Your love is fadin'
I feel it's fadin'

When no one ain't around

Fade away-ay-ay-ay
I think I think too much

Roll up, roll up
Hold up, hold up
Po' up, po' up

Work the middle 'til it hurt a little

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kanye West's song "Fade" from The Life of Pablo convey a sense of fading love and the internal struggle that comes with it. The repeated phrase "Your love is fadin', I feel it's fadin'" suggests that the singer is experiencing a decline in the love and connection they once felt in their relationship. The lines "When no one ain't around, I feel it's fadin'" and "Ain't nobody watchin', I feel it's fadin'" indicate that the fading love becomes more apparent when they are alone or when no one is paying attention.


The lyrics also touch upon the singer's tendency to overthink, as they mention "I think I think too much." This might suggest that their thoughts and doubts contribute to the fading love. However, the repetition of the phrase "I feel it, fade away" and the desire to "rock the boat" and "work the middle" imply a strong desire to salvage the relationship and reignite the passion.


The second verse expresses a sense of frustration, with the singer declaring themselves as a "real ass nigga" and disregarding how others may feel. This could reflect their resistance to vulnerability and a reluctance to confront the fading love. The repeated refrain of "I just fade away" suggests a resigned acceptance of the fading love, while still holding on to a glimmer of hope.


Overall, "Fade" explores the complexities of a relationship in decline, with the singer grappling with their own emotions, desires, and the fear of losing the love they once had.
