Fading
Benjah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm drowing in my tears but now I'm dry
No more left, to cry
On my own, I'm the only one to blame
I know my pride brought much pain
And I know we went wrong, I never gave that real love
Is it wrong to wanna see the sun come up?
In the morning let it shine
Girl, your fading
Fading
Girl, your fading, fading away
Girl, your fading, now I'm fading
Girl, your fading, fading away
(Couldn't talk, you couldn't talk)
Fading away (couldn't talk to me)
(You couldn't talk)
Fading away
In the night, you always come around
But then you hide 'till u sip that wine
Then we fight
Cause you let out all the hurt that you've held in
Keep in your mind
I just want you to be yourself
But you scared I won't want you
Is it wrong to wanna see the sun come up?
In the morning let it shine
Girl, your fading
Fading
Girl, your fading, fading away
Girl, your fading, now I'm fading
Girl, your fading, fading away
(Couldn't talk, you couldn't talk)
Fading away (couldn't talk to me)
(You couldn't talk)
Fading away
You had a tough life
I see it in your eyes, yea
But you can learn to overcome
I see the deeper pain, so easy to blame, yea
But you can learn to love again
Girl, your fading
Fading
Girl, your fading, fading away
Girl, your fading, now I'm fading
Girl, your fading, fading away
(Couldn't talk, you couldn't talk)
Fading away (couldn't talk to me)
(You couldn't talk)
Fading away
(Fading far apart, fading away)
(Why we fading far apart, fading away)
(Fading far apart, fading away)
(Why we fading far apart, fading away)
The song "Fading" by Benjah is a reflection on a relationship that is falling apart due to the lack of genuine communication and real love. The singer is feeling alone and drowning in his own tears, but also acknowledges that it is his pride that brought much pain to the relationship. He has accepted that they went wrong and that he didn't give enough love. He wonders if it's wrong to want to see the sun come up and shine again after the night of darkness. The girl in the relationship is fading away, hiding behind her wine and unable to communicate her hurt until it's too late. The singer wants her to be herself and overcome the deeper pain that she's holding on to. He believes that she can learn to love again and overcome the pain.
The lyrics highlight the importance of communication, acknowledging the hurt that someone is feeling, and giving real love in a relationship. The song is a reminder that relationships require effort and it takes two people to make it work. The singer is pleading for the girl to not fade away and to show her true self but also acknowledging that he too is fading away.
The song has a slow and sad tone, the use of minor chords to evoke the somber mood of the song. The repetition of the lyrics "Girl, your fading, fading away" emphasizes the sadness felt by the singer and the desperate need to not let the relationship fade away any further.

Sometimes I don't know where I'm headed
Sometimes I don't know where I'm going
Sometimes If I'm who you love
Why don't you
Come out an say it
To keep it on the real
Temptation is a skill
Apprerates unveil
Instinct love prevails
Beneath hearts ups the
Beat best at times
Advise on time
Envy solutions
Rascal Reddick's
Passion tipsy
Versus none lines
Heavy loaded
Rotation
Single coded
Breathed mottled
Former in an out
Hearts larks
Sparks tangos
Narcs
Unsettled
Habits become unstable
Shit I been through
Got me involved
With what I cant settle with
If were to the same
Tell me
You can
Also there holding on
Love me
Any Sunday
Like a two way
Sometimes it's nice
Other days have us
Running away from
Somethings
Some days
We are
If ur to ask me
Does that mean were
Together
Trying to say
Are you mine
Or I'm I losing my mind
Wonders start to speak
Lies
I could not understand why
Our body's at night
Has this fight
Kept it going on
Ain't no other
I rather love
Don't take it personal
The best is yet to come
I loveΒ you You're not understanding
Disappointing
I'm in love with you
Nothing else I can say than
What it's like without ur love itsΒ just reality an I cant imagine bringing it to the table
Everything was fine
Until now
What it be like
Being invisible to ur eyes
When there's nothing there
I try to hold on I do this for my city
Im all in
Statement plea tha
5th
Convicts
no turning back
Shuffles deck of cards
Tight fit
TablesΒ turn
Behind enemy lines
Scuffles off sight
Workers on the main yard
cuffs hard as steel
Hands barred
Gas chambers
another mad man
Rattles top of the food chain mandos intervention
Inverts into a
T shrist contast
Contract over wet slepted
Techs pick up dial tone lost text number read
Mouth closed teeth fed
Not a thing said
I do this for my city
projects
Converstations
Speaking downs hands up aint no telling
What im up against unpredictable
no turning back
Esle wear
Fuck it though
Never be the same again
Ive got tired
OfΒ these
Picture up on the wall
Having to see
What We once had
Though you put me though hell
I cant lie
This Love iΒ have for you
Is one of a kind
the one
That said there cant
Be noone for me
To love if u were to
Leave myside
I should of known
When it was us
Nobody can have
Once again
Here we are arguing
Back an forth
For the last time
Dont have to hold ur breath
All the fights
All the wrongs
All the rights
What is there to do
When u walked out on
My love Every day
Ur love is
insight
Don't know where to run
Potion
Like a scent of perfume
stageΒ lights
Dancing with me
was fine
my love for you
able to know
what you want
Β knowingΒ you can be
the best thing
it's not about your feelings or your emotions
your personality
you want it
Β again
becauseΒ when you're in love
with somebody who doesn't wantΒ to feel like
you'reΒ with
someone when It hard to walk away
From ur love
If I'm all what you say
Than tell me w6it it's like
Being without you
An without me
Tell me
See now that were not
Here we are
Better than then
Before
I don't know
If this is what we want
But the same time
You drive me crazy
I try
Yet between us
Gots us on an on
Having something
We were
