FADE AWAY
Susanne Sundfרr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sound of your heart, it sounds lonely
I think we're drifting apart
We're drifting apart, ever so slowly
Fade away
Fade away, my love
Fade away
Out of sight
This is the sound of my heart
The sound of my heart, it sounds of me
It feels like I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart, ever so slowly (I've got to)
Fade away
Fade away, my love (I've got to)
Fade away
'Til I'm out of sight
Out of sight
This is the kind of love that never goes out of style
'Cause baby I know that you'll always be waiting
And I’ll always want to come back
This is the kind of love that never goes out of style
'Cause baby I know that I'll always be waiting
And you'll always want to come back
Oh, let us fade away
Fade away, my love (We're gonna)
Fade away
'Til we're out of sight
Out of sight
The lyrics to Susanne Sundfør's song "Fade Away" seem to express feelings of isolation and detachment from a loved one. The song suggests that the distance between the singer and their partner is growing larger and larger, and they fear they may soon be out of sight of each other. The line, "This is the sound of your heart, the sound of your heart, it sounds lonely," is particularly evocative, indicating that the singer can sense their partner's emotional state even without speaking to them.
The chorus of the song, "Fade away, fade away, my love, 'til you're out of sight, out of sight," indicates that the singer may be resigned to the end of the relationship. The repetition of the phrase "fade away" makes it clear that the separation is happening gradually and may be irreversible. However, the end of the song offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer suggests that their love is the kind that "never goes out of style," and they will always be waiting for each other to come back.

This is what Abba would have sounded like in 2015 had they never lost their touch. I can think of no greater compliment. What a song.
@sereannaav30
This comment!! All my life I've loved ABBA and I think it's why I love this song so much.

@ricowegner2012
Absolut. Das sehe ich genau so. Eine weit unterschätzte Künstlerin. Habe sie eigenttlich erst durch Röyksopp entdeckt. Sie hat noch weit viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient.
