Fade
Carla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some bridges are built to be cut across
some others just to be knocked down
And while I wonder what are you looking for
You've crossed my bridge
Think we've met here before

As I look into your eyes
Deeper is the compromise
As I look into his eyes
Compromise fades away
fades away

He's inside my mouth
he's inside my head
He's inside my mouth
He's inside my head





Those words mean more
than I expect them to mean

Overall Meaning

In Carla's song "Fade," the lyrics touch upon themes of bridges, connections, and the internal struggles within a relationship. The opening lines, "Some bridges are built to be cut across, some others just to be knocked down," suggests the vulnerability and fragility of certain relationships. While some bridges are meant to be easily crossed or broken, others require more effort and resilience.


The next line, "And while I wonder what are you looking for, you've crossed my bridge, think we've met here before," reflects the singer's curiosity about the intentions of their partner and the sense of déjà vu they feel in this relationship. It implies that they have been through similar situations or encounters in the past.


The chorus, "As I look into your eyes, deeper is the compromise, as I look into his eyes, compromise fades away, fades away," explores the complexity of compromise within the relationship. The singer acknowledges that the deeper they look into their partner's eyes, the more they are willing to compromise. However, when they look into someone else's eyes, possibly a third person, the compromise vanishes, indicating a conflicting desire or attraction outside the current relationship.


The last lines, "He's inside my mouth, he's inside my head, he's inside my mouth, he's inside my head. Those words mean more than I expect them to mean," suggest that there is an internal struggle within the singer. The presence of someone else in their thoughts and emotions has a profound impact on them, surpassing their initial expectations or intentions.


Overall, "Fade" delves into the complexities of relationships, the doubts and conflicts that arise, and the internal battles that can ensue when faced with temptation or the possibility of a connection with someone else.
