Fade
Gates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So don't- get it confused
Not everything's about you
Feeling kinda strange
Maybe things need to change
I don't usually switch lanes
I'm in need of new plans
Finna fly to new lands
You don't love me
We ain't ever gone see
All the things we could be
Cause, baby
You ruin everything you touch
You're so treacherous
Love will fade away
Either way I know my
Love will fade away
Either way I know my
Love will fade away
Either way
Love will fade away
My love will fade away
What can I say
Fucked around
And got played
In a minute mind's made
You don't got it I'll pay
I ain't got the time babe
Let it ruin your day
I don't care where you lay
If you leaving, c'est la vie
When you go you gone see
They don't do it like me
There ain't no one like me
Hope you good politely
Love will fade away
Either way I know my
Love will fade away
Either way I know my
Love will fade away
My love will fade away
Getting on his nerves
Tryna fight the urge
To burn up some herbs
It's fucking absurd
We twist and we turn
We live and we never learn
We're dumbs dumbs
Twiddling our thumb thumbs
And living like some bum bums
So never getting nun done
Sike, at least I'm doing this
And that could be whatever
As long as I defy my state of mind
And face the weather
But it never change
It always stays the same
I am in another lane
I hopped off a spaceship
In it with the same clique
Never on some lame shit
Smoking on that yaya
Yeah that chrome
So I stay hit
Bitch
The lyrics of Gates's song "Fade" revolves around a person's realization of their relationship's toxicity and the need for change. The first few lines of the song, "I feel this way about a lot of people/ So don't- get it confused/ Not everything's about you," suggests that the person is not solely talking about a particular person but instead their general feelings about relationships. They feel that they need to change and find new plans and new lands to hold hands with another man and move on from their past relationship.
The song's pre-chorus highlights the person's understanding that they will no longer be able to achieve what they could have in their previous relationship because their partner ruins everything they touch, and they are treacherous. Gates vehemently emphasizes in the chorus, "Love will fade away/ Either way, I know my love will fade away/ What can I say, fucked around and got played." The person has decided to end their relationship because they have been hurt, and they believe that love will fade away, either way.
In the second verse, the person expresses that they are tired of being stuck in their current situation and are ready to change their life. "We twist and we turn/ We live and we never learn/ We're dumbs dumbs, twiddling our thumb thumbs/ And living like some bum bums" suggests that they are unsatisfied with their current lifestyle, and they want to change that. The person seems to be acknowledging their faults and trying to make things right by making a change.
Overall, the song "Fade" is a cautionary tale about toxic relationships and the need to move on when things go bad. The song emphasizes the importance of change and taking control of one's life to find happiness.

I feel this way about a lot of people
I don't just feel this way about you - this is how I feel about many people
So don't- get it confused
Don't mistake my feelings for being solely about you
Not everything's about you
This isn't all about you - there are other things going on too
Feeling kinda strange
I'm feeling a bit weird
Maybe things need to change
Perhaps things need to be different
I don't usually switch lanes
I usually stick to one thing and don't change
I'm in need of new plans
I need some new ideas and things to do
Finna fly to new lands
I'm going to travel to new places
And hold hands with another man
I'm going to find someone new to be with
You don't love me
You don't really love me
We ain't ever gone see
We're never going to see
All the things we could be
All the things we could have been
Cause, baby
Because, my love
You ruin everything you touch
You have a way of destroying everything you come into contact with
You're so treacherous
You're deceitful and untrustworthy
Love will fade away
Love will eventually disappear
Either way I know my
In any case, I know that my
What can I say
What else is there to say
Fucked around
Messed around
And got played
And ended up being used or taken advantage of
In a minute mind's made
In an instant, I've made up my mind
You don't got it I'll pay
If you don't have it, I'll pay
I ain't got the time babe
I don't have the time, baby
Let it ruin your day
Let it ruin your day (I don't care)
I don't care where you lay
I don't care where you end up
If you leaving, c'est la vie
If you're leaving, such is life
When you go you gone see
When you leave, you'll see
They don't do it like me
No one else does it the way I do
There ain't no one like me
There's no one else like me
Hope you good politely
Hope everything works out for you (said politely)
Getting on his nerves
I am annoying him
Tryna fight the urge
Trying to resist the temptation
To burn up some herbs
To smoke some weed
It's fucking absurd
It's ridiculous
We twist and we turn
We try different things and take different paths
We live and we never learn
We continue to make the same mistakes
We're dumbs dumbs
We're idiots
Twiddling our thumb thumbs
Doing nothing with our time
And living like some bum bums
And living like bums (homeless people)
So never getting nun done
So we never get anything done
Sike, at least I'm doing this
Just kidding, at least I'm doing something (referring to making music)
And that could be whatever
And that could be anything
As long as I defy my state of mind
As long as I go against the way I usually think or act
And face the weather
And deal with whatever comes my way
But it never change
But it never changes
It always stays the same
It always remains the way it is
I am in another lane
I'm doing something different than before
I hopped off a spaceship
I'm doing something totally new and different
In it with the same clique
I'm still with the same group of people
Never on some lame shit
Never doing anything boring or uncool
Smoking on that yaya
Smoking weed
Yeah that chrome
Referencing smoking weed with chrome pipes
So I stay hit
So I stay high (from smoking weed)
Bitch
Insult directed at someone (unclear who)

I want an eden of flowers
I want the beauty to blossom here in bloom
but I don't want to grow them from our wounds
I want to last in the hour
of summer heat when the sun beams on your face
but can't shake the cold of winter days
so the petals wilt away
and the blue skies dull to grey
and I wish I hadn't left our love to fade
I want to live without aging
I want to swim in the fountain of our youth
but I know I'll wane inside of you
I want to love you forever
I want to know like the always in your eyes
but I only know how to say goodbye
so our bodies wilt away
and our flush skin dulls to grey
and I wish I hadn't left our love to fade

This hits too close to home. I shouldn't have tears in my eyes at work on a Thursday. Hopeless crying is reserved for MON/TUE at most.

I sent these guys screenshots of my favorite lyrics of theirs because they are an inspiration to my poetry, and I got this response: "Some of my proudest moments, old and new. Glad they've inspired you! Hopefully you'll send over yours when you've finished." It made me really happy. I saw them live the other night (incredible!). This band is great
