Fade to Red
Parov Stelar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Be here tonight
Show me that you care
See through my mind
Make me stop and stare

Burned for life
Built on tremblin' grounds
While I fail to exist
Double steppin' down
In the wake of this twilight
We might be near the storm

Blazin' till we fade to red
We fade to red
Blazin' till we fade to red
Love is just love, we fade to red
Blazin' we fade to red

Double steppin' down
In the wake of this twilight
We might be near the storm

Blazin' till we fade to red
Blazin' till we fade to red
Blazin' till we fade to red
Blazin' till we fade to red
Blazin' till we fade to red
Blazin' till we fade to red
Blazin' till we fade to red

Be here tonight




Show me that you care
See through my mind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Parov Stelar's song 'Fade to Red' are an evocative reflection on the uncertainty of love and the importance of being present in the moment with those we care about. The opening lines of the song, "Be here tonight, show me that you care," set the scene for a plea for connection and intimacy. The following lines, "See through my mind, make me stop and stare," add a layer of vulnerability to this request - the singer is hoping for someone who can truly understand and appreciate them, and not just be a passive presence in their life.


The theme of uncertainty in love is explored in the following lines, "Burned for life, built on tremblin' grounds, while I fail to exist." These words suggest that the singer has been hurt in the past, and is struggling to reconcile their desire for love with the fear of being hurt again. The repetition of the phrase "double steppin' down" speaks to this struggle, and creates a sense of chaos and confusion that is mirrored by the line "in the wake of this twilight, we might be near the storm."


Despite this sense of danger, the song's central message is one of hope and determination. The repetition of the line "blazin' till we fade to red" suggests that the singer is willing to take risks and put their heart on the line, even if it means potentially getting hurt. The final line of the song, "see through my mind," brings the focus back to the idea of connection - the singer is asking for someone who is willing to truly understand them, even when things get tough.


Overall, 'Fade to Red' is a powerful exploration of the complexities and uncertainties of love, and the importance of staying present in the moment with those we care about.
