Fade
Dream Ritual Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every single color
Bleeds into gray
All of my friends
Start to fade away

Losing every feeling
Planted in the ground
Dripping wet with bleach
I'm gone with a sound

I will never fade away.

Every single hope &
Night becomes a dream
Fleeting youth and diamond schemes
To Broken glass and empty screams

Oh what a life this is
What is that thing you miss?
Swallowed by the city
It's Death's first kiss, again





I will never fade away.

Line by Line Meaning

Every single color
All the vivid and bright things in life


Bleeds into gray
Slowly and gradually becomes dull and lifeless


All of my friends
All the people I used to know


Start to fade away
Gradually becoming distant and uninvolved


Losing every feeling
Becoming numb and emotionless


Planted in the ground
Rooted in a reality that is shaky and unstable


Dripping wet with bleach
Strained and broken beyond repair


I'm gone with a sound
Disappearing without a trace or a goodbye


I will never fade away.
I will not let myself disappear or lose my identity


Every single hope &
All the aspirations and dreams


Night becomes a dream
The reality of the world is a mirage


Fleeting youth and diamond schemes
The desire for eternal youth and riches


To Broken glass and empty screams
Everything falls apart and becomes meaningless


Oh what a life this is
A deep sense of disappointment with existence


What is that thing you miss?
Thinking back to the things that have been lost forever


Swallowed by the city
Being consumed and forgotten by urban life


It's Death's first kiss, again
The reminder of mortality and the end of existence


I will never fade away.
Not allowing oneself to be dissolved or forgotten
