Fade
The Impulsive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can feel you crawling away from me
Like the venom in your veins
I can see the memories fading
Like a storm after the rain
A lie led by the shadow
Whispering your name
You gave into the darkness
This life that you betrayed
(Break me, save me) Breathing life through distorted eyes
(Break me, save me) Will they see you come alive?
You couldn't save yourself, running blind
Bow to the darkness as it takes your life
The war going through you made everything change
I try to replay the good times, but the memories fade away
Days growing longer
It's the coldest holiday
Didn't write it in a letter
Never said it to my face
(Break me, save me) Didn't stay for a final goodbye
(Break me, save me) Temptations from the darkest lie
You couldn't save yourself, running blind
Bow to the darkness as it takes your life
The war going through you made everything change
I try to replay the good times, but the memories fade away
(Break me, save me) Breathing life through distorted eyes
(Break me, save me) Will they see you come alive?
You couldn't save yourself, running blind
Bow to the darkness as it takes your life
The war going through you made everything change
I try to replay the good times, but the memories fade away




But the memories fade away
I try to replay the good times, but the memories fade away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Impulsive's song "Fade" is a poignant portrayal of a lover who feels the impending demise of a relationship. The first line "I can feel you crawling away from me/Like the venom in your veins" reflects the pain of the singer as they watch their partner drift away slowly. The lyrics "I can see the memories fading/Like a storm after the rain" evoke a sense of grief and heartache as the singer realizes that the happy moments they shared together are slipping away like the raindrops that dissipate after a storm.


The next verse conveys the idea that someone else is affecting the lover, leading them to betray their life. The lyrics "A lie led by the shadow/Whispering your name/You gave into the darkness/This life that you betrayed" suggest that the lover is being influenced by something darker, leading them to their demise. The chorus repeats the words "Break me, save me" which portrays the singer's desire to save the relationship but realizing that it is beyond their control.


The third verse delves into the impact the relationship's end has on the singer. The lyrics "Days growing longer/It's the coldest holiday/Didn't write it in a letter/Never said it to my face" express the singer's isolation, devoid of any communication or contact from their partner. In the end, the lyrics "But the memories fade away/I try to replay the good times, but the memories fade away," suggests that the memories of the relationship will slowly fade away, leaving the singer with a sense of longing for what could have been.
