Fading
To Kill Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ten thousand miles away from where I want myself to be, I'm feeling lost and there's no room for pain in my head. Life is passing by, memories are fading out, we will realize one day we lost all of our dreams. The clouds of our shiny future already went black and everytime I saw your eyes and stood in silence I killed a part of me

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from To Kill's song "Fading" explore the feeling of being lost and disconnected from one's desired path in life. The singer is physically far away from where they want to be, which reflects their emotional distance from their goals and dreams. They feel unable to escape their pain and it is taking over their thoughts. The passing of time and the erosion of memories signify the loss of hope and the fading of their aspirations. The line about the clouds of their future turning black suggests that something once bright and promising has now turned to darkness. The singer also hints at the idea that their own actions, specifically being with someone and not speaking up, is contributing to their own destruction by "killing a part of [them]".

The lyrics overall describe a sense of hopelessness and resignation, as well as the potentially destructive impact that we can have on ourselves. The emotions expressed in the words evoke a strong feeling of melancholy which are further emphasized by the instrumental and vocal choices of the band.

Line by Line Meaning

Ten thousand miles away from where I want myself to be,
I feel lost in life, far from where I desire to be.

I'm feeling lost and there's no room for pain in my head.
Emotionally, I am numb and cannot handle any more pain.

Life is passing by, memories are fading out,
Time keeps moving on and my memories are slowly disappearing.

we will realize one day we lost all of our dreams.
Eventually we will come to understand that we let go of all our aspirations.

The clouds of our shiny future already went black
Our bright and hopeful future has turned bleak and uncertain.

and everytime I saw your eyes and stood in silence
Every time I looked into your eyes and remained silent,

I killed a part of me
I felt like I was losing a part of myself.
