Fade Away
Scratch Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You make things worth it
So good so far
Stay a little longer cause you can't
You can't leave me out
But you drove away from me again,
Hit the road surrounded by your friends,
And here's me alone and cursing you.
Here's me knowing you will

FADE away if my plan works right this time
Fade away never mind just what we find.

I always want this
Its just so right
We've gotta get on with it,
Cause you won't believe this night
But you drove away from me again,
Here's me surrounded by your friends
There's you alone and terrified,
There's you hoping that I

FADE away if my plan works right this time
Fade away never mind just what we find

FADE away if my plan works right this time
Fade away never mind just what we find

Go and find yourself but don't look back at me
Just take it it easy as I sit here and know you will

FADE away if my plan works right this time
Fade away never mind just what we find

FADE away if my plan works right this time
Fade away never mind just what we find

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 'Fade Away' by Scratch appear to be about a couple who have been in a long-term relationship that is now coming to an end. Scratch seems to be grappling with the idea that the relationship is almost over and is clinging to the last bit of hope that maybe it can be salvaged. He acknowledges that the relationship has been good and he wants it to continue, but feels that his partner is slipping away from him. The line "Stay a little longer cause you can't, you can't leave me out" suggests that he is begging his partner to stay, but they are keen to drift away.

Scratch describes how his partner drove away from him, surrounded by their friends and leaving him alone and cursing. The frustration he feels towards his partner is evident through his use of imagery such as, "Here's me knowing you will FADE away if my plan works right this time," suggesting he is trying to hold onto his partner by any means possible. He later repeats the same line, "FADE away if my plan works right this time," perhaps indicating that he has a plan to keep their relationship from ending. However, he also seems to be resigned to the fact that their relationship is ending regardless of what he does, saying "Fade away never mind just what we find."

Towards the end of the song, Scratch encourages his partner to "go and find yourself" and not look back. This could suggest that he has accepted that the end of the relationship is inevitable, and that his partner needs to move on and explore life without him.

Overall, 'Fade Away' seems to be a song about the end of a long-term relationship, where Scratch is trying to come to terms with losing his partner. The lyrics are emotional and packed with powerful imagery, showing that the pain of ending such a relationship is universal.
