Fading Away
Circle of Grief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But somehow it all went totally wrong
You have left my life
My soul cries out, I'm left alone
And see...
As the night devours all the light of day
And see...
I'm drowning, I'm dying, I'm fading away
I'm leaving this world, I am fading away
I'm drowning, I'm dying, I'm fading away
I'm leaving this world, I am fading away
I am drowning in sorrow
Lost the will to live one more day
Suffering in this world
I wish my life was fading away
I promised you my love
Till the very end of all times
But you broke my heart
Filled with grief I'm left here to die
I see...
How the blood is running slowly down my arms
I feel..
How death is longing for my broken heart
I'm drowning, I'm dying, I'm fading away
I'm leaving this world, I am fading away
I'm drowning, I'm dying, I'm fading away
I'm leaving this world, I am fading away
I'm drowning, I'm dying, I'm fading away
I'm leaving this world, I am fading away
I'm drowning, I'm dying, I'm fading away
I'm leaving this world, I am fading away
I'm drowning, I'm dying, I'm bleeding, I'm fading,
I'm leaving this world, now I'm fading away
I'm drowning, I'm dying, I'm bleeding, I'm fading,
I'm leaving this world, now I'm fading away
I'm drowning, I'm dying, I'm fading away
I'm leaving this world, I am fading away
I'm drowning, I'm dying, I'm fading away
I'm leaving this world, I am fading away
The lyrics to Circle of Grief's song "Fading Away" convey a sense of loss, heartbreak, and despair. The singer is reflecting on a relationship that has gone wrong and left them feeling alone and hopeless.

However, something has changed, and the singer is now consumed by grief and a sense that their life is slowly fading away.
As the song continues, the imagery becomes darker and more disturbing. The singer describes themselves as drowning, dying, and bleeding, using physical sensations to express their emotional pain.

The repeated refrain of "I'm leaving this world, I am fading away" reinforces this idea and creates a haunting, melancholy atmosphere.

Ich finde die Band auch einfach nur spitze, episch und zum auspowern gleichzeitig, wenn man mitshoutet. (Okay, ich bin nicht so gut wie Markus (der Sänger), aber ich versuch's halt immer wieder *g*). Das ist genau meine Musik! CoG verdient es echt erfolgreich zu sein. Ich habe selten eine Band mit so viel Potenzial gehört. For all english speaking ppl here: This band simply needs to to get a well-paid contract, they're awesome!

@ seth rox: ich war der Drummer der Band CIRCLE OF GRIEF - es freut mich, dass nach so langer Zeit soviele positive Kommentare noch zu lesen sind. Ich hab noch einige "ENTER THE GALLERY" Cds rumliegen im Keller - bei Interesse einfach eine NAchricht an mich.
Aber ich muss trotzdem was klarstellen - der Sänger war Markus Schnittka (Growls, 2. Clean Voice) und meinereiner (Leadvocals) . Ein Herr Blondke hat weder am ersten noch am zweiten Album gesanglich mitgewirkt.
