Mazzy Star – Fade Into You Lyrics 15 years ago
I think this song is about someone who is in love with someone who is too damaged to feel love. Everything on the outside seems to be in place, but shadow and stranger imagery suggest that this person is floundering, unable to connect. The lover/singer is desperately trying to connect, hold the hand inside of someone who has yet to come to grips with themselves. They are not ready, still blind. It is so tragic to love someone like this. I have. This is the person who cannot give back. They sabotage themselves, colors their eyes with what's not there. The object of this song deep down cannot understand why anyone would love them. "strange you never knew" refers to this sense of self loathing and doubt. This person cannot see themselves as lovable even though the love is so real to the singer. Tragic.
