about

A few months after releasing their full-length debut album, donatachi.com, Donatachi has teamed up with Sydney rock outfit BESTIES for their new single ‘fade away’. With its high energy and nostalgic sensibility, ‘fade away’ tells a story of holding tight onto what you want most and making sure it never fades away.

lyrics

(Verse)
I’ve been running out of time, and I’m scared that I’m not coping
Got you spinning round my mind and I’m sick to death of hoping
That we’ll make it work, you know I tried so put the blame all on my side
You know it hurt but I don’t mind, please hold me now I’m out of time
I’m never sleeping and you’re the reason,
I’m scared I’ll never close my eyes without you creeping
You’re never honest, I’m always cautious
I know that it’s another hollow broken promise

I’m all alone - stuck in my dreams
I got a one-way ticket along light beams
Joyriding to the moon at hyper speed
Got a spare left seat cos you’re all I need

(Pre 2)
I never wanted nothing back
Only you and no one else
Never wanna let you go
More than you could ever know
You gave me everything
I call but you won’t answer me
I’d give this up, give anything
Cos if you leave, I’ve lost everything

(So)

(Chorus)
Please don’t let me fade away
Tears are streaming down my face
Holding on so desperately tonight

Please don’t let me fade away
Mix the pleasure with the pain
Take my hand let’s drift away for life

(Verse 2)
I don’t wanna let you down, but I’m crumbling to the ground
If I’m a star up in the sky, then I think I’m burning out
I hope you catch me when I feel the fall, I’ll try to brake before the wall
I’m spinning out, I'm fighting fate, but fuck I think that I’m too late

I’m all alone - even in my dreams
I got a one-way ticket along light beams
Joyriding to the moon at hyper speed
Got a spare left seat cos you’re all I need

(Pre 2)
I never wanted nothing back
Only you and no one else
Never wanna let you go
More than you could ever know
You gave me everything
I call but you won’t answer me
I’d give this up, give anything
If you leave, I’ve lost everything

(So)

(Chorus)
Please don’t let me fade away
Tears are streaming down my face
Holding on so desperately tonight

Please don’t let me fade away
(Tears stream down)
Mix the pleasure with the pain
(From my eyes)
Take my hand let’s drift away for life
(I'm holding on tonight)

I’m all alone - even in my dreams
I got a one-way ticket along light beams
Joyriding to the moon at hyper speed
Got a spare left seat cos you’re all I need
