Fade
Seann Bowe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To prove that we would always be in love
But now it's lonely in the park
No one even stops to wonder who we are
And the birds come by
To stay a while
On top of our stone smiles
I don't really know why
All good things must fade
I made a painting out of us
And filled it with the colors that we love
But I sold it sometime in the move
When you said I couldn't stay with you
But when people walk by
In the gallery lights
I hope they see our lives
Through brand new eyes
Cuz I don't really know why
All good things must fade
I found some photographs of us
Wrote on the back that we were happy once
And I tried to mail it to your house
But the mailman said that no one lives there now
And you're not online
You left no signs
I guess that that's just life
People float by
But I don't really know why
All good things must fade
The song "Fade" by Seann Bowe is a melancholic reflection on how all good things must come to an end. The lyrics describe the singer's attempt to preserve his relationship by creating a "statue" and a "painting" out of his memories with his partner, and by trying to reach out to her through old photographs. However, despite his efforts, the relationship has faded away and the memories that once brought joy have become lonely reminders of what once was.
The first verse talks about how the singer made a statue of himself and his partner to represent their love. The statue is a symbol of their relationship and serves as a reminder that they promised to love each other forever. However, as time passed by, the park where the statue is located became deserted, and no one remembers the story behind the sculpture. The second verse talks about how the singer made a painting of him and his partner using the colors that they loved. However, he sold the painting "sometime in the move" when he was asked to leave. He hopes that people who see the painting at the gallery will be able to appreciate the beauty in their past. Finally, in the third verse, the singer found some old photographs of them together and tried to send them to his former partner. Sadly, the girl has moved on, and the mailman told him that no one lives there anymore.
The song is not just about the end of a romantic relationship, but it speaks to the universal emotional experience of loss and how we cope with it. The singer tries to hold on to the past, but he also recognizes that all good things must fade away eventually. He hopes that others may be able to appreciate the love that he shared with his partner through his creative works.
Overall, the song is a powerful reflection on how relationships can end and how it can be challenging to move on from the end of something once held dear. Seann Bowe's haunting voice and the elegant acoustic guitar make this song an even more compelling and relatable experience.

I made a statue out of us
I tried to create a timeless representation of our love through a statue
To prove that we would always be in love
I wanted to show that our love was strong enough to last forever
But now it's lonely in the park
The statue now stands alone, and our love has faded away
No one even stops to wonder who we are
No one pays attention to the statue or our love story anymore
And the birds come by
Nature continues to exist around the statue despite our love fading away
To stay a while
The birds find a temporary home on the statue
On top of our stone smiles
The birds perch on our statue's smiles, which were meant to represent our happiness
Those ancient times
Our love story feels like it happened in a distant past
I don't really know why
I can't understand why our love faded away
All good things must fade
I have come to the realization that even good things like love don't last forever
I made a painting out of us
I wanted to capture the essence of our love through a painting
And filled it with the colors that we love
I used the colors that reminded us of the good times we shared
But I sold it sometime in the move
I had to let go of the painting during a difficult period in our relationship
When you said I couldn't stay with you
Your rejection made it clear that our love was not strong enough to withstand the challenges we faced
But when people walk by
I hope that others can appreciate the value of our love story
In the gallery lights
The painting is now on display for others to see
I hope they see our lives
I hope people can see the depth and beauty of our love story through the painting
Through brand new eyes
I hope others can appreciate the painting with a fresh perspective
Cuz I don't really know why
I can't understand why our love story ended
All good things must fade
I have come to the realization that even good things like love don't last forever
I found some photographs of us
I stumbled upon some pictures of us that captured happy moments
Wrote on the back that we were happy once
I wrote a note to remind us of our past happiness
And I tried to mail it to your house
I wanted to reach out to you and rekindle our love
But the mailman said that no one lives there now
You have moved on and left that part of your life behind
And you're not online
I can't even reach you through the internet
You left no signs
You have moved on and left no trace of our love behind
I guess that that's just life
I have come to accept that life can be unpredictable and relationships can fade away
People float by
People come and go in life, including relationships
But I don't really know why
I can't understand why our love story had to end
All good things must fade
I have come to the realization that even good things, like love, don't last forever

I know this song by heart. It once was true for me. I listen to a lot of song and I have not clue why I am sad all the time, but it to know you understand the song because you been or going through it.
