Fade Away
O.A.O. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seems like I spent the past three years,
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 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.



@yoar7

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



@omgvindacator999

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.

@wiamabdo2907

@hiroshijulius6226
