Fade
Blue Angel (Cyndi Lauper) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I'm walkin' down your street
I sense a silent shuffle to my heartbeat
Why cry, I'll just fade
Fade you away

I watch your window from the street
I guess I'll etch a vision in my daydreams of you
Of you, of you, but you

Never thought I'd be so proud,
But I will never live without you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, fade




Fade you away, I will fade, fade you away
I think I'm walkin' down your street

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blue Angel's "Fade" describe someone confessing that they are still haunted by a lost love, even though they know that they should move on. The singer explains how they still sense their former lover's presence on the street where they used to live, and how they can't help but watch their window from the street. They express their sorrow through a longing to "fade you away," as if they can't bear to be reminded of their love any longer. But despite their attempts to move on, they find that they can't forget their former partner; the song ends with the singer repeating that they will never be able to fade away their memory of the lost love.


The lyrics to "Fade" are full of heartbreak and longing, as the singer grapples with the aftermath of a failed relationship. The lyrics can be seen as a meditation on the way that past relationships can continue to haunt us, even after we have moved on. The song's use of imagery - the sense that the singer can still feel their former lover's presence in the street, for example - is particularly effective in conveying the intensity of the singer's feelings. Ultimately, the song suggests that there is no easy way to forget a love that has been lost.

I love this album, bought this when came out, in the past 40 yrs it disappeared. Cyndi Lauper was an unknown, until she left this group and went solo, the rest is history. Thanks so much, none of the streaming services have it. Except for YouTube obviously.

@danielkatzel895

this album was one of my greatest accidental finds back in '82 in a used record store - knew right away that her incredible range would lead to stardom
