Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh
It's starting to rain again.
Everything's gone now.
Even the sun.
It's starting to rain again.
Don't go away.
Hm
I've been high and I've been low.
I've been wealthy and I've been poor.
I don't know much.
But one thing I know, this ain't no fun.
Hm
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Oh
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great.
I painted a picture with her in his arms.
Hm
It's starting to rain again.
It's all in my mind.
He's done me no harm.
Hm
I've been up and I've been down.
Through all my drama, he's still around.
I can't believe that even now I put us through the storm.
Oh
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Oh
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great.
Couldn't look at myself in the mirror.
Asking myself "How dumb could you be? "
Maybe everything would be much clearer if no one could see me.
Hm
Oh
Oh, invisibility would be great.
Oh
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Oh
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
Hey
Hey
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Oh
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Invisibility would be great
The lyrics of Mary J Blige's "Fade Away" express a deep sense of pain and vulnerability. The song opens with the singer acknowledging that everything seems to have gone wrong - even the sun has disappeared. It feels like she's lost everything, and she's left wondering what she's done wrong. Throughout the song, Mary J Blige reflects on her life - the highs and lows, the wealth and poverty. She's been through a lot, but despite everything, she still doesn't feel like life is any fun. At times she wishes that she could "stand here and fade away" so that nobody can see the tears running down her face. She wishes for invisibility, so that she can hide from the world and the pain it inflicts upon her.
The song is a powerful expression of pain and the need for isolation during times of great vulnerability. Mary J Blige paints vivid pictures of hurt and regret, ultimately culminating in a desire to simply disappear. The lyrics suggest that she feels like she's made mistakes and been hurt so many times that she doesn't want to be seen anymore - she wants to withdraw from the world and heal in private.
