Fades Away
Avicii Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All of the troubled times that we have overcome
All of the trials to find somewhere that we belong
All I know is that with you I'm holdin' on
'Cause all of the days out, all of the days out on the run

Don't you love it, how it all just fades away?
When you're close, don't fear the songs of yesterday
And I can't go back, and I can't go back
Don't you love it, how it all, it all just fades away?
It all just fades away

All of the tracks we traced, we raced to reach the sun
All of the lights to find the place where we belong
All I know is that with you I'm movin' on
'Cause all of the days out, all of the days out on the run

And I can't go back, and I can't go back
Don't you love it, how it all, it all just fades away?

It all just fades away
It all just fades away
It all just fades away





And I can't go back and I can't go back
Don't you love it, how it all, it all just fades away?

Overall Meaning

In Avicii's song "Fades Away," the lyrics depict the journey of overcoming obstacles and finding one's place in the world with someone they love. The song begins with acknowledging the troubled times they have overcome and the trials they faced to find a place where they belong. The songwriter then emphasizes that holding onto the person they love is the key to holding on during tumultuous times.


The chorus is where the verse's themes are articulated most profoundly. The lyrics suggest that everything will eventually fade away, including the memories and challenges they encountered along the way. The songwriter assures us that when we're close to our loved ones, there is no need to fear the past or anything that had happened before. But we can't go back and change anything, yet we can embrace how it all fades away.


The last verse talks about their journey to the sun and finding their place in this world. No matter where they go, they know that they always are going to move forward with the person they love. As the song comes to an end, the choruses repeat the lyrics "it all just fades away," emphasizing the importance of cherishing every moment as we move forward.

The days and The nights since youve passed away have been hard
It was just like Broken Arrows in the dark

So Wake me Up when its all over

[Verse 1]
All of the troubled times that we have overcome
All of the trials to find somewhere that we belong
All I know is that, with you, I'm holding on
'Cause all of the days out, all of the days out on the run

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you love it? How it all just fades away
When your clothes don't feel the songs of yesterday
And I can't go back, and I can't go back
Don't you love it? How it all, it all just fades away

[Chorus]
It all just fades away

[Verse 2]
All of the tracks we traced, we raced to reach the sun
All of the lights to find a place where we belong
All I know is that, with you, I'm moving on
'Cause all of the days out, all of the days out on the run

[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't go back, and I can't go back
Don't you love it? How it all, it all just fades away

[Chorus]
It all just fades away
It all just fades away
It all just fades away
It all just fades away

[Outro]
And I can't go back and I can't go back
Don't you love it? How it all, it all just fades away
