Fade Away
Ashes Remain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I get so afraid,
Or paranoid by the things I say.
I've been know to lose my way.
That's when I fall down again.

Sometimes things get so messed up,
I start sinking in the mud.
You reach down and pick me up.
Dream ahead and fill my cup.

I fade away...

I fade away...

I'm not myself today.
(And I feel great)
I'm in your will today.
(Of guiding grace)
We've only got today.
(One foot in the grave)
Tomorrow'll come.
The sun will shine.
Life goes on.
As we all fade away...

Sometimes I get tossed around.
I find my head inside a cloud.
Silence is the perfect sound,
Perfect piece of mind you've found.

I fade away...

I fade away...

I'm not myself today.
(And I feel great)
I'm in your will today.
(Of guiding grace)
We've only got today.
(One foot in the grave)
Tomorrow'll come.
The sun will shine.
Life goes on.
As we all fade away...

Oh, take us away yeah

I'm not myself today.
(And I feel great)
I'm in your will today.
(Of guiding grace)
We've only got today.
(One foot in the grave)
Tomorrow'll come.
The sun will shine.
Life goes on.
As we all fade away...





As we all fade away...

The lyrics to the best first song of a band ever made:
Sometimes I get so afraid
I'm paranoid by the things I say
I've been known to lose my way
That's when I fall down and pray

Sometimes things get so messed up
I start sinking in the mud
You reach down and pick me up
Drain my head and fill my cup

I fade away
I fade away

I'm not myself today
And I feel great
I'm in your will today
I've got it made
We've only got today
One foot in the grave
Tomorrow'll come
The sun will shine
Life goes on
As we all fade away

Sometimes I get tossed around
I find my head inside a cloud
Silence is the perfect sound
In the piece of God you've found

I fade away
I fade away

I'm not myself today
And I feel great
I'm in your will today
I've got it made
We've only got today
One foot in the grave
Tomorrow'll come
The sun will shine
Life goes on
As we all fade away

Oh, take us away yeah

I'm not myself today
And I feel great
I'm in your will today
I've got it made
We've only got today
One foot in the grave
Tomorrow'll come
The sun will shine
Life goes on
As we all fade away
We all fade away
