FADE AWAY
Slow Skies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and the one that you can leave me hide
and if darkness comes in light
it can find you in the dead over the night
to go far, we've been to run out into another day
look to the stars and i know now i never be safe
whatever you touched
it all just fades away
i never do much
of all that i can light
whatever it supposed to be
glowing in the dark
when we fly and go
it can make the stars
you all lie on
then we forget you
the stars are so unknown
i wipe off the dust
whatever you touched
it all just fades away
i never do much
of all that i can light
whatever it supposed to be
The lyrics of Slow Skies's song "Fade Away" describe the feeling of separation and loss after a relationship has ended. The first stanza talks about "separating lifes," suggesting that the two people involved have gone their separate ways. The singer explains that they are willing to let go and "leave me hide" from the other person, but the sadness remains: "and if darkness comes in light / it can find you in the dead over the night." These emotions are intensified by the difficulty of moving on: "to go far, we've been to run out into another day / look to the stars and i know now i never be safe." This suggests that the singer is trying to escape the pain by focusing on something other than their former partner, but this is ultimately unsuccessful as the stars they look to can't offer safety nor comfort.
In the chorus, the lyrics become more introspective. The singer describes wiping off the dust of the things the other person touched, emphasizing the idea that the relationship is fading away. The second half of the chorus has two parts. The first part suggests that the singer didn't give the relationship their all: "i never do much / of all that i can light / whatever it supposed to be." The second part presents a contrast: "glowing in the dark / when we fly and go / it can make the stars / you all lie on / then we forget you / the stars are so unknown." This suggests that the relationship had the potential to be something special and magical, yet it ended up being forgotten, leaving the singer alone in the dark with the memory of the stars they used to share.

separating lifes
The things that divide our lives apart
and the one that you can leave me hide
And the one you can use to hide and leave me behind
and if darkness comes in light
And even if darkness comes upon us in the light
it can find you in the dead over the night
It can still find you even in the darkest of nights
to go far, we've been to run out into another day
To go further, we've had to run and escape into another day
look to the stars and i know now i never be safe
Looking up at the stars, I realize I will never feel safe
i wipe off the dust
I try to wipe away the remnants
whatever you touched
Of whatever you have touched
it all just fades away
But it all just fades into oblivion
i never do much
I never seem to accomplish much
of all that i can light
Out of everything that I can possibly illuminate
whatever it supposed to be
Whatever it was supposed to become
glowing in the dark
Shining bright even in the dark
when we fly and go
As we soar and take off
it can make the stars
We can almost make the stars
you all lie on
That you all sleep under and dream of
then we forget you
But then we leave you behind and forget about you
the stars are so unknown
The mystery of the stars prevails
