When starting to listen to any one of their songs, it’s instantly recognizable that these men have an ear for infectious melodies and catchy choruses. The thing that brings this entire package to a close is the excessive use of auto-tune. Lead singer Nick Esposito uses the tool almost perfectly; he isn’t using it to make his voice better, but to add an effect to his music. That is the right way to pull off auto-tune: for sheer effect, not for corrections.

Although some of the band’s songs come off as a bit morose in their lyrics, such as in “The Last Song” where Nick Esposito sings “You sleep with your heart broken / Both eyes shut and no words spoken.” These lyrics normally come off as the beginning of a bad Good Charlotte song, but due to the electronic glitches and the dancey rhythms, it’s hard to feel sad when the music feels so good.

This is where the band’s greatest strength comes into play: every single song on the album feels good; you can’t help but smile, or feel like singing along to the catchy sounds the record presents. This band has created the best summer-listening album possible, where every song makes you feel upbeat, and doesn’t let you feel like coming down. Something also impressive about the album is the quality of production: even though it was a self-produced album, Making a Scene sounds as if it was done in a large professional studio paid for by a major label.

Fading
The Title Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sure that you're writing it off
And if you're fighting with the idea
That the meaning is lost
Then you should stop by
Maybe drop me a line
And if it's not too much to ask
Then maybe save me some time

'cause i can't spend a day
Without a thought about you
And the things i'd like to say
I just can't make come out
When your eyes meet mine

We're standing in the fading moonlight
Making the most of the brightest stars in the sky
And of you at my side
(x2)

I've been sitting counting the days
From the moment that we met
Until the second you stayed in my arms
So sure that we knew who we were
In the sense of what it meant to feel completely secure

'cause i can't spend a day
Without a thought about you
And the things i'd like to say
I just can't make come out
When your eyes meet mine

We're standing in the fading moonlight

Making the most of the brightest stars in the sky
And of you at my side

Overall Meaning

In "Fading," the Title sings about a seemingly hopeless love. The singer acknowledges that their significant other may have written off the relationship and that the "meaning is lost." However, the singer urges their partner to reconsider and reach out to them. The singer confesses that they can't go a single day without thinking about their significant other, and they struggle to communicate their emotions directly to them. The chorus beautifully describes a moment of peace and happiness shared between the couple as they stand in the fading moonlight, admiring the stars and each other's company.

One possible interpretation of this song is that it explores the feeling of vulnerability that comes with loving someone deeply. The singer is fully aware that their affection may not be reciprocated or appreciated, but they cannot help but feel compelled to express their love. Despite the potential for rejection and hurt, the couple finds solace in one another's presence and the fleeting moments of joy that they share.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm sure that you're writing it off
I think you've given up on us already

And if you're fighting with the idea
And if you're struggling with the decision

That the meaning is lost
That the purpose has been forgotten

Then you should stop by
You should come and see me

Maybe drop me a line
Perhaps write me a message

And if it's not too much to ask
If it's not a big request

Then maybe save me some time
Then maybe don't waste my time

'cause I can't spend a day
'Cause I can't go a day

Without a thought about you
Without thinking about you

And the things I'd like to say
And the things I want to express

I just can't make come out
I just can't articulate them
