Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel like its sum wrong wit me my soul is in decay
Got another day fore i rest in peace
Feel like im locked up in a cage i kno ill neva change
Jus a mockingjay neva living free
Had a lotta time to pray a lotta things to say
For my family and my enemies
Sometimes I wanna take my life just let my soul fade away
Motherfuck everybody quick to looking down on me
I'm on my lonely by myself feel like i need to medicate
Die a legend living as nobody cuz people fake
Deez haters wanna hope on ya wave as soon they think u straight
Feeling like the notorious b.i.g aint no debate
No second chances all over life got me feeling like im so lost
I'm so lost tryna see the light before its closed off
This anxiety killin me tryna hold on
Put hollow tips in my Nogen and then i doze off
Feel like its time to fade away i hear the 808 let this 38 be the death of me
Feel like its sum wrong wit me my soul is in decay
Got another day fore i rest in peace
Feel like im locked up in a cage i kno ill neva change
Jus a mockingjay neva living free
Had a lotta time to pray a lotta things to say for my family and enemies
Got the reaper aiming at my tummy seconds fore im done
I asked the lord to drop me dead im guessing he the only one
Go bananas wit my pencil while my mental need the gun
Can't talk to niggaz no solution no advice can bring me up
Closed off introverted always been a fragile nigga
Stressing everyday I feel like seeing god at every minute
Show my love to everybody that gave me support relentless
I mind my business say fuck the world cuz I'm different
Niggaz pushed out me out I could neva fit in
All this hate behind my back can't see where love will begin
At the end of the road cut it short wit my friends
I got the devil inside my body I'm giving in
Feel like it's time to fade away
I hear the 808 let this 38 be the death of me
Feel like it's sum wrong wit me my soul is in decay
Got another day fore I rest in peace
Feel like in locked up in a cage I kno I'll never change
Just a mockingjay never living free
Had a lotta time to pray a lotta things to say for my family and my enemies
Think it's time to fade away
I hear the 808 let this 38 be the death of me
Feel like it's sum wrong wit me my soul is in decay
Got another day fore I rest in peace
Feel like in locked up in a cage I kno I'll never change
Just a mockingjay never living free
Had a lotta time to pray a lotta things to say for my family and my enemies
The lyrics to The Haunting A.D.'s song "Fade" depict the struggle of someone who feels trapped in their own mind, struggling with anxiety and the pressure of trying to fit in with society. The urgent and haunting beat of the 808 combine with the lyrics to create a tense and claustrophobic atmosphere, reflecting the singer's state of mind. The mention of the 38 symbolizes a gun, which the singer contemplates using to end their life. The line "just a mockingjay never living free" references the bird from The Hunger Games, which is a symbol of rebellion but is also trapped in a system that it cannot escape from. The singer sees themselves as a similar figure, unable to break free from the cage that they are in.
Throughout the lyrics, the singer expresses their loneliness and sense of isolation. They talk about being pushed out by others and feeling like they can never fit in. The line "die a legend living as nobody cuz people fake" highlights their frustration with the artificiality of modern society, where people are more concerned with appearances than with authenticity. The mention of "haters" who want to jump on the singer's "wave" is a commentary on the way that success can attract insincere people who are only interested in riding on the coattails of others.
Ultimately, the lyrics express a sense of despair and hopelessness, with the singer feeling like there is no solution to their problems. However, there is a hint of resignation and acceptance in the final lines, where the singer acknowledges that they have "a lot of things to say" for both their family and their enemies. This suggests that even in the depths of despair, there is still a desire to communicate, to express oneself, and to make a connection with others.
