Fade to Grey
Datura feat. Steve Strange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Devenir gris
Devenir gris
One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Show fear as he turns to hide
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Un homme dans une gare désolée
Une valise à ses cotés
Des yeux fixes et froids
Montrent de la peur lorsqu'il
Se tourne pour se cacher
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey
Ah, we fade to grey
Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a backdrop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Sens la pluie comme un été anglais
Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine
Sortant de derrière un poster
Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey
Ah, we fade to grey
Ah, we fade to grey
The lyrics of Datura feat. Steve Strange's song Fade To Grey speaks about the theme of loneliness and the fading away of one's existence, depicted through the imagery of a man sitting alone in a railway platform with a suitcase by his side, and his eyes showing fear as he hides away. The repeated chorus of "Ah, we fade to grey" adds an eerie tone to the song, emphasising the feeling of disappearing into the background and becoming a mere spectator of life. The second verse talks about the melancholic feeling of the English weather, accompanied by the sound of a distant song, highlighting the yearning for something more than just existing.
In essence, the lyrics represent an universal experience of feeling detached from reality and the significant moments of one's life, leading to detachment from one's sense of self. The lyrics are a metaphor for the human experience, where one often goes through periods of confusion and despair, eventually fading to grey, becoming just another anonymous figure in the crowd.

Toda una obra de arte...alguien me podría brindar el enlace para descargar la discografía completa de este grupo? O aunque más no sea este album?
@manumenorca1785
Datura son unos italianos que versionaron el tema más famoso de VISAGE, Fade to grey... así que puedes buscar en la Wiki el grupo original (te recomiendo ver ésto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmF_jeokUX8), o si te refieres a DATURA los adaptadores, mira la página en italiano, porque en la wiki española no aparece)
