Fading In, Fading Out Lyrics
Life is fast, life is strange
Every breath is filled with happiness or pain
The story goes till you reach the end
Why give up when there's a chance to start again?
How many times do we need to hear it?
There's a light out there, no need to fear it
Fading in, fading out, isn't that what life's about?
First you're here, then you're gone
Still the world goes on and on
But that's all right, I'm here right now
It takes so long sometimes to figure out
Fading in and fading out
Lightening strikes and shines so bright
But when it's gone, we're never left without the light
But I believe there's more than this
It all can't be just show biz
Fading in, fading out, isn't that what life's about?
First you're here, then you're gone
Still the world goes on and on
But that's all right, I'm here right now
It takes so long sometimes to figure out
Fading in and fading out
Tell me, why we're here?
All we really need is love
And when I disappear
I pray that I have left enough
Fading in, fading out, isn't that what life's about?
First you're here, then you're gone
Still the world goes on and on
But that's all right, I'm here right now
It takes so long sometimes to figure out
Fading in and fading out
All we really need is love
Fading in and fading out
All we really need is love
Fading in and fading out
All we really need is love
Fading in and fading out
[Incomprehensible]
Every breath is filled with happiness or pain
The story goes till you reach the end
Why give up when there's a chance to start again?
There's a light out there, no need to fear it
First you're here, then you're gone
Still the world goes on and on
It takes so long sometimes to figure out
Fading in and fading out
But when it's gone, we're never left without the light
It all can't be just show biz
First you're here, then you're gone
Still the world goes on and on
It takes so long sometimes to figure out
Fading in and fading out
All we really need is love
And when I disappear
I pray that I have left enough
First you're here, then you're gone
Still the world goes on and on
It takes so long sometimes to figure out
Fading in and fading out
Fading in and fading out
All we really need is love
Fading in and fading out
Fading in and fading out

It's about mortality, and how life and death can be both beautiful and scary. But he's come to terms with the inevitability of death("no need to fear it") and the immediacy of life("that's all right, I'm here right now").
The song sounds light-hearted and cribs a famous Beatles lyric, but the message is deceptively nuanced.
A great opener to an underrated album.
