Fade Away
MandoPony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you still be a part of me?
Is this real... Will I go on? Or...
Is this all just fantasy?
It's been so long since I
Saw your face, I forgot who I was
And I lost my grace
I don't want to forget
Please don't let me disappear.
Who we want to be
And who we become
Are as different as
Night and day...
I tried to destroy you, but I
Can't ignore you any more
I don't want to go back, no I don't want to
Fade away.
The way is open, but I
Will not cross
I will never be whole again after
So much loss
With my last breath I will
Set them free
To live the life that was never
Meant for me.
My time is coming soon
So leave me be...
If only I could turn the page
And relive those memories
Now I'm forced to say goodbye
My only friend
A thousand years too soon
And I never want to see it end.
But, who we want to be
And who we become
Are as different as
Night and day...
I tried to destroy you, but I
Can't ignore you any more
I don't want to go back, no I don't want to
Fade away.
Goodbye, my only friend
I wish this wasn't the end
I don't want to go back...
I don't want to fade away.
The lyrics to MandoPony’s song “Fade Away” encapsulate the emotional turmoil of a person coming to terms with the reality that they are losing someone who has been an important part of their life. The song is filled with feelings of confusion, regret, and a struggling acceptance of the inevitability of change. The opening lines pose a rhetorical question of whether the person will still be a part of them even if they let them go, highlighting the depth of their relationship. The singer then grapples with the loss of the person, realizing that it has caused them to lose their identity, and they do not want to forget them.
The song then delves into a contemplation of the difference between who we want to be and who we end up becoming, which is emphasized by the juxtaposition of “night and day.” The singer admits to trying to destroy the person, but eventually, they are unable to ignore them, and they do not want to go back to the state of fading away they were in before. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the desire to hold onto who they are and not let themselves be absorbed by their pain.
The final verse becomes more introspective, with the singer acknowledging that their time is coming to an end and expressing a willingness to let go of the person so they can find their own way. They paint a picture of yearning to turn the page and relive the memories they shared together, but ultimately having to say goodbye to their only friend. The song ends with an exhausting feeling of not wanting to fade away and holding onto the memories of their past.
Line by Line Meaning
If I let, you go
If I allow you to leave my life,
Would you still be a part of me?
Will you still be present in my thoughts and emotions?
Is this real... Will I go on? Or...
I'm unsure if what I'm experiencing is reality and I'm questioning if I'll be able to continue living in this state.
Is this all just fantasy?
I'm wondering if what I'm going through is just a figment of my imagination.
It's been so long since I
It's been a considerable amount of time since I last saw you,
Saw your face, I forgot who I was
In your absence, I lost my sense of identity.
And I lost my grace
I've lost my composure and inner tranquility.
Now I just want to stay here
I have no desire to move on or let go,
I don't want to forget
I don't want to lose the memory of our connection.
Please don't let me disappear.
I'm pleading for a way to keep you in my life and not to lose myself in the process.
Who we want to be
Our ideal self-image,
And who we become
The actual version of ourselves,
Are as different as
Can be as dissimilar as two opposite constructs such as,
Night and day...
Daytime and nighttime.
I tried to destroy you, but I
I attempted to erase you from my heart and mind, but I,
Can't ignore you any more
I can't continue to overlook the significant emotional impact you have on me.
I don't want to go back, no I don't want to
I don't want to return to a state without you, I don't want to
Fade away.
Gradually disappear until I'm just a faint memory.
The way is open, but I
I have the opportunity to move forward, but I
Will not cross
I refuse to leave this place emotionally or mentally.
I will never be whole again after
After experiencing such profound loss, I will never feel complete or content again.
So much loss
So many things that were dear to me were taken away, so
With my last breath I will
As I take my final breath,
Set them free
I will release my attachments to these losses and accept their departure.
To live the life that was never
To pursue the existence that was never
Meant for me.
Destined or intended for me.
My time is coming soon
I am approaching my end,
So leave me be...
So allow me to move on without disruption.
If only I could turn the page
If I had the ability to change the past,
And relive those memories
And revisit those moments with you,
Now I'm forced to say goodbye
Now I must accept that it's time to part ways,
My only friend
You were the only one who truly understood me,
A thousand years too soon
It feels like our time together ended too abruptly,
And I never want to see it end.
And I wish we could have gone on forever.
Goodbye, my only friend
Farewell, my dearest companion,
I wish this wasn't the end
I yearn for this not to be our final farewell.
I don't want to go back...
I don't want to return to life without you,
I don't want to fade away.
I don't want to become just a fleeting memory and disappear.
