Fader Lyrics

It's in my heart; it's in your soul,
You choose to judge,
Is that your role?
Don't analyse or complicate,
You'll criticise, you can't relate...

And now you want some understanding.
What's my point of view?

Then I'll just fade away
When I hear all your lies I choke
Then I'll just fade away
Suffering from the times you spoke I fade

Regarding more? Just seems much less.
So cynical you must confess.
I'm dying here, completely blind
Your will to live- just dampens mine,

And now you want some understanding...
What's my point of view?

Then I'll just fade away
When I hear all your lies I choke
Then I'll just fade away
Suffering from the times you spoke I fade

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song may relate to the music industry threatening to kill off the band. Their previous album, Host, was a commercial failure and Paradise Lost owed EMI a million pounds by the time they were finished. This time around, their label assumed control of Paradise Lost's music and mixed it in such a way to make it appeal to a broader audience. This song is the embodiment of the band's struggle to exist in such a turbulent environment (Believe in Nothing was leaked on the internet 2 weeks prior to release). The line "suffering from the times you spoke" may refer to critics' negative impact on the band's well-being. All this gave reason for an established band like PL to fade out of existence.
