Cover art for Fade Away lyrics by Breaking Benjamin

I honestly cant figure out the meaning of this song. It sounds like a relationship ending and then it hits this person like a wall after awhile because he is questioning if it really happened. The other meaning I get out of it is this person is having a panic attack due to social phobia or something. I get the panic attack from the chorus when he sings fast I fade away meaning the panic attack comes on quick and then you start hoping that it ends soon and thats the (its almost over again) part. The Slow I sufficate part also goes along with panic attacks because when your having one you cant really explain whats going on besides feeling like you cant breath for a few seconds after. The cold and broken alone part could be that nobody is around to help because the only person who can get panic attacks to go away is yourself?

I honestly have no clue what this song is about though to be honest, just my 2cents lol.

I'm cold and broken

Its over I didn't want to see it come to this I wonder If I will ever see your face again And I know That I will find a way to shed the skin Its simple I know that I will suffer in the end

Defnitly about a relationship! Their relationship ended and he know he will make it through but suffer without her.

Its hopeless The end will come and wash it all away Forsaken I live for those I lost along the way And I can't Remember how it all began to play I suffer I live to fight and die...

What is it about people and making every freaking song about breakups? There are other subjects, open your mind.

Yes but it is one of the things everyone can relate to. That is why even if a song isn't about a relationship people will think it is, if that makes any sense. Songwriters write about what they know and many of Breaking Benjamin's songs are about relationships ever since they started.
