Fade Away
O.A.O. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just struggling with these ideas.
And the more I learn,
The less I really know.
But to the things I do, I will hold tight.
Because I didn't win them
Without a fight.
It's all I have and I'm not letting go.
I've never been less perfect than today.
Is my heart or is my mind
What's in the way?
I'm listening with nothing left to say.
Savior make this dimness fade away.
Confusion comes so easily.
Like cancer, it kills gradually.
You can't recall
When the light began to fade.
But I'll grab truth with both my hands,
Hold it close 'til I understand,
Face the light and will not be afraid.
I'm so much stronger
Than I was yesterday.
I can see clearly now.
Lord, make this dimness fade away.
The lyrics of "Fade Away" by O.A.O. express the struggle of searching for the truth and overcoming confusion and darkness. The first verse begins with a reflection on the past few years, which have been characterized by difficulty as the artist has grappled with ideas that have left them feeling uncertain and unknowledgeable. However, despite this struggle, the artist recognizes the importance of holding on to what they have learned and gained through hard work and perseverance, declaring that these things are worth fighting for.
The chorus continues the exploration of the artist's inner conflict, as they express a sense of imperfection and question whether it is their heart or mind that is holding them back. Despite feeling lost and without words, the artist turns to a higher power and asks for help, praying for the darkness to fade away and for clarity to come.
The final verse reaffirms the importance of seeking truth, recognizing that confusion is a slow, insidious force that can sneak up on a person and "kill" them if they are not careful. However, the artist declares that they will not let this happen - they will hold tightly onto the truth and face the light without fear. The song ends on a hopeful note, as the artist celebrates their growing strength and clarity of vision, giving thanks to their Lord for helping them through the darkness.
Overall, the lyrics of "Fade Away" are a powerful meditation on the struggle to find truth in a world filled with confusion and doubt. The artist's journey is one that many of us can relate to, as we grapple with questions about our own lives and the world around us.

The loneliest people are the kindest
The saddest people smile the brightest
The most damaged people are the wisest
All because they do not want to see anyone suffer the way they do.
Not my words but spread them

ittle girl: what’s on your arm?
me: they’re battle scars.
little girl: you fought in a war?
me: yeah. a long and hard one.
little girl: that’s so cool! can i get one?
me: no. please do not ever get any. but i’ll tell you what. whenever you see someone else with battle scars, i want you to hug them. okay? can you promise me?
little girl: yes. i promise.
a few days later we went on a short shopping spree. suddenly the little girl let go of my hand and ran up to another random teenager
teen: why are you hugging me?
little girl: because.. (*points*) you have battle scars just like my babysitter.
the teen looked up at me, and i rolled up my sleeves to show her. with tears in her eyes, she said one thing to me..
teen: my war is far from being finished right now, but i am not done fighting.
she bends down at eye level with the little girl
teen: thanks for giving me the strength to keep . you are forever my war hero.
⚠️ this is not my story, but i saw it somewhere else and decided to share it too because i want you to do the same to anyone with “battle scars” ⚠️
I need everyone to pass this on.

Thought I found a way
Thought I found a way, yeah (found)
But you never go away (never go away)
So I guess I gotta stay now
Oh, I hope some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can fight my fear
Isn't it lovely, all alone
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin and bone
Hello, welcome home
Walkin' out of town
Lookin' for a better place (lookin' for a better place)
Something's on my mind (mind)
Always in my headspace
But I know some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can fight my fear
Isn't it lovely, all alone
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin and bone
Hello, welcome home
Woah, yeah
Yeah, ah
Woah, woah
Hello, welcome home

Me and my brother loved this song.... sadly he passed away a month ago. He was my best freind. I don't know how to live life without him. But listening to this song makes me remember him. he was the kindest, most caring and most lovely brother i could ever ask for. If you are reading this and you have lost someone close to you, they might not even be dead.... It's ok they will always be with you no matter what in your heart you will carry them with you and cherish the memories you had with them. If it makes you sad to think of them, don't stop because otheriwse you will forget them and that will be even worse. Always. Remember. No matter how hard it gets T~T Thank you for reading this if you did.Stay safe.
