Fade Away

Diecast

We both knew the answers
To our misery and pain that stained our being
Lost in clouds of comfort
So afraid to take the fall into desolation

What could make you fade away?
I can't pretend that there's nothing left
What could make you fade away?
If there's something then I need it to fade away
Make you fade away
Why can't I make you fade away?

Searching for completion
And so we venture separate ways to find fulfillment
I won't soon forget you
Your mark is branded on my heart and soul forever

What could make you fade away?
I can't pretend that there's nothing left
What could make you fade away?
If there's something then I need it to fade away

Nothing will make you fade away
Nothing

We stand alone
Bonded by our compliance
Examining exactly how this happened
You were the one
The only one I wanted
Your choice was made and
Now I need you to fade away

I need you to fade away

What could make you fade away?
I can't pretend that there's nothing left
What could make you fade away?
If there's something then I need it to fade away

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

When We Were Young
Blink-182

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
