1.Two People was a mid-1980s British band consisting of Mark Stevenson (lead vocals/guitar) and Noel Ram (guitar/vocals). They released a number of singles between 1985 and 1987, scoring two minor hits on the UK Singles Chart with the songs "This Is the Shirt" and "Heaven".They featured on BBC Radio 1 In Concert in 1985, backed by their live band Brad Lang (bass), Ian Penman (keyboards) and Steve Creese (drums). Their record producers included Nigel Gray, Neil O'Connor and Chris Porter. They were signed to Polydor Records, but despite much promotion, their singles failed expectations and were dropped before releasing an album.
2. Two People’s debut record First Body draws its strength from simplicity. Born of former Snakadaktal members – and former teenhood sweethearts – Phoebe Lou and Joey Clough, the duo are a sombre, murmuring descendent of their previous band.
Fading
Two People Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need a house
Not a heart
Wear your mask
I don't mind if it's paper
Break in at night
Throw things around
'til the walls fall down
I can't sleep
I can't sleep
I can't sleep
We are fading
Feel me fading
Feel me fading
We weren't scared
Drenched and obsessed
'bit well dressed
I don't mind if it's paper
Break in at night
Throw things around
'til the walls fall down
And I fall out
We are fading
Feel me fading
We are fading
Feel me fading
Tonight, we fight, we fight
Tonight, we fight, we fight
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
We are fading
Feel me fading
We are fading
Feel me fading
We are fading
The lyrics to Two People's song "Fading" express feelings of detachment and fading love towards a partner. The opening lines "Start looking, I need a house not a heart" indicate a desire for shelter and detachment from emotional attachment. The following lyric "Wear your mask, I don't mind if it's paper" could be interpreted as a metaphor for hiding one's true self or facade in a relationship.
The verse "Break in at night, throw things around, 'til the walls fall down, and I fall out" suggests a desire for destruction or chaos. This could signify that the singer wants to end the relationship, but is unable to do so. The repetition of the line "I can't sleep" reinforces the idea of restlessness and emotional turmoil within the singer.
The repeated chorus "We are fading, feel me fading" indicates the relationship is deteriorating and the singer is trying to hold on. The line "We weren't scared, drenched and obsessed, 'bit well dressed" could suggest that the relationship was passionate and intense, but has since lost its spark.
Overall, the lyrics of "Fading" convey a sense of detachment and loss of connection in a relationship. The repetition of "I'm fine" may be an attempt to convince oneself or the partner that everything is okay, despite the signs of fading love.
