Fading Away
Ricardo Padua Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I can't never be who you want me to be
I tried to be the perfect gem, but this love goes to waste
I am not who you think I am
Well I can't never be who you want me to be
I tried to be the perfect gem, but this love goes to waste
My love to you is fading away
Like a cloud on a sunny day
My love to you is fading away
Like a cloud on a sunny day
I am not who you think I am
Well I can't never be who you want me to be
I tried to be the perfect gem, but this love goes to waste
My love to you is fading away
My love to you is fading away
Like a cloud on a sunny day
My love to you is fading away
Like a cloud on a sunny day
The lyrics to Ricardo Padua's "Fading Away" tell a story of a person struggling to be who their loved one wants them to be. The repetition of "I am not who you think I am, and I can never be who you want me to be" emphasizes the pressure and expectation that the singer is feeling. However, despite their efforts to be the perfect partner, they feel that their love is fading away.
The second half of the song uses the metaphor of a cloud on a sunny day to describe the fading love. It's a beautiful image that carries multiple meanings. On one hand, the cloud could symbolize the struggles and insecurities that the singer is dealing with. On the other hand, the cloud could represent the fading love itself, which is slipping away despite the bright and happy moments that the couple may have shared.
Overall, "Fading Away" is a poignant song about the challenges of love and the struggle to be true to oneself while also being there for the people we care about.

Wow.. Me gusta! I like the lines: "My love to you is fading away Like a cloud on a sunny day" I think the arrangement is nice, but it kinda lacked that "crescendo" need at the end. But overall, good track :)
