Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel like its sum wrong wit me my soul is in decay
Got another day fore i rest in peace
Feel like im locked up in a cage i kno ill neva change
Jus a mockingjay neva living free
Had a lotta time to pray a lotta things to say
For my family and my enemies
Sometimes I wanna take my life just let my soul fade away
Motherfuck everybody quick to looking down on me
I'm on my lonely by myself feel like i need to medicate
Die a legend living as nobody cuz people fake
Deez haters wanna hope on ya wave as soon they think u straight
Feeling like the notorious b.i.g aint no debate
No second chances all over life got me feeling like im so lost
I'm so lost tryna see the light before its closed off
This anxiety killin me tryna hold on
Put hollow tips in my Nogen and then i doze off
Feel like its time to fade away i hear the 808 let this 38 be the death of me
Feel like its sum wrong wit me my soul is in decay
Got another day fore i rest in peace
Feel like im locked up in a cage i kno ill neva change
Jus a mockingjay neva living free
Had a lotta time to pray a lotta things to say for my family and enemies
Got the reaper aiming at my tummy seconds fore im done
I asked the lord to drop me dead im guessing he the only one
Go bananas wit my pencil while my mental need the gun
Can't talk to niggaz no solution no advice can bring me up
Closed off introverted always been a fragile nigga
Stressing everyday I feel like seeing god at every minute
Show my love to everybody that gave me support relentless
I mind my business say fuck the world cuz I'm different
Niggaz pushed out me out I could neva fit in
All this hate behind my back can't see where love will begin
At the end of the road cut it short wit my friends
I got the devil inside my body I'm giving in
Feel like it's time to fade away
I hear the 808 let this 38 be the death of me
Feel like it's sum wrong wit me my soul is in decay
Got another day fore I rest in peace
Feel like in locked up in a cage I kno I'll never change
Just a mockingjay never living free
Had a lotta time to pray a lotta things to say for my family and my enemies
Think it's time to fade away
I hear the 808 let this 38 be the death of me
Feel like it's sum wrong wit me my soul is in decay
Got another day fore I rest in peace
Feel like in locked up in a cage I kno I'll never change
Just a mockingjay never living free
Had a lotta time to pray a lotta things to say for my family and my enemies
The lyrics in this song "Fade" by D.K. / S.K. express deep feelings of inner turmoil, despair, and existential contemplation. The repeated motif of wanting to "fade away" suggests a sense of resignation and the desire for escape from the struggles and pain that the persona is experiencing. The use of the 808 drum sound in the music serves as a backdrop to this emotional journey, amplifying the intensity of the emotions being conveyed.
The mention of the "38" being the death of the persona indicates a dark and ominous mindset, possibly hinting at thoughts of self-harm or self-destructive behavior. The lyrics also touch on themes of feeling trapped and unable to change, likening the persona to a "mockingjay" that is confined and unable to break free from their circumstances. Despite praying and having things to say to both their family and enemies, there is a sense of hopelessness and a yearning for release from their inner struggles.
The persona expresses a sense of loneliness and isolation, feeling misunderstood and judged by others. The references to carrying a gun and contemplating suicide further emphasize the intense emotional distress and turmoil the persona is experiencing. The persona grapples with feelings of inadequacy and not fitting in with society, feeling constantly attacked and pushed away by others.
The repeated chorus underscores the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of pain and darkness, with no apparent way out. The persona seems to be wrestling with their inner demons and contemplating their mortality. Despite expressing love and gratitude towards those who have supported them, there is a sense of ultimate desolation and a surrender to the darkness that pervades their thoughts.
Overall, "Fade" reflects a raw and poignant exploration of mental health struggles, feelings of alienation, and the intense internal battles that can consume a person. The expressive nature of the lyrics coupled with the haunting musical backdrop creates a powerful and introspective piece that delves into the complexities of the human psyche and the quest for peace and understanding amidst inner turmoil.
