FADE AWAY
Another Animal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hated...oblivious to your disgrace
Hollow...forced inside this empty hole
Swallow to die again
But I won't fade away
I won't fade away
Feels like I'm fade away
Wasted...all the years are left behind
Fated...obscured by the passing time
One day...a light will shine
Along the way
Maybe...I'll walk the line
But I won't fade away
I won't fade away
Feels like I'm fade away
It's like I'm fade away
But I won't fade away
I won't fade away
Feels like I'm fade away
It's like I'm fade away
