Fading Away
It's Like Love Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its time to ante up
But I just wont make it if you call my bluff tonight
Ill tell you everything you wanted to hear
Its time to pay the price
But I just wont make it if you call my bluff tonight
Ill tell you everything you wanted to hear

Just hold your cards and watch my face
While I fold and fray

Keep on insisting Im something Im not
Filling the void with things that I havent got
Look in the mirror
And still dont see a thing
So calm, I know you can fake it
But I just dont know how far you will take it
Im fading away
When I look in the mirror
I see everything but me





Maybe, baby, we could take this
One lie at a time

Overall Meaning

The song "Fading Away" by It's Like Love portrays the inner conflict of a person who is struggling to maintain a facade of perfection and fulfilment in a relationship, while struggling with their own insecurities and inadequacies. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the theme of the song - the singer is unable to face the reality of the situation they are in, and is hesitant to confront the truth, preferring to hide behind a lie. The lyrics "Its time to ante up, But I just won't make it if you call my bluff tonight, I'll tell you everything you wanted to hear" suggest that the singer is not ready to face the consequences of their actions and is instead trying to maintain a facade.


The second verse of the song highlights the idea that the singer is hiding behind a facade by filling the void with things that they haven't got, but it is not working out for them. The line "Look in the mirror and still don't see a thing" reinforces the idea that the singer has lost sight of who they really are, and is now struggling to maintain an image that is not true to themselves. The singer knows that they are faking it, but they don't know how far they can take it before it becomes too much to bear.


In conclusion, "Fading Away" is a poignant and heartfelt song that captures the struggles of someone who is grappling with their own insecurities and inadequacies in a relationship. The song is a powerful reminder that it is important to be true to ourselves and not lose sight of who we really are, even in the face of adversity.

I don't know how much more you'll pretend


Im fading away
I'm losing myself

I try to find who I really am

Let's go slowly


One lie at a time
We can take it one step at a time

We're both on the show
You're killing me, you hold me down
You call me for sure
You're killing me, you hold me down

Little talks for the better
Tap, tap on your shoulder
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down
Black stripes going under
My skin getting older
I felt love but it's over
I go down
(And you would just fading away)
It's getting cold and feeling colder
(And you would just fading away)

Little talks for the better
Tap, tap on your shoulder
I feeling love but it's over
I go down down down
Black stripes going under
My skin getting older
I feel love but it's over

I go down down down
We're both on the road
You braked me you hold me down
We share all our faults
You braked me you hold me down
Red lips but olders
None has swing better
I feel love but it's over

I go down down down
Find blood on your fingers
Together and wilder
I felt love but it's over
I go down
(And you would just fading away)
It's getting cold and feeling colder
(And you would just fading away)

Red lips bite harder
None has swing better
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down
Fake blood on your fingers
Together and wilder
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down

Little talks for the better
Tap, tap on your shoulder.
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down
Black stripes going under
My skin getting older
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down

Letra 💕
We're both on the shore
You're killing me, you're holding me down
You call me for sure
You're killing me, you're holding me down

Little talks for the better
Tap, tap on your shoulder
I feel love but it's over
I go down down down
Black stripes going under
My skin getting older
Felt love but it's over
I go down
(And you were just fading away)
It's getting cold and feeling colder
(And you were just finding a way)

Little talks for the better
Tap, tap on your shoulder
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down
Black stripes going under
My skin getting older
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down

We're both on the road
You breaking me, you holding me down
We share all our thoughts
You breaking me, you holding me down
Red lips but harder
None has swing better
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down

Thick blood on a finger
Together and wilder
I felt love but it's over
I go down
(And you were just fading away)
It's getting cold, I'm feeling colder
(And you were just finding a way)

Red lips but harder
None has swing better
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down
Fake blood on a finger
Together and wilder
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down

Little talks for the better
Tap, tap on your shoulder
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down
Black stripes going under
My skin getting older
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down

Little talks for the better
Tap, tap on your shoulder
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down
Black stripes going under
My skin getting older
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down
