Fading
Zoo Army Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A sea of tears I've cried
I thought I could never live without you
But this turned out to be untrue
I've made a better choice
I can hear your cold voice fading
And I am fading
New face and new name
Surviving as best I can
Ripping pictures forgetting your lectures
Living like a new man
With no fear and no shame
No need for me to explain
Ripping pictures forgetting your lectures
I'm listening to all our favourite songs
I know that this is wrong
It reminds me of what we've been
Through
Why did it all slip away
Like sand through my hands
What happened to our plans?
They are fading
And I am fading
Living like a new man
New face and new name
Surviving as best I can
Ripping pictures forgetting your lectures
Living like a new man
With no fear and no shame
No need for me to explain
Ripping pictures forgetting your lectures
The lyrics of Zoo Army's song "Fading" tell the story of a person who has lost their faith and has been struggling to cope with the aftermath of a broken relationship. The first verse reflects on the pain and tears caused by the separation, and the feeling that it would be impossible to live without the partner. However, the singer gradually realizes that they have made a better decision and can hear their ex’s voice fading away as they move on with their life. The second verse describes the singer’s transformation, as they adopt a new identity and try to forget the past, tearing down pictures and ignoring their ex’s advice. The chorus repeats the theme of the singer’s new start, living with no fear or shame, and listening to their favorite songs that remind them of the past but also help them to move on.
The overall message of the song is one of resilience and hope, as the singer finds the courage to move on and rebuild their life after a difficult experience. The repetition of the phrase "living like a new man" reinforces this idea of a fresh start, and the frame of mind that allows the singer to leave the past behind and embrace a brighter future.

<3Immer noch toll! Ich habe mit damals das Album gekauft und ich habe es heute noch im Regal stehen und ich werde es auch nicht weck geben! Ich hoffe das Gil bei „The Voice of Germany“ nen Neuanfang bekommt, ich wünsch ihm viel glück damit! Und vergessen habe ich ihn als Sänger nicht, so eine Stimme vergisst man nicht! Vielleicht hört man ab jetzt ja wieder mehr und es kommt mehr durch.;) Und noch was allgemeines youtube wird immer doofer, mir persönlich gefällt es momentan nicht so mehr hier!
