What is Fade To Grey about?
🎶 Fade To Grey song analysis
The song is about a lonely, scared man carrying a suitcase and hiding from someone or something. He feels like his life is slipping away and he wants it to end. The rain reminds him of a past summer and he hears a distant song, feeling as if life is just passing by. The chorus repeats the phrase "we fade to grey", meaning that everything becomes dull and lifeless, including the protagonist himself.
