Fade Away
not.me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a thought I finally found
I figured out I'm still the same
Got lost in doubt
My mind's playing games
Do it all over again
I can't do it all again
When I'm alone I find I fade away
I figured out I'm still the same
Got lost in doubt
My mind's playing games
Do it all over again
I can't do it all again
I always try
To say goodbye
But I can't
Seem to shake this
When I'm alone I find I fade away
Got lost in doubt
I'm playing games
When I'm alone I find I fade away
Got lost in doubt
When I'm alone I find I fade away
In a thought I finally found
I figured out I'm still the same
Got lost in doubt
My mind's playing games
Do it all over again
I can't do it all again
When I'm alone I find I fade away
In a thought I finally found
I figured out I'm still the same
Got lost in doubt
My mind's playing games
Do it all over again
I can't do it all again
Deep dive in the darkness
Do demons ever do to sleep
I feel them keeping me awake
See them sip my soul with tea
Sweet sugar-filled palm trees
Memories I can't keep
Brittle bones in my back crack and break
As a black smoke start to creep
And I don't really mind when the time slips away
Finna find myself in the mirror somehow someday
Holding out for change
Is about as pointless of a game that I could play
When I'm alone I find I fade away
In a thought I finally found
I figured out I'm still the same
Got lost in doubt
My mind's playing games
Do it all over again
I can't do it all again
When I'm alone I find I fade away
In a thought I finally found
I figured out I'm still the same
Got lost in doubt
My mind's playing games
Do it all over again
I can't do it all again
In "Fade Away," not.me sings about the feeling of fading away when alone with one's thoughts. The first verse begins with the repetition of the line "When I'm alone I find I fade away," as the singer reflects that they are still the same after some contemplation. However, doubts start to creep in, and the mind begins to play games, causing the singer to feel lost and unable to repeat the same cycle again. The chorus repeats the same lines, emphasizing the sense of loneliness and confusion that comes with being left alone with one's thoughts.
The second verse of "Fade Away" delves deeper into the darkness within the singer's mind. The lines "Do demons ever do to sleep/ I feel them keeping me awake" suggest the presence of tormented thoughts that never rest. Memories become unbearable, causing the singer's bones to crack and break as black smoke creeps in. The preoccupation with time slipping away is also highlighted, as the singer hopes to find themselves someday, but holding out for change seems like a pointless game to play.
Despite the darkness of the lyrics, "Fade Away" ends on a somewhat hopeful note, as the singer comes to terms with their inner struggles. By admitting "I figured out I'm still the same," they acknowledge that this is an ongoing process, but one that they will continue to confront.
