Fade
Hybrid Minds feat. Katie's Ambition Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you had something to smile about
But for some reason you had to fall
As if you tried to forget it all
So now you′re fading in lies
And getting lost in the night
And try to play in the stars
Till it turns out to be
Everything you hoped for, you hoped for
Till it turns out to be
Everything you wanted in this life
Till it turns out to be
Everything you hoped for, you hoped for
Till it turns out to be
Everything you wanted in this life
The lyrics of Hybrid Minds feat. Katie's Ambition's song Fade convey the feelings of sadness and confusion that one might experience after a seemingly happy phase of their life comes to an end. The first two lines suggest that there was once a time when the person being addressed in the song had reasons to smile, but for some unknown reason, they fell and are now struggling to maintain their happiness. The lines "As if you tried to forget it all" indicate that the person being addressed may be attempting to push the happy memories away, perhaps because they are too painful to remember.
The chorus speaks of the person losing themselves in the lies they tell themselves and the darkness of the night. The use of 'fading in lies' expresses how the person is allowing themselves to be consumed by falsehoods they've convinced themselves of. It continues as they try to play their part among the stars, perhaps indicating that the person feels small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The last line of the chorus "While you forget who you are" underscores how the person is struggling to remember their identity, and who they once were.
The verses and the chorus blend together harmoniously to create a poignant yet relatable narrative of how one can fall down a path of despair after once being happy. The final chorus suggests that the person may still, through all of their struggles, find everything they've ever wanted in this life. The lyrics encourage the listener to hold on to hope and to believe that, even in their darkest moments, there is a glimmer of light that can guide them to happiness.

There was never any doubt
From the beginning, it was clear that you had something worth being happy about
That you had something to smile about
You had a reason to be happy and show it on your face
But for some reason you had to fall
Despite your happiness, something caused you to stumble and struggle
As if you tried to forget it all
It seems like you attempted to erase all of your positive experiences and emotions
So now you're fading in lies
Currently, you are losing yourself by living in falsehoods and deceit
And getting lost in the night
You are becoming disoriented and confused as you journey through your darkness
And try to play in the stars
You are attempting to reach for greatness and touch the unattainable
While you forget who you are
In the midst of your search, you are losing touch with your true self
Till it turns out to be
Until eventually, you realize that
Everything you hoped for, you hoped for
You achieved all that you aspired for and desired
Till it turns out to be
Until eventually, you realize that
Everything you wanted in this life
You have accomplished everything you had hoped to gain in this life
Till it turns out to be
Until eventually, you realize that

Everything you wanted in this life
You have accomplished everything you had hoped to gain in this life

Lyrics:
There was never any doubt
That you had something to smile about
There for some reason you had to fall
As if you try to forget it all
So now you’re fading in lies
And getting lost in the night
And try to paint in the skies
While you forget who you are
Till it turns out to be
Everything you hoped for, you hoped for
Till it turns out to be
Everything you wanted in this life
Till it turns out to be
Everything you hoped for, you hoped for
Till it turns out to be
Everything you wanted in this life

So now you’re fading in lies
And getting lost in the night
And try to play in the stars
While you forget who you are
Till it turns out to be
Everything you hoped for, you hoped for
Till it turns out to be
Everything you wanted in this life

This song has been putting me in a trance for almost a decade now. This will truly never get old. One of the best pieces of DnB out there in my opinion.

Hybrid Minds always incorporates so much emotion into their tracks. It's good to come home from a long day a work and just listen to HM. They've helped me ease up in very tight situations. Thank you Hybrid for creating such beautiful tracks.
