Fade away

(Vinyl crackle + gentle synth pad)

“Mmm… nights like this feel empty too,

The air still smells like you.”

(808 kick and snare enter slowly)

⸻

“We talked like stars before the dawn,

Now the sky feels overdrawn.

Promises float where silence grew,

Every echo reminds me of you.

Touch still burns like neon signs,

But your heart crossed over lines.

Love once loud now slips away,

And I don’t know what to say.”

⸻

“You said forever like a melody,

But time played out the harmony.

Every note just fades to gray,

Can’t stop the sound from slipping away.”

⸻

“Fade away — like lights at closing time,

Love was gold — now it’s just a rhyme.

I keep your ghost in every line,

Pretending I’m fine, but I’m losing my shine.

Fade away — like the stars at dawn,

Our story’s played, the record’s gone.

I’ll dance alone where memories stay,

Watch your shadow… fade away.”

⸻

(Beat switch to low 808s + electric piano)

“Yeah…

Pillow talk — now I’m talkin’ to ghosts,

Empty space — but it hurts the most.

Love’s a glitch — I rewind slow,

Tryna find peace in the undertow.

Every message left on read,

Every dream still in my head.

I chase your name in pixel rain,

But all that’s left is the echo of pain.”

(Female humming “mmm fade away” underneath)

⸻

Female: “Would you still hear me if I called?”

Male: “The silence answers — after all.”

Both: “Two hearts tried to sync the sound,

But one beat lost, the other drowned.”

(retro guitar riff echoes)

⸻

Female: “Fade away — like smoke in rain,

Love’s perfume still says your name.”

Male: “Every loss just carved my frame,

Still I’d love you all the same.”

Both: “Fade away — but don’t erase,

You’re the ghost I still embrace.

I found peace in shades of gray,

Let the hurt just fade away.”

⸻

(Synths and drums slowly dissolve)

“I’ll fade,

But maybe one day — you’ll fade too.”

(Ends on a single retro synth note held in reverb)
