Fade
Wisdom In Chains Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Change direction one more time.
Change your looks and change your mind.
I don't believe a single word.
You're not a part of what I love.
We would be better off if you just leave.
Watch them fade like you know it had to be.
I'll still be doing the same old shit that I was yesterday.
Fade away cause we knew you couldn't stay.
We see it all the time so we'll sit back and watch you fade away.
I've taken my bumps, I've taken my falls.
I've been knocked down and through it all this one thing always stayed the same.
I've seen them come, I've watched them go so I'm just trying to let you know this is for the ones that still remain.
Where are you gonna be tomorrow?
Where did you lose yourself today?
Watch them fade like you know it had to be.
I'll still be doing the same old shit that I was yesterday.




Fade away cause we knew you couldn't stay.
We see it all the time so we'll sit back and watch you fade away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wisdom In Chains's song "Fade" appear to be a message directed towards someone who has changed their direction in life in a negative way. Perhaps the person in question used to be someone the singer loved, but they have since changed their looks and minds to the point where the singer no longer recognizes them. They do not believe a single word the person says, and they do not want them to be a part of their life anymore. The singer believes that both they and the person in question would be better off if they just left. They watch the person fade away, knowing it was inevitable.


The singer then reflects on their own life and experiences, acknowledging that they, too, have "taken their bumps" and "been knocked down," but they have always remained true to themselves. They have watched others come and go, but they are still standing strong, and this song is dedicated to the ones who remain. The singer questions where the person in question will be tomorrow, and where they lost themselves today. They watch them fade away again, knowing that it was only a matter of time. But the singer remains constant, still doing the same old things they were doing yesterday.


Overall, the lyrics to "Fade" seem to be about change and the inevitability of people fading away, whether by choice or circumstance. The subject matter is somewhat somber, but the tone of the song is somewhat defiant, with the singer proud to have remained true to themselves despite the changes around them.
