Fade Away
Breaking Benjamin⠀ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's over I didn't want to see it come to this
I wonder if I will ever see your face again
And I know that I will find a way to shed my skin
It's simple I know that I will suffer in the end
Fast I fade away
Hold on
Slow I suffocate
I'm cold and broken
Alone
It's hopeless, the end will come and wash it all away
Forsaken, I live for those I lost along the way
And I can't remember how it all began to break
You suffer, I live to fight and die another day
Fast I fade away
It's almost over
Hold on
Slow I suffocate
I'm cold and broken
Alone
Fast I fade away
It's almost over
Hold on
Slow I suffocate
I'm cold and broken
Alone
I'm cold and broken
The lyrics to Breaking Benjamin's song "Fade Away" express the pain of a relationship's ending and the feelings of hopelessness and isolation that come with it. The singer in the song is clearly hurting, both emotionally and physically, as evidenced by the repeated line "I'm cold and broken." They also express the desire to move on and find a way to shed their old skin, but acknowledge that this will be a difficult and painful process.
The chorus of the song highlights the sense of urgency and desperation the singer feels as they try to hold on to what little they have left. The repeated use of the phrase "fast I fade away" creates a feeling of impending doom and finality, while the use of the word "suffocate" in the second half of the chorus adds an element of physical pain and struggle.
Overall, the lyrics to "Fade Away" paint a vivid picture of the emotional turmoil and physical pain that can come with the end of a relationship. Despite the darkness and despair in the song, however, there is also a sense of inner strength and resilience that shines through in the singer's determination to keep fighting and survive another day.

I want you by my side
So that I never feel alone again
They've always been so kind
But now they've brought you away from here
I hope they didn't get your mind
Your heart is too strong anyway
We need to fetch back the time
They have stolen from us
And I want you
We can bring it on the floor
You've never danced like this before
We don't talk about it
Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it
And I want you
We can bring it on the floor
You've never danced like this before
We don't talk about it
Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it
Shouldn't talk about it
Coldest winter for me
No sun is shining anymore
The only thing I feel is pain
Caused by absence of you
Suspense is controlling my mind
I cannot find the way out of here
I want you by my side
So that I never feel alone again
And I want you
We can bring it on the floor
You've never danced like this before
We don't talk about it
Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it
And I want you
We can bring it on the floor
You've never danced like this before
We don't talk about it
Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it
Shouldn't talk about it
And I want you
We can bring it on the floor
You've never danced like this before
We don't talk about it
Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it
Shouldn't talk about it
