"Fading", sebuah lagu yang dibawakan oleh Kelly Clarkson, menyuarakan perjuangan individu yang berjuang untuk menyembunyikan rasa sakit dan kerapuhan mereka di balik topeng kepura-puraan. Lagu ini mengeksplorasi perasaan terisolasi dan putus asa yang muncul ketika seseorang merasa kehilangan diri mereka sendiri dan berjuang untuk kembali ke keadaan utuh. Liriknya menggambarkan upaya yang sia-sia untuk mempertahankan fasad kegembiraan sambil menahan rasa sakit dan kesedihan yang mendasarinya.
Fading Lyrics
Kelly Clarkson
Running around
Trying to figure out, now
Where you put your smile down
You can't let them see you like this
Thinking what mask you're gonna front
You grab the nearest one
You take your place
Amongst these faceless others
Underneath the surface
Everything's so backwards
It's all a lie
Run away
Save yourself, let it go
It's too late
I'm losing you
You're fading
Don't move
Sit there in a trance
Do not make a sound
Fool, what were you thinking?
Fallen no one's gonna call
No hands were up at all
You're on your own again
Walls are closing in
You can't feel anything
Becoming one of them
Come back to me
Run away
Save yourself, let it go
It's too late
I'm losing you
You're fading
Fading, fading, fading
Fading, fading, fading
Run away
Save yourself, let it go
It's too late
I'm losing you
You're fading away
Save yourself, let it go
It's too late
I'm losing you
You're fading
Fading, fading
Trying to figure out, now
Where you put your smile down
You can't let them see you like this
Thinking what mask you're gonna front
You grab the nearest one
You take your place
Amongst these faceless others
Underneath the surface
Everything's so backwards
It's all a lie
Run away
Save yourself, let it go
It's too late
I'm losing you
You're fading
Don't move
Sit there in a trance
Do not make a sound
Fool, what were you thinking?
Fallen no one's gonna call
No hands were up at all
You're on your own again
Walls are closing in
You can't feel anything
Becoming one of them
Come back to me
Run away
Save yourself, let it go
It's too late
I'm losing you
You're fading
Fading, fading, fading
Fading, fading, fading
Run away
Save yourself, let it go
It's too late
I'm losing you
You're fading away
Save yourself, let it go
It's too late
I'm losing you
You're fading
Fading, fading
