A Day That Fades
Cosmic Gate feat. Roxanne Emery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then we're leaving
One more move
The curtain falls
Yet our final destination
Is unknown
One more shelter
One more tear
When love moves on
Yet our simple exhalation
Still shows
No
Don't want to face goodbye
Until tomorrow
Don't wanna look into
The eyes of
A day that fades
One more night
Before the dawning
One more change
For us to get there
Yet I know this adoration
It will pass
One more time
I'll hear you stories
One more tine
I'll tell you mine
Yet underneath this
Conversation
We both know
No
Our hearts still feel
Connected
And ending might reveal
Because there's no tomorrow
So let us make believe

The curtain is about to fall and the final destination is unknown. The chorus reveals the fear of facing goodbye, of looking into the eyes of a day that fades. The day symbolizes the end of the relationship, and the fading represents the sadness of that ending.
The second verse builds on the first, with the idea of one more night to spend together before the upcoming dawn, one more change that might help them reach the destination. The lyrics suggest that they both know their love will pass, yet they continue with one more conversation, one more time to share their stories. But underneath it all, there is a knowledge that the end is coming, with the realization that they will not end up together.
The bridge of the song discusses how their hearts are still connected, but the ending will reveal the truth that there might not be a tomorrow for their love. The final lines of the song "So let us make believe" are poignant yet hopeful. The singer suggests that they can pretend and hold on to their love for just a little longer, even though they both know it is going to end.
Overall, the song A Day That Fades encapsulates the feeling of a love that is ending, with the sadness and inevitability of that ending. The lyrics leave a sense of longing and the hopeful idea that even though love fades, it can be held on to for a little bit longer through make-believe.

To listen to each other's stories one last time
One more tine
One more occasion
I'll tell you mine
To share our own stories

Despite this seemingly normal conversation
Conversation
Our real feelings remain unspoken
We both know
We understand the reality of our situation
No
We cannot change what is destined to happen
Our hearts still feel
We are both still emotionally connected to each other
Connected
Our feelings for each other are still present
And ending might reveal
The conclusion to our time together may bring about new revelations
Because there's no tomorrow
As there is no guarantee of a future together
So let us make believe
Let us pretend and enjoy our time together, as if we have a tomorrow
