Fade Away
Davy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to describe it, not a lot to say
I'm reviving everyday
Every night, oh
Feel like a typo
These waves are tidal
Lost, I been MIA
Play my life like it's GTA
Know the truth but it's hard to say
What you said made me not know
"Come back to me when you're not broke"
You're loving me when I'm hot, oh
When I'm not then I'm not yours
Baby girl you're my ex though
Why you still send the XO
Try to chill with the texts
Try to be on to the next
Sometimes I wish that you're not gone
Wish you could love with the lights on
Wish you saw the way I saw
But I guess that you're not wrong
But I guess that you're not wrong
Wish you could love with the lights on
So you'd watch while I fade away
I remember back then, when you were my sidekick
Sometimes I want you back, fuck I can't decide shit
When I see your pic, get reminded
So numb, can't stop rewinding
But you never should've left me on R
I'ma leave you in hell, while I speed through the stars
Search for infinity, no man finna mimic me
Her eyes pull, so full of electricity
Charged up but I'm still so numb
I know you won't let me go
We communicate too slow
Searching for my soul travel 'cross the globe
Everyone has their own mind
Their own ways
Their own line
Their own phase
Their own things that they crave
Things that make them cave inside
Making them lose their mind
Making them unkind
Let's just let it unwind
Let it fade away
Fade, fade, fade, fade, fade away
Fade, fade, fade, fade, fade away
Watch me, just fade away
Try to describe it, not a lot to say
Lost, I've been MIA
All my goals don't got an ETA
The lyrics to Davy's song "Fade Away" explore themes of heartbreak, loss, and the difficulty of communication in relationships. The opening lines, "Watch me, I fade away / Try to describe it, not a lot to say" set the tone for the rest of the song, as Davy struggles to articulate his emotions and feelings towards a past lover. He describes feeling lost and absent, living life like it's a video game with no clear direction or purpose.
The chorus, "Sometimes I wish that you're not gone / Wish you could love with the lights on / Wish you saw the way I saw / But I guess that you're not wrong" highlights the longing and regret Davy feels about the end of his relationship. He wishes that his ex could see things from his perspective, but ultimately acknowledges that their perspectives may just be too different. The lines "What you said made me not know / 'Come back to me when you're not broke'" also speak to the difficulty of communication, as a hurtful comment from his ex causes confusion and uncertainty on Davy's part.
The second verse explores Davy's conflicting emotions towards his ex, as he struggles with the desire to move on and the lingering feelings he still has for her. The line "Sometimes I want you back, fuck I can't decide shit" speaks to this internal struggle, as he reflects on the nostalgia he feels when he sees her picture. The final lines of the song, "Everyone has their own mind / Their own ways / Their own line / Their own phase / Their own things that they crave / Things that make them cave inside / Making them lose their mind / Making them unkind / Let's just let it unwind / Let it fade away" suggest acceptance and a desire to let go and move on from the past.
Overall, "Fade Away" is a poignant exploration of the complexities of relationships, communication, and the difficulty of moving on.

Watch me, I fade away
I am disappearing before your eyes
Try to describe it, not a lot to say
It's hard to explain what's happening to me
I'm reviving everyday
I'm trying to get better every day
Every night, oh
This pain continues day and night
Feel like a typo
I feel like a mistake
These waves are tidal
These emotions are powerful and intense like ocean waves
Lost, I been MIA
I've been missing in action, not sure where to go
Play my life like it's GTA
I live my life like a video game
All my goals don't have an ETA
I don't know when or if my goals will be achieved
Know the truth but it's hard to say
I know the truth, but it's difficult to admit
What you said made me not know
Your words confused me
"Come back to me when you're not broke"
You only want me around when I'm doing well
You're loving me when I'm hot, oh
You only love me when I'm successful
When I'm not then I'm not yours
When I'm struggling, you abandon me
Baby girl you're my ex though
We're no longer together
Why you still send the XO
Why do you still send me hugs and kisses?
Try to chill with the texts
Please stop messaging me so much
Try to be on to the next
I'm trying to move on to someone new
Sometimes I wish that you're not gone
Sometimes I miss you
Wish you could love with the lights on
I wish you could love me for who I am, not just when things are good
Wish you saw the way I saw
I wish you saw things from my perspective
But I guess that you're not wrong
I guess it's okay that we see things differently
I remember back then, when you were my sidekick
I remember when we were close and worked well together
Sometimes I want you back, fuck I can't decide shit
Sometimes I miss you and want you back, but it's complicated
When I see your pic, get reminded
When I see your picture, I remember our past and how I feel
So numb, can't stop rewinding
I feel trapped in the past and can't move forward
But you never should've left me on R
You should have never put our relationship on hold
I'ma leave you in hell, while I speed through the stars
I'll move on without you and be successful
Search for infinity, no man finna mimic me
I'm striving for greatness that cannot be duplicated
Her eyes pull, so full of electricity
I'm attracted to someone else's eyes and energy
Charged up but I'm still so numb
I have energy and motivation, but still feel trapped
I know you won't let me go
I feel like you're holding me back
We communicate too slow
Our relationship is not progressing fast enough
Searching for my soul travel 'cross the globe
I'm searching for meaning and fulfillment all over the world
Everyone has their own mind
Everyone thinks differently
Their own ways
Everyone has their own path
Their own line
Everyone has their own boundaries
Their own phase
Everyone goes through different stages in life
Their own things that they crave
Everyone desires different things
Things that make them cave inside
Things that make them feel weak or vulnerable
Making them lose their mind
Causing them to lose control
Making them unkind
Causing them to act out of character
Let's just let it unwind
Let's allow things to naturally unravel
Let it fade away
Allow this pain to slowly disappear
Fade, fade, fade, fade, fade away
Disappearing slowly over time
Watch me, just fade away
I'm disappearing before your eyes
Lost, I've been MIA
I'm missing or absent
All my goals don't got an ETA
I don't know when or if my goals will be achieved
