Fade to Grey
Capsize Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything changed
I'm breathing after all, just waiting to wake up
But I'm still left shaking
Is this a dream or is this real
Still lost in question
Of what to feel
Tear down the walls
Or build them taller than ever
I'm still lost as fucking ever
Everyone I know is changing
My life is rearranging
Please take me far from this place
To never return

Building bridges over mental scars
Our lives could end tonight
Give me the comfort to still feel alive
Building bridges over mental scars
Our lives could end tonight
Give me the comfort to still feel alive
I'll never feel alive

Catch these dreams of failure
and give warmth to my white knuckle fears
Tones of grey
Shade the days
I'm getting past the moats I've dug into my floor

Just wake me up, 'cause I can't take this anymore

And everything I question
Just confuses me so much deeper
Oh, will the answers
Become clearer?





So we forever anchor our ankles,
Let us drown in love.

Overall Meaning

The song "Fade to Grey" by Capsize is a powerful and poignant depiction of the confusion and turmoil that comes when life feels like it is constantly changing. The lyrics speak to the experience of feeling lost and uncertain, unsure whether to tear down the walls or build them even taller. The metaphor of building bridges over mental scars is particularly striking, suggesting that healing is possible but requires effort and vigilance. The song's refrain, "Our lives could end tonight, give me the comfort to still feel alive," speaks to the fear of mortality and the desire to find meaning and purpose in life in spite of it all. Ultimately, the song offers a sense of hope and a recognition that while answers may not be easy to come by, moving forward is still possible if we allow ourselves to build the bridges we need to cross our mental scars.


Line by Line Meaning

Everything changed
The world around me transformed


I'm breathing after all, just waiting to wake up
I'm alive, but unsure if this is reality


But I'm still left shaking
Yet I'm filled with fear


Is this a dream or is this real
Uncertainty fills my mind


Still lost in question
I'm confused and seeking answers


Of what to feel
Unsure of how to respond emotionally


Tear down the walls
Break free from self-imposed limitations


Or build them taller than ever
Or further isolate myself from the world


I'm still lost as fucking ever
I'm still aimless and confused


Everyone I know is changing
Those around me are evolving


My life is rearranging
My existence is undergoing a transformation


Please take me far from this place
Remove me from this location


To never return
And let me never come back


Building bridges over mental scars
Overcoming emotional pain


Our lives could end tonight
Our existence may conclude at any time


Give me the comfort to still feel alive
Provide me some solace to survive


I'll never feel alive
I may never really feel alive


Catch these dreams of failure
Acknowledging the potential for failure


and give warmth to my white knuckle fears
Provide support in moments of anxiety


Tones of grey
The world seems dull


Shade the days
Days blend together without much distinction


I'm getting past the moats I've dug into my floor
Slowly overcoming personal obstacles


Just wake me up, 'cause I can't take this anymore
I'd prefer to be removed from the current state of affairs


And everything I question
Current uncertainties


Just confuses me so much deeper
Further obscures the situation


Oh, will the answers
Hopeful for a resolution


Become clearer?
Is there any chance for a clear resolution?


So we forever anchor our ankles,
We bind ourselves to certain people or things


Let us drown in love.
Embracing love and accepting the consequences
