Fade Away
BLAHSUM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is one of the most important things in life
Yet, we don′t think about it much
Except for when we're outside of the group
Wanting to belong (Woah! Man freaked out!)
Well you can′t do this
(Right now yeah!)
(You know how much I sacrificed?!)
I need you out of my head
It's a nightmare that never ends
Where's my friends? They′re all dead
I cried for thirty-nine nights
I danced with the devil in the pale moonlight twice
And lived to tell about it
Third time was the charm
Welcome to hell, you got it
There′ll be peace in the valley one day
That's what they all say
Until then, I′ll be on my way
Indivisible the wages are unlivable (Okay)
Drunk and tired, uninspired
Ripped tissues, cold virgins
The little machine that makes you feel
My heart's pumping, the cars merging
God′s eyes beaming, burning
Big old "Big Gulp" cup with the dog urine
You think you fed up, just a cog in it
You're getting old (Oh), you′re losing it
I'm in the mold, as you live
To fade away was a fatal mistake
The never go back land, I'll never go back man
How much of me is fake?
Ask my blunt if it hits, man
That party was pretty gnarly, lit man
I′m wasting away in some type of hell
What you in for, for trying to escape yourself
(He′s gone crazy!)
(He's got the space madness!)
BLAHSUM's song Fade Away delves into the human desire to belong and be accepted. The lyrics stress the importance of respect and affection from others in our lives. Though we may not think about it often, we crave these feelings, especially when we feel ostracized from society. The song speaks of feelings of loneliness and desperation, with the artist wishing he were dead, struggling to get someone out of his head and living a nightmare that never seems to end. He alludes to his time spent dealing with addiction and the consequent toll it took on his body, mental state and relationships.

Yet we don't think about it much except when we're outside of the group, wanting to belong
Woah, mad freakout

I danced with the devil in the pale moonlight twice
And lived to tell about it
