Fade
Juma Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna talk just go away
All I wanna do is get high today
All I wanna do is just fly away
And I don't really care if I awake
But you can tell mom that I'll be ok
Cause Paul is here, John is here
Katie is here, Jamie's here, Mikey's here
But Tom was gone, really fast, Ramadan
He collapsed with the shower on while I was on the balcony
Leaning over, thinking over, the fight I had last night with dad
He just wants me clean and sober
But I'll be here until the dream is woke
Everything is fading in front of my face
Time's not on my side I can't keep the pace
It's getting too dark in this place
And the darkness screams so loud (Oh)
Everything is fading in front of my face
Time's not on my side I can't keep the pace
It's getting too dark in this place
And the darkness screams so loud (Oh)
So much on my shoulder blades
But when I blast off it just goes away
And all my problems float away
I wish this moment was here to stay
But I'm ok
After all at least I'm not as bad off as Tom
Every single day he's nodding off, kid pours it on with the nozzle off
Mazel Toff, the world ours
We'll climb the heights and high-five the gods
And we ain't gotta worry about rights and wrongs
We'll cross the lines like a pencil drawing
Tonight is now, tomorrow's gone
Wayne and Garth, party on
But wait a sec where is Tom? and why can't I feel my legs arms?
Everything is fading in front of my face
Time's not on my side I can't keep the pace
It's getting too dark in this place
And the darkness screams so loud (Oh)
Everything is fading in front of my face
Time's not on my side I can't keep the pace
It's getting too dark in this place
And the darkness screams so loud (Oh)
So much on my shoulder blades but I'm so numb like Novocain
Overcame my soul and brain, and ran me over like a stolen train
But I'm ok, after all, at least I'm not as bad off as Tom
Cause he ain't breathing, Jamie's screaming
Katie's leaving, John is cleaning everything we done
And Paul is speaking to 911 while Mikey's screaming
"Just tell them to come!"
Cause I was gone just like a prayer, Madonna song
I collapsed with the shower on, while I was on the balcony
Thinking long how things went wrong
It was nice to meet you, my name is Tom
Everything is fading in front of my face
Time's not on my side I can't keep the pace
It's getting too dark in this place
And the darkness screams so loud (Oh)
Everything is fading in front of my face
Time's not on my side I can't keep the pace
It's getting too dark in this place
And the darkness screams so loud (Oh)
Darkness screams so loud
Darkness screams so loud
Darkness screams so loud

So much on my shoulder blades
There are so many burdens weighing heavily on me
I don't wanna talk just go away
I don't want to engage in conversation, please leave me alone
All I wanna do is get high today
All I want to do is escape reality and numb my feelings
All I wanna do is just fly away
All I want is to escape and leave all my problems behind
And I don't really care if I awake
I am indifferent about waking up and facing another day
But you can tell mom that I'll be ok
Assure my mom that I will be fine, even though I may not be
Cause Paul is here, John is here
My friends are here to support me through this tough time
But Tom was gone, really fast, Ramadan
Tom left suddenly and unexpectedly, like a fleeting moment
He collapsed with the shower on while I was on the balcony
He fainted in the shower while I was outside, lost in my thoughts
Leaning over, thinking over, the fight I had last night with dad
Reflecting on the argument I had with my father the night before
He just wants me clean and sober
My father wants me to be free from substances and clear-headed
But I'll be here until the dream is woke
I'll remain here until I face reality and wake up from this dreamlike state
Everything is fading in front of my face
Everything is slowly disappearing before my eyes
Time's not on my side I can't keep the pace
I feel like time is running out and I can't keep up
It's getting too dark in this place
The situation is becoming grim and hopeless
And the darkness screams so loud (Oh)
The darkness and despair are overwhelming and deafening
