Fading Away Lyrics
It's in this wake that I find myself
Losing the will to resume this hell
When every breath is a dying wish
It's harder to follow the point of this
This broken place that I call my home
Is deep in the sorrow that I have sewn
And i can't erase what is in my heart
I wanted to finish before it starts
My own solution insufficent again
No false illusion, this devouring threat
I break the vessel, giving air to it's red
and open my fate to the darkened sky
I've been fading away
I've been waiting for a call to reach my veins
Ready or not
No attention to waist
Every sorrow of the soul will reap my name
When I cease to exist
Now I've come to a final sleep
I pray that forgiveness is mine to keep
I know it's hard to forgive this man
Driving the failure into your hands
When I cease to exist
Losing the will to resume this hell
When every breath is a dying wish
It's harder to follow the point of this
Is deep in the sorrow that I have sewn
And i can't erase what is in my heart
I wanted to finish before it starts
No false illusion, this devouring threat
I break the vessel, giving air to it's red
and open my fate to the darkened sky
I've been waiting for a call to reach my veins
Ready or not
No attention to waist
Every sorrow of the soul will reap my name
When I cease to exist
I pray that forgiveness is mine to keep
I know it's hard to forgive this man
Driving the failure into your hands

Quite Frankly This song means alot to me. This song basically represents my past few years of christianity. I think this song talks about how you can still be a christian and still wonder from the path. The whole idea of old habits coming back. In my case depression is a major issue. this is basically talking about depression. "It's in this wake that I find myself Losing the will to resume this hell When every breath is a dying wish"
"This broken place that I call my home Is deep in the sorrow that I have sewn And i can't erase what is in my heart I wanted to finish before it starts" here he is talking about how he cant erase what has happend in the past, but he wants to finish what he started. Again probably referencing our want to sin.
In the next stanza he talks about how we all try to find ways of not feeling the guilt of our sin.."My own solution in discretion again" and how we are always waiting for something...some calling "I've been waiting for a call to reach my veins Ready or not"
In the last stanza i think hes just talking about himself and how when he dies he has a salvation and forgiveness is his to keep because Christ came and died for our sins. "I know it's hard to forgive this man Driving the failure into your hands" Here hes talking about how he shouldn't have been forgiven and i think the driving the failure into your hands has reference to the cross about the nails, but instead the weight of sin."
I find this song painting a picture of someone who is faultering and finds there way back.
I gave my boyfriend the special edition with the DVD of Storm The Gates Of Hell for Christmas. I find this song to be almost suicidal. "Losing the will to resume this hell When every breath is a dying wish" It also speaks of the "false solution" To me, this song is nearly a direct reference to suicidal thoughts/feelings.
i see that too!
i see that too!
This song is about a life that is without Christ. It shows the desolation that is a life without Christ. Depression leads to suicidal feelings, and, as the song says, Our own solutions are insufficient. In the end the man asks for forgiveness for his sins and is forgiven.
This is what I get understand the song to mean.
"It's in this wake that I find myself Losing the will to resume this hell When every breath is a dying wish It's harder to follow the point of this" These lines seem to be contemplating the point of living.
"This broken place that I call my home Is deep in the sorrow that I have sewn" Deep in the sorrow that I have sewn, referring to the mess this person has made in their life.
"And i can't erase what is in my heart I wanted to finish before it starts" This person feels hopeless, and feels like they can't change the way they feel.
"My own solution insufficent again No false illusion, this devouring threat" Trying to fix the problems on his/her own has gotten them nowhere.
"I break the vessel, giving air to it's red and open my fate to the darkened sky" I break the vessel, giving air to it's red, talking about Harming his/herself in some way, and open my fate to the darkened sky, is talking about dealing with the consequences that come with those actions.
"I've been fading away I've been waiting for a call to reach my veins" This person seems to want help, but isn't receiving it.
"No attention to waist Every sorrow of the soul will reap my name When I cease to exist" This person isn't feeling what he/she feels, or doing what he/she is doing for attention, but rather because they truly do feel this way, and "every sorrow of the soul will reap my name when I cease to exist" seems to be saying something like they're going to miss me when I'm gone. I'm a little fuzzy on that verse.
"Now I've come to a final sleep" Seems to be talking about when the person dies.
"I pray that forgiveness is mine to keep" They hope they will receive forgiveness for the things they've done.
"I know it's hard to forgive this man Driving the failure into your hands" Not exactly sure what this line is referring to. Possibly Christ when he was on the cross, and by us doing things that aren't right or whatever, it pains Jesus. Just a guess. Pretty sure I'm wrong though.
"When I cease to exist"
I think this song is really about feeling alone and not being noticed until you're not there anymore. I agree with berserkerray about how "I know it's hard to forgive this man Driving the failure into your hands" means that with all the sins we've committed its hard to be forgiven
ive struggled with this songs true meaning, but ive learned alot here and have come to a conclusion for myself. I think we forget that sometimes everybody even christians struggle with depression. in this case this persons depression is attributed to life in general. being a christian, but becomning stagnant in there faith. waiting and waiting. i believe in this case, and i know people have done this before. instead of listening to what God wants us to really do, we listen to ourselves and justify it, either by saying it was Gods path or by it not being his...

Ive experienced this pain first hand. I used to go to vhurch all the time in high school, and do msission trips, and youth groups, and I loved it, but there was always that voice in the back of my head telling me there was more than God. So I rebbeled at 18 started doing drugs drinking not working, and i continued this self destructive path for almost2 years before i wound up in jail, homeless, little to no friends left, i tried to "break the vessel my body the tmple or vessel of God, and "open my fate to Gods hands" I knew I had done wrong all that time and tried to blame (my own solution) all my problems on my parents or the church, friends, instead of coming back to God. this is a long hard road, this song really cut right through me. i was at a point where i really wanted to kill myself, but I just wasnt listening to God. take the time to just lieten to God. please. and sometimes you think even if you were saved before, that God couldnt have room on his back for the sins youve been doing for all these years (driving the failure in your hands), but thats whats amazing about God. he is always there, even in your darkest hour.

i think its about the fact that we are fading from this world and how we want God to do somethin about it. awsome new single by demon hunter!! cant wait till the album comes out!
I see a lot of this song reflecting a chronological view of someone who's struggling with the weight of the world.
in a way your both right but it is also about ryan himself
