Fading
Shallou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We′re just caught in a game, lost in our ways and who can we blame? If only
We found some other way to turn it around
We're just living for now, no telling how we'll find our way out
Why would you, why would you go and throw it away?
Why would you, why would you go and throw it away?
We build it up to tear it down
Broken pieces on the ground
We′re damage done so on we run
Holdin′ on to fadin' love
Holdin′ on to fadin' love
Holdin′ on to fadin' love
I′ve been hangin' my hopes on all that you say
Words won't fill in the holes if we′ve given up on findin′ a way to hold on
The world that we know will tremble and shake
If we don't see it now, it won′t be long before it breaks
Why would you, why would you go and throw it away?
Why would you, why would you go and throw it away?
We build it up to tear it down
Broken pieces on the ground
We're damage done so on we run
Holdin′ on to fadin' love
Holdin′ on to fadin' love
Holdin' on to fadin′ love
Why would you, why would you go and throw it away?
Why would you, why would you go and throw it away?
We build it up to tear it down
Broken pieces on the ground
We′re damage done so on we run
Holdin' on to fadin′ love
We build it up to tear it down
Broken pieces on the ground
We're damage done so on we run
Holdin′ on to fadin' love
Holdin′ on to fadin' love
Holdin' on to fadin′ love
The lyrics of Shallou's song "Fading" explores a love that is slowly deteriorating despite efforts to hold on. The chorus questions why someone would throw away a relationship that they have built up, only to tear it down and leave pieces broken on the ground. The verse suggests that the couple has been playing it out but nothing seems to change, they find themselves lost in their ways and unable to turn things around. The phrase "holdin' on to fadin' love" reinforces how the couple is desperately trying to maintain their love despite it slowly slipping away from them.
The lyrics identify the root cause of the couple's fading love as giving up on finding a way to hold on. They have hung their hopes on all that has been said, but words cannot fill the holes that exist between them. The world they know is also trembling and shaking, yet they are oblivious to it. This can be interpreted as suggesting that while they remain fixated on their love, they are unaware of the world around them changing, and they are not adapting to the changes. They are living for now, and they do not know how they will find a way out.
In conclusion, Shallou's "Fading" lyrics convey a sense of despair and desperation in a relationship that seems beyond repair. Despite the couple's efforts to hold on and build up their love, they have found themselves caught in a vicious cycle of playing it out and tearing it down. The lyrics reveal a growing sense of hopelessness as the couple struggles to find a way out of this cycle before their love finally fades completely.

This has so many connections to new and old sound. Absolutely love the vocals, very 90's electronic/dance beat and a great hook and outro. Incredible song all the way through. Absolute adventure
