Fade Me Out
Fade Me Out – Mud Music Reject
A raw and emotional 80s-inspired rock ballad about standing still while the world rushes past — about mental overload, exhaustion, and the quiet moments where you feel yourself slipping away. Driven by heavy floor toms, gated reverb, neon-soaked atmosphere, and a worn-out male vocal, this track blends hard rock edge with cinematic melancholy. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed, misunderstood, or simply too tired to keep fighting.
once upon a time there was the greatest love
Lyrics
Vers 1
In the quiet of the night, the words fall soft and sweet
She says she loves me, holds me, makes the circle feel complete
But when the morning hits the room, the frost begins to bite
She’s acting like she hates me, and I’m losing every fight
I’m walking on a wire, but the wire’s made of glass
Just waiting for the moment… waiting for the crash
Pre Chorus
Everything I touch, it turns to dust and stone
I’m a stranger in this house, and a stranger on my own
It’s tearing me apart, yeah, ripping at the seams
The shadow of her jealousy keeps haunting all my dreams
Chorus
I can’t do anything right, no matter how I try
I’m caught inside the overload, just a glitch against the sky
I just want to be left alone, find some peace inside my head
But this ADD brain is spinning, leaving every word unsaid
I can’t do this anymore
(I’m slipping away…)
Vers 2
It’s the jealousy that kills it, a poison in the well
We’re building up a heaven just to turn it into hell
My mind is like a broken screen, a thousand channels on
I’m searching for the silence, but the signal’s always gone
Me, myself and I — with this chaotic brain
Trying to find the sunlight through the pouring rain
(…It’s all too loud…)
Bridge
Peace in my mind… is that too much to ask?
Taking off the armor, dropping every mask
[Vokalen stiger i intensitet]
Leave me be — let me breathe!
The noise is getting louder, and I’m starting to believe…
THAT I CAN’T DO ANYTHING RIGHT!
Chorus
I can’t do anything right, no matter how I try
I’m caught inside the overload, just a glitch against the sky
I just want to be left alone, find some peace inside my head
But this ADD brain is spinning, leaving every word unsaid
I can’t do this anymore
(I’m slipping away…)
Outro
I can’t do this anymore…
[Trommerne ebber ud med en sidste tung Phil Collins fill]
Just me, myself and I
Just some peace…
I can’t do this anymore…
