Fade
Human Tetris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up at night
Sickness isn't over
She waved goodbye
Turned around the corner

Those days were same
Made them even worsen
Constantly stressed
Was it even worth it?

In the shadow
Of a quiet place
Where you left me
Misery or grace

I fall apart
I fall apart

Saw her last night
Suddenly uneasy
Cold blood inside
Why don't you release me

Those days are gone
There is no need to follow
Now we both know
Your stateless heart is hollow

In the shadow
Of a quiet place
Where you left me
Misery or grace

I fall apart
I fall apart
I fall apart
I fall apart
I fall apart
I fall apart

I fall apart
I fall apart
I fall apart
I fall apart




I fall apart
I fall apart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Human Tetris's song "Fade" appear to be about a past relationship that has ended, leaving the singer feeling lost and broken. The first stanza suggests that the singer is suffering from some form of illness that has been ongoing, and that their partner has left them, possibly due to the strain caused by the illness. The lines "Those days were same/Made them even worsen/Constantly stressed/Was it even worth it?" suggest that the relationship was under strain even before the illness set in.


The second stanza provides more insight into the singer's state of mind. They feel as if they are in a "shadow" or a dark place, left alone with their thoughts as their partner has moved on. The lines "Misery or grace/I fall apart" suggest that the singer is torn between wanting to be free of the pain and sadness they are feeling, and wanting to hold onto the memories of the relationship.


The third stanza introduces a new character, a woman who the singer saw the previous night and who left them feeling uneasy. The lines "Cold blood inside/Why don't you release me" suggest that this woman may have had a role in the breakup of the past relationship, or that she represents a possible new love interest who the singer is not yet ready to move on with.


The chorus repeats the line "I fall apart" six times, emphasizing the singer's emotional turmoil and sense of isolation.


Overall, "Fade" is a haunting and introspective song that explores the pain of lost love and the difficulty of finding closure and moving on.


Line by Line Meaning

Woke up at night
I suddenly awoke in the middle of the night


Sickness isn't over
I am still feeling unwell


She waved goodbye
We said our farewells


Turned around the corner
She went out of sight around the corner


Those days were same
The days felt monotonous


Made them even worsen
Something made those dull days worse


Constantly stressed
I kept feeling anxious and tense


Was it even worth it?
I question the value of what I have been doing


In the shadow
I am in a darkened area


Of a quiet place
The surroundings are peaceful and still


Where you left me
You departed and left me behind


Misery or grace
I am not sure if this situation will lead to pain or peace


I fall apart
I am feeling emotionally unstable and coming undone


Saw her last night
I recently saw her in the evening


Suddenly uneasy
I felt unexpected discomfort


Cold blood inside
My emotions felt numb


Why don't you release me
I wish to be freed from this emotional burden


Those days are gone
That period of time is now in the past


There is no need to follow
There is no reason to continue down that path


Now we both know
We are both aware of the truth


Your stateless heart is hollow
Your heart is empty and lacks a sense of belonging


I fall apart
I am feeling emotionally unstable and coming undone


I fall apart
I am feeling emotionally unstable and coming undone


I fall apart
I am feeling emotionally unstable and coming undone


I fall apart
I am feeling emotionally unstable and coming undone


I fall apart
I am feeling emotionally unstable and coming undone


I fall apart
I am feeling emotionally unstable and coming undone

[Verse 1]
Woke up at night
Sickness isn't over
She waved goodbye
Turned around the corner

Those days were same
Made them even worsen
Constantly stressed
Was it even worth it?

[Chorus]
In the shadow
Of a quiet place
Where you left me
Misery or grace

[Post-Chorus]
I fall apart
I fall apart

[Verse 2]
Saw her last night
Suddenly uneasy
Cold blood inside
Why don't you release me

Those days are gone
There is no need to follow
Now we both know
Your sateless heart is hollow

[Chorus]
In the shadow
Of a quiet place
Where you left me
Misery or grace

Edit: Learned a new word after listening closely and replaced stateless with sateless.

Did the band perform in Mexico? Very surprising since they are russians. But maybe their location is somewhere else?

Классики российского постпанка! Спасибо, что выложили видео, столько воспоминаний приятных связано с вашей музыкой, с жизнью, которая была раньше. В 2017 году отмечала свой др на вашем концерте в Москве, надеюсь, когда-нибудь удастся это повторить.
