Fade
Catch Your Breath Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Locked inside my mind
All alone and I can't break free
Save me, save me
From myself
Why, why can't my mind fight
Patiently building
I guess I'll be lost forever
Run get away break free
I don't wanna be lost forever

This is all that left of my life
This is all that left of me

Fade away again to my dark place
Trapped inside my own skin
I guess I'm just to weak
My demons follow me
They watch as I
Fade to nothing

I open up my eyes
But what the point there's no end in sight
Save me, save me
From this hell

Where has all hope gone
I guess I've lost touch
But I'll wait for my redemption
Now is this it
The end
There's no redemption
This is all that's left of my life
This is all that left of me

Fade away again to my dark place
Trapped inside my own skin
I guess I'm just to weak
My demons follow me
They watch as I
Fade to nothing

I can't escape it
The voices in my head
Why won't they leave me alone
And just leave me for dead

Fade away again
Fade away again

Fade away again to my dark place
Trapped inside my own skin
I guess I'm just to weak
My demons follow me
They watch as I




Fade to nothing
Fade to nothing

Overall Meaning

The song "Fade" by Catch Your Breath is a powerful representation of the ongoing struggle with mental illness. The lyrics convey a sense of being trapped and alone in one's own mind, with no escape or hope for redemption. The opening lines, "Locked inside my mind, all alone and I can't break free, save me, save me from myself," reveal the feelings of desperation and helplessness that often accompany depression and anxiety.


The second verse of the song continues to paint a bleak picture of the singer's mental state as he describes being "trapped inside [his] own skin" and feeling too weak to fight off the demons that follow him. He even questions whether there is any hope for redemption, or if this is the end.


The chorus of the song, with its repetition of the phrase "fade away again to my dark place," adds to the feeling of hopelessness and despair that permeates the entire song. The line "my demons follow me, they watch as I fade to nothing" lays bare the struggle to keep going, even as one's own thoughts and emotions seem to be dragging them down.


Overall, "Fade" is a heartfelt and powerful representation of the often-overlooked struggle with mental illness. It is a reminder that no one is alone in their struggles, and that even in the darkest moments, there is always hope for a better tomorrow.
