Love Fade
Tamaryn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tender heart
Tender sea
In the sun
we can't descend

Under citylights
a silver ring
on the sea
enough to say

I fade
I, love fade
as the sun rise

warstruck wine
washed this skin
downimprinted life
across your bed

I fade
I, love fade
as the sun rise

I fade




I, love fade
as the sun descends

Overall Meaning

The song "Love Fade" by Tamaryn is a deeply contemplative and poignant reflection on the nature of love and its fleeting impermanence. The opening lines of the song, "Tender heart, tender sea, in the sun we can't descend," immediately set the tone for a meditation on vulnerability, depth, and beauty. The image of a tender heart and sea suggests a sensitivity and depth of emotion that is exposed to the world, unable to retreat from the bright and scorching light of the sun. This metaphorical imagery is extended throughout the song, with references to the "under city lights," the "silver ring on the sea," and "warstruck wine," all of which point to the ephemeral and transitory nature of human emotion in the face of larger forces.


The repeated refrain of "I fade, I love fade, as the sun rise[s] / descends" adds another layer of meaning to the song, suggesting that love is not only fleeting but also subject to cycles and rhythms beyond our control. The pairing of "I fade" with "love fade" implies that the singer's own identity and sense of self-worth are inextricably bound up with the ebb and flow of love, leaving them vulnerable to the whims of emotion and circumstance.


Taken as a whole, Tamaryn's "Love Fade" is a haunting and deeply affecting meditation on the beauty and fragility of the human heart.
