Fade Away
Hannah Diamond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe it's just my luck
Wish we could talk things through
Wish I could click undo
Don′t know what you've got
'Til it′s gone and then you′ll see
If it's me you like
Alive
But so dead inside
Are we just a memory?
Already fading
Already fading...
Day after day
You fa-a-a-ade awa-a-a-ay
From me
Baby, please
Just sta-a-a-ay, don′t fa-a-a-ade away
I always thought I'd be
The picture saved on your screen
Now it′s of something else
What does that even mean?
Don't know what you′ve got
'Til it's gone and then you′ll see
If it′s me you like
Or the way I make you feel
Alive
But so dead inside
Are we just a memory?
Already fading
Already fading...
Day after day
You fa-a-a-ade awa-a-a-ay
From me
Baby please
Just sta-a-a-ay, don't fa-a-a-ade away
Fade away from me
Fade away from me
Fade away from me
Fade away from me
Fade away from me
Fade away from me
Fade away from me
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Day after day
You′re fa-a-a-ade awa-a-a-ay
From me
Baby please
Just sta-a-a-ay, don't fa-a-a-ade away
Fade away from me
Fade away from me
Fade away from me
Fade away from me
The lyrics to Hannah Diamond's "Fade Away" explore the feelings of heartbreak and confusion that come with a fading relationship. The song starts with the idea that the person she loves may have given up on the relationship, and wishes they could have talked it through before things got to this point. She particularly wished she could "click undo" and go back to when things were good between them.
The chorus of the song is a pleading request for the person not to fade away from her. She is realizing that she misses the person she loved, and doesn't want them to disappear from her life. She questions whether they liked her or just the way she made them feel alive because they make her feel "so dead inside."
The second verse touches on the idea that she used to feel like the person she loved was so devoted to her that her picture would be saved on their screen, but now she feels like she's been replaced. The song circles back to the idea that she doesn't know what the person liked more - her or the way she made them feel - and the sadness that comes with the realization that their relationship has already started to fade away.
Overall, "Fade Away" is a relatable, heart-wrenching song about losing someone you love and watching your relationship slowly fade away into a memory.
Line by Line Meaning
Maybe you've given up
Perhaps you've abandoned our relationship
Maybe it's just my luck
Maybe it's just unfortunate for me
Wish we could talk things through
I hope we could discuss and resolve our conflicts
Wish I could click undo
I wish I could go back and change what happened
Don't know what you've got
You never realize the value of something you have
'Til it's gone and then you'll see
Until it's too late, you won't recognize the worth of it
If it's me you like
Do you like me as a person?
Or the way I make you feel
Or do you just like how I make you feel?
Alive
Full of energy and enthusiasm
But so dead inside
However, uninspired and unenthusiastic inside
Are we just a memory?
Is our relationship already in the past?
Already fading
Perhaps our relationship is already disappearing
Day after day
Every single day
You fa-a-a-ade awa-a-a-ay
You're slowly disappearing from my life
From me
From my world
Baby, please
Please, my dear
Just sta-a-a-ay, don't fa-a-a-ade away
Stay with me and don't disappear
I always thought I'd be
I used to believe that
The picture saved on your screen
That you would always cherish our memories together
Now it's of something else
But now something else has replaced me in your life
What does that even mean?
What does that signify and how am I supposed to interpret it?
Fade away from me
Slowly disappear from my life
Fade away
Gradually vanishing from existence

Desaparecer
Talvez você tenha desistido
Talvez seja apenas a minha má sorte
Gostaria que pudéssemos falar sobre as coisas
Gostaria que eu pudesse clicar em desfazer
Não sabe o que você tem
Até que acaba, e então, você verá
Se é de mim que gosta
Ou da forma como eu faço você se sentir
Vivo
Mas tão morto por dentro
Será que somos apenas uma memória
Já desaparecendo?
Já desaparecendo?
Dia após dia
Você desaparece
De mim
Querido, por favor
Apenas fique, não desapareça
Eu sempre pensei que eu seria
A imagem guardada na sua tela
Agora é de outra coisa
O que isso quer dizer?
Não sabe o que você tem
Até que acaba, e então, você verá
Se é de mim que gosta
Ou da forma como eu faço você se sentir
Vivo
Mas tão morto por dentro
Será que somos apenas uma memória
Já desaparecendo?
Já desaparecendo?
Dia após dia
Você desaparece
De mim
Querido, por favor
Apenas fique, não desapareça
Desaparece de mim
Desaparece de mim
Desaparece de mim
Desaparece de mim
Desaparece de mim
Desaparece de mim
Desaparece de mim
Desaparecer
Desaparecer
Desaparecer
Desaparecer
Dia após dia
Você desaparece
De mim
Querido, por favor
Apenas fique, não desapareça
Desaparece de mim
Desaparece de mim
Desaparece de mim
Desaparece de mim
Desaparece de mim

I love the philosophy of hannah diamond's music and aesthetic so much, it accomplishes everything, emotionally, musically, aesthetically, and in terms of accessibility that radio pop wishes it could while still managing to remain niche and wholly unique but at the same time all to familiar and sickeningly catchy

God damn, I can't describe how I feel about her music or PC music in general, but the philosophy of her her music and PC music hits home hard.

The futuristic sound of this song attracted UFOs to my house and beamed my weave straight off my head and into the deep corners of outer space.
