The Palisades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But nothing that you're saying is connecting
Heartbeat, repeat
How do I rise if I'm falling down? (down)
Stop before I go and hit the ground (ground)
I swear it's what I'm gonna do
How do I make myself heal, if I can't let myself in?
'Cause no matter how I try, deep down I'm paralyzed
How do I make myself heal, if I can't let myself in?
I fall, you reach, but I'm just slipping through your fingers
I lie, but you see, without a moment looking for a reason
Burn to die, to feel more alive
How do I make myself heal, if I can't let myself in?
How do I make myself real, when I feel like fading?
'Cause no matter how I try, deep down I'm paralyzed
How do I make myself heal, if I can't let myself in?
If I heal, can I stay, or I fade away?
How do I make myself heal? (Yeah)
How do I make myself real?
No matter how I try, deep down I'm paralyzed
How do I make myself heal, if I can't let myself in?
(Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh)
If I can't let myself in
(Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh)
If I can't let myself in
The Palisades's song "Fade" is a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking piece that deals with issues of emotional disconnect and the struggle to heal from internal wounds. The lyrics are a powerful portrayal of a person who is desperately trying to connect with others but finding it difficult to overcome their internal obstacles. The opening lines, "Lips move, you speak, but nothing that you're saying is connecting," sets the stage for the rest of the song. The singer is physically present, but emotionally disconnected from those around them. The repetition of "heartbeat, repeat" emphasizes the feeling of being stuck, unable to move forward. The line "How do I rise if I'm falling down?" is a poignant expression of the singer's struggle to regain control of their life.
The chorus of the song, "How do I make myself heal, if I can't let myself in? How do I make myself real, when I feel like fading?" further underscores the themes of emotional distance and the desire to connect. The use of the word "real" suggests that the singer feels like they're not fully present, like they're living a half-life. The next line, "cause no matter how I try, deep down I'm paralyzed," reinforces this feeling of being stuck and unable to move forward.
The bridge of the song, "I fall, you reach, but I'm just slipping through your fingers, I lie, but you see, without a moment looking for a reason, burn to die, to feel more alive," speaks to the struggle to maintain relationships when you're emotionally distant. The singer is aware that those around them are trying to connect, but they feel like they're just out of reach. The line "burn to die, to feel more alive" is a paradoxical expression of the self-destructive tendencies that often accompany feelings of isolation and despair.
Overall, The Palisades's "Fade" is a powerful and moving song that explores themes of emotional disconnect and the struggle to heal. The lyrics are filled with contradictions and paradoxes that reflect the complex and multifaceted nature of human emotions.

Lips move, you speak
You are speaking without any emotional connection
But nothing that you're saying is connecting
What you're saying is not resonating with me
Heartbeat, repeat
My heart is beating, but I am stuck in a cycle
How do I rise if I'm falling down? (down)
How do I get back up if I am constantly falling?
Stop before I go and hit the ground (ground)
I want to stop myself before I hit rock bottom
I swear it's what I'm gonna do
I am determined to change my situation
How do I make myself heal, if I can't let myself in?
How can I heal if I cannot be honest with myself?
How do I make myself real, when I feel like fading?

Despite my efforts, I am struggling to take action
I fall, you reach, but I'm just slipping through your fingers
You are trying to help me, but I am unable to accept it
I lie, but you see, without a moment looking for a reason
I am not being truthful, but you are able to see through it without explanation
Burn to die, to feel more alive
I am willing to risk everything to feel alive
If I heal, can I stay, or I fade away?
If I achieve healing, will I be able to sustain it or will I relapse?
No matter how I try, deep down I'm paralyzed
I am struggling to take action despite my best efforts
If I can't let myself in
If I continue to hide from myself

This song gives me strong 2004 vibes. Like, it would fit perfectly on Spider-Man 1 or 2.
