Fade
jauz & mike waters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been trying everything, but my heart still bleeds a lot
I don′t know what else to say
I've been waiting patiently for these blood soaked sleeves to dry
So I try to tell myself I'm feeling fine
But no, I don′t have this shit under control
Ohh
If time′s supposed to heal all my wounds
'Cause I′ve been hurting every minute, every day
And it's meant to get easier
But it don′t seem to fade
No, it don't seem to fade
It don′t seem to fade
It don't seem to fade, ohh
Seem to fade
But it don't seem to fade
So I try to tell myself I′m feeling fine
But no, I don′t have this shit under control
Ohh
If time's supposed to heal all my wounds
Tell me, why does it still hurt to think about you?
′Cause I've been hurting every minute, every day
And it′s meant to get easier
But it don't seem to fade
But it don′t seem to fade
The lyrics of Jauz and Mike Waters’ song “Fade” center around the frustration of not being able to get over someone, despite trying everything. The opening lines express doubt in one’s ability to cope with the pain they are feeling. The “blood soaked sleeves” could be interpreted as a metaphor for emotional wounds that have not yet healed. The next lines reveal that the singer has been waiting for a long time for their pain to subside, but it hasn’t, and they don’t know what else to do or say.
The chorus of the song poses the question, “If time’s supposed to heal all my wounds, tell me, why does it still hurt to think about you?” This suggests that the singer has been waiting for time to heal their pain, but it hasn’t worked. The repeated line “it don’t seem to fade” reinforces this idea that despite their efforts, the pain is not going away. The last two lines of the chorus reveal the extent of the singer’s suffering: “‘Cause I’ve been hurting every minute, every day / And it’s meant to get easier, but it don’t seem to fade.”
The final verse repeats the same sentiments as the first. The singer tries to convince themselves that they’re feeling okay, but they know it’s not true. The song leaves the listener with a sense of hopelessness and frustration, but it also captures the universality of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on from someone who has hurt us deeply.
