Discover the story of the song > Never Fade – Alice In Chains

This song is about the protagonist feeling sad and suffocated because of someone he used to be close to (his partner). He feels like he is disappearing and wants to disappear completely. But even when it's dark and he feels lost, his partner is always there to guide him. The protagonist feels like his partner thinks he has forgotten about her, but he wants her to know that he hasn't. He wants her to know that he is not what she thinks he is. Despite feeling cold and losing control, the protagonist knows that his partner is always with him and that he will never fade away. The song ends with the repetition of "never fade" to emphasize this message.
