Fade
The Driver Era Lyrics

Ha-ha-ha-ha-uh

Fifty-four
A reference to Shakespeare's Sonnet 54, which explores the idea that beauty fades over time, revealing a person's true nature.

Shakespeare said before

That when your beauty fades
Referring to the inevitable physical decline we all face as we age.

This verse distills your truth

And then there's you

Nobody ever gets closer

Find a good reason to wake up

Is there a reason why?

It's all just gonna fade away

We're all just gonna fade one day
Reminding the listener that we are all mortal beings who will eventually deteriorate and die.

In hope of better times I'll wait
Finding hope in the promise of a brighter future, despite the transience of the present moment.

But do you have time to hold on with me?

You make it alright

And I will hold on
Promising to stay committed and supportive through life's challenges and difficulties.

Until I'm not strong

We're faded it's true

We're fading too soon
