| Counting Crows – Daylight Fading Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is about Adam's relationship with a girl named Elizabeth (number of early Counting Crows songs were written about and for her including Goodbye Elizabeth and Long December), after The Counting Crows became big, she broke up with him fearing that he was cheating on her while CC was on the road. Round about this time Adam was going through insomnia (waiting for the moon to come and light me up) he is still waiting for her to call ( I am waiting for the telephone to tell me I'm alive) but she's moved onto someone else (I heard somebody got their fingures into you) , fame is not what it promised to be(Calafornia is getting cold) just to stray a bit Fame is something that Adam has struggled with, meanwhile he is getting old (Daylight fading) and he fears that he will be alone and his anger about that relationship is turning into fear. Also she says that everybody loves him but he feels that everything he has ever loved disappears from inside him (But all the things I keep inside myself they vanish in the air). His anger persists and he says even if she would ask him to wait for her he would not, infact he wants to leave everything he knows ( including his friends) and just get a fresh start- but when you're that famous where are you gonna go. The Chorus: I am getting old, come back lets try for another year, my anger and pride has turned into fear of lonelyness. | |
