gris
One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Show fear as he turns to hide
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Un homme dans une gare isolée
Une valise a ses cotés
Des yeux fixes et froids
Montre de la peur lorsqu'il
Se tourne pour se cacher
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Sent la pluie comme un été Anglais
Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine
Sortant de derriere d'un poster
Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a back shop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long
Devenir gris
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Devenir gris
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Devenir gris
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Devenir gris
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
The song "Fade to Grey" by (5х9) Visage is a haunting tune that speaks of loneliness, fear, and longing for something that is elusive. The opening lines "One man on a lonely platform, One case sitting by his side, Two eyes staring cold and silent, Show fear as he turns to hide" paint a picture of a solitary figure on a train station with a sense of isolation and despair. The man is holding on to a suitcase as if it's the only thing he has left in this world, while his eyes reflect a deep-seated fear that makes him want to disappear.
The chorus of the song "Fade to grey" is repeated several times throughout the song, indicating the gradual disappearance of color and vibrancy from the man's life. The songwriter compares this fading to the grayness of life, where everything seems muted and dull, with no sparkle or excitement. There is an ongoing search for something that's been lost, a yearning for a life that is more fulfilling.
