I don't even know, should I bring you too
Dodging all these feelings yeah they just so blue
Baby say she love yeah that shit ain't true
(Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Yeah that shit ain't true)
(Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Yeah they just so blue)
Run away from my self cause it's all that I know
Run away from my health yeah it's all just for show
Fade away from a mind that I can't even call my own
You don't know yeah
You don't know yeah
I swear that I ain't ever going home
Baby I swear you'll never be alone
Wedding ring baby yeah you deserve a throne
I love how you always hit my phone
Yeah baby I don't ever wanna lose you
I love how you'll always come through
Never play with my heart like some voodoo
Always there for me yeah when I need you
Never played with my heart
Always true from the start
Never tore me apart
You're a true work of art
Fade away
I can't even talk don't know what to say
Everyday
I'm always on the clock I can never break
Yeah Woah
Fade away

Overall Meaning

In Knock-Out's song "Fade Away," the lyrics depict a sense of being trapped in a routine where the singer feels powerless and incapable of escaping. The line "I can't even talk, don't know what to say" highlights the feeling of helplessness and the inability to articulate one's thoughts and emotions. The next line "every day, I'm always on the clock, I can never break" furthers the sense of being trapped in a cycle where there is no break, no escape.

The chorus of the song reinforces this feeling, repeating the line "fade away" multiple times, emphasizing the desire for escape, for the ability to disappear from this suffocating routine. The line "run away from myself cause it's all that I know" adds another layer to the song, suggesting that the routine is a result of the singer's own doing, their own inability to confront and deal with their inner demons.

The song also touches on themes of love and commitment, with the singer expressing gratitude towards their partner for always being there for them. However, the line "baby say she loves yeah that shit ain't true" highlights the doubt and uncertainty that may exist in the singer's mind, adding to the overall feeling of disillusionment and longing for escape.

Overall, "Fade Away" portrays the frustration and desire for escape that can arise from being trapped in a suffocating routine, while also touching on themes of doubt and uncertainty in personal relationships.
