Fade Away
dezabel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never fade to black
Getting so high
In the Pontiac
All the negatives
Wouldn't take 'em back
Faded summer nights
Always in my thoughts
But you never call
Such an optimist
Maybe to a fault
Going 80 on the five, by your side in Dior
Still feels like yesterday, wasn't that long ago
What if it came again, way it happened before
Would you let it play out, leave it all exposed
In the picture so fast
Just to fade away, just to fade away
Guessing when it's good it don't last
Just a little late, just a little late
Shooting in the dark with no flash
Couldn't see it straight, couldn't see it straight
You came in the picture so fast
Just to fade away, just to fade away
I just met somebody new, it's been hard to focus
I don't want nobody else's love unless it's hopeless
Oh, but I'm tryna stay open, yeah
Feeling things
When I shouldn't be caring
Kinda stings
To know you'll never be there again
What it mean
If you're crossing my mind
Like more than sometimes, yeah
Still think about you like something's missing
My friends say leave it but I don't listen
In the picture so fast
Just to fade away, just to fade away
Guessing when it's good it don't last
Just a little late, just a little late
Shooting in the dark with no flash
Couldn't see it straight, couldn't see it straight
You came in the picture so fast
Just to fade away, just to fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Can't say it's not there in
The back of your mind
Just looked at my phone and
You called me three times, yeah
Going 80 on the five, by your side in Dior
Still feels like yesterday, wasn't that long ago
What if it came again, way it happened before
Would you let it play out, leave it all
In the picture so fast
Just to fade away, just to fade away
Guessing when it's good it don't last
Just a little late, just a little late
Shooting in the dark with no flash
Couldn't see it straight, couldn't see it straight
You came in the picture so fast
Just to fade away, just to fade away
The lyrics to "Fade Away" by dezabel is a reflection on past memories and relationships that didn't quite work out. The first verse describes the feeling of catching a glimpse of a happy moment from the past, but realizing that it's merely a polished memory that doesn't show the whole picture. The second verse describes a specific memory with more detail, where the singer was driving with a partner in a fast car, but ultimately the relationship is characterized by disappointment and not lasting long. The chorus repeats the phrase "Just to fade away" over and over again, conveying the feeling of bittersweet nostalgia that unfortunately never lasts.
The bridge expresses the singer's struggle with moving on and finding someone new, but still feeling the lingering presence of their past relationship. Despite knowing that it's probably best to move on, the thought of their ex still holds them back. The final verse references a missed call from the ex, suggesting that even though the relationship is over, there's still a connection that can't be fully severed.
Overall, "Fade Away" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and loss, and the lingering impact of past experiences on the present moment.
Line by Line Meaning
Glossy memories
Vivid recollections that remain crystal clear in my mind
Never fade to black
Do not lose their brilliance
Getting so high
Achieving great euphoria
In the Pontiac
Riding in the car
All the negatives
Reasons to regret or feel shame in past experiences
Wouldn't take 'em back
Despite the negatives, still cherishing those memories
Faded summer nights
Memories of summer nights growing distant with time
Back in Montreal
A dazzling memory of spending time in the beautiful city
Always in my thoughts
A memory that permeates my mind
But you never call
Despite the nostalgic memories, you never reach out to me
Such an optimist
Remain hopeful in life
Maybe to a fault
Perhaps maintaining hope even when it is not rational
Going 80 on the five, by your side in Dior
A clear vision of riding together in the car
Still feels like yesterday, wasn't that long ago
Despite time passing, the memory is still vivid and fresh
What if it came again, way it happened before
Contemplating a possible future where the past memories could be repeated
Would you let it play out, leave it all exposed
Would you let the relationship develop and be open about your feelings
In the picture so fast
Becoming part of my life quickly without any warning
Just to fade away, just to fade away
Despite the relationship starting strong, it ends abruptly
Guessing when it's good it don't last
Wondering why the good times always end quickly
Just a little late, just a little late
Realizing that I was a little too late to save the relationship
Shooting in the dark with no flash
Making decisions without having all the facts
Couldn't see it straight, couldn't see it straight
Blinded by the intense emotions and unable to make rational decisions
You came in the picture so fast
You became a part of my life abruptly without warning
I just met somebody new, it's been hard to focus
Despite meeting someone new, I struggle to forget you
I don't want nobody else's love unless it's hopeless
I only want love that has a sense of adventure and excitement
Oh, but I'm tryna stay open, yeah
Despite wanting adventurous love, I remain open to other possibilities
Feeling things
Having intense emotions about things I should not care about
When I shouldn't be caring
Feeling emotions when I know I should not
Kinda stings
The emotions are painful to process
To know you'll never be there again
Accepting that the past memories will never be repeated
What it mean
Wondering about the significance of the persistent memories
If you're crossing my mind
If my thoughts continue to be dominated by you
Like more than sometimes, yeah
Thinking of you constantly, not just on occasion
Still think about you like something's missing
Feeling like something is incomplete without you
My friends say leave it but I don't listen
Ignoring the advice of friends to move on from the past relationship
Can't say it's not there in
Confirming that thoughts of you continue to linger in my mind
The back of your mind
A subconscious thought, always present but not in the forefront of my mind
Just looked at my phone and
Suddenly noticing missed calls from you on my phone
You called me three times, yeah
Several attempts to reach out and connect with me, even if it goes unanswered
