Fading Flame
Alazka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By all I couldn't foresee
A fading flame
Dying at the end of the day
I'm starting to sing
Of what could have been
It wasn't supposed to end this way
All we take for granted
All the absence of fear
Fading fast wearing out our lives
There won't be another chance
We've given everything
Not enough this time
There's no reason to pretend
No happy end
Now we're hanging by a thread
Believing that the cycle never ends
Grieving in regret
Look up to the sky
This time I can't deny
I can't pretend
This is not a certain end
And so we sing
Of fate, how it should have been
We're going down with our head held high
Yeah!
I know that our time has come
For the other side
We're going down
But we'll perish in style
Fading fast wearing out our lives
There won't be another chance
We've given everything
Not enough this time
There's no reason to pretend
No happy end
(No happy end)
Fading fast, wearing out our lives
There won't be another chance
(Fading fast)
We've given everything
Not enough this time
There's no reason to pretend
No happy end
We're fading fast
We've come a long way
And I won't pretend
A happy end
The lyrics to Alazka's song "Fading Flame" depict a sense of resignation and acceptance of an inevitable ending. The first verse speaks of being brought down to one's knees by unforeseen circumstances and the metaphor of a fading flame dying at the end of the day. This symbolizes the gradual decline and extinguishing of a once vibrant and passionate aspect of life.
The second verse delves into the regret and reflection on what could have been. The singer realizes that things were not meant to end in this way and laments the loss. The chorus emphasizes the fleeting nature of life and the absence of second chances. The line "Not enough this time, there's no reason to pretend, no happy end" conveys a sense of acceptance that despite their efforts, the outcome will not be a happy one.
The bridge of the song introduces a glimmer of hope as the singer looks up to the sky and realizes that they cannot deny the certainty of the end. They sing of fate and how things should have been, but acknowledge that they are going down with their head held high, choosing to face the impending demise with dignity.
Overall, "Fading Flame" encapsulates the themes of resignation, reflection, and acceptance of an unwelcome end.

The entirety of the album comes to this conclusion, an Album about Love, separation, doubt, heartbreak one not wanting to hurt the other...No Happy End.
