Fading Fast

The Go-Gos

You thought that I was on your side
And I'd do anything for you
But you found out yesterday
That you were wrong
I opened up the door
I said we were through

Now you're calling me
You want me back again
But I've just got to turn my head
And start to pretend

I've never seen you
You're someone I don't know
Are you just another boy
That I met long ago

You had me all to yourself
I thought that you were such a prize
I finally came to my senses
When I heard just one too many lies

You can talk about old times
They don't mean a thing to me
You're fading fast
Out of my memory

    My Interpretation
    Well I have adored the go gos for a LONG time. I was in rehab when I actually listened to this song for the first time. I have had the album downloaded to my ipod for a few years and always just skipped over it. Funny how things work out. I dedicated this song to my addiction. I realize its about a guy but music is open to interpretation which is one of the reasons music is so healing. For me its tellimg my addiction to fuck of and leave me alone. That im not falling for the bullshit triggers and demands that I for so many years buckled to.

    "You can talk about old times They don't mean a thing to me You're fading fast Out of my memory" I love that. If it were true there wouldn't be a song about it.
