Intro:G - - - - - - - 1. It’s K-Mart the bathroom I’m staring in the mirror the green lights are bright it makes the lines clearer. - Where did the angels go cigarette smoke’s all that’s left I’ve traded my wings in for a string of pearls - - - - and now the string is all I’ve le...........ft. - 2. The light bulbs burn so much someone’s in the stall - big white brick wall makes me feel small. - And I I take my shirt off looking for a glimpse of flesh I peel back the concrete I hope there’s still some soil left. ’Cause I am fading I am fading I am fading away. I am fading just like fairy tales when the hero loses faith. ~ I am fading. - 3. The air smells like urine it’s getting hard to breeze I could walk out that door but no one ever really leaves. - And I I take all my clothing off trying not to forget - oh stupid things like the color of rain and the smell of stone when it’s wet. And I am naked in the mirror with a feather in my hand the lady comes out of the bathroom screaming "Oh Jesus!" Like I was a man. And I ask her "Hey what happens to us when we get old and in the way?" - I guess she answered me ’cos they they took me away. And I am fading I am fading I am fading away. I am fading just like fairy tales when the hero loses faith. And I can’t remember why or when I hope that I’ll remember again. - - - - - - And I am fa......ding. And I’m fa......ding.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une lutte intérieure avec des sentiments de perte et de désespoir. L'artiste se retrouve dans des lieux sombres et familiers, se regardant dans le miroir et réalisant le vide qui l'entoure. Elle fait allusion à des rêves perdus et à la difficulté de se reconnecter à des moments de bonheur simples, tout en se sentant de plus en plus éloignée de son ancien moi. Le contexte semble être celui d'un moment de vulnérabilité, où les réflexions sur la vie et le passage du temps prennent une place centrale. Les références à des expériences banales, mais marquantes, soulignent la solitude et le sentiment d'effritement de son identité.
