Lisa Cimorelli - Fading Away (Official Audio + Lyrics in Description)

FADING AWAY IS FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!! 😻 I'm so excited to hear what you guys think of this one!
I wrote this song last August when I realized how scarily out of touch with myself I'd been all summer. I didn't really feel sad but I definitely didn't feel happy. I was very grey and numb and it freaked me out. Usually a dark time for me means lots of pain and knowing exactly where it's coming from but this was a strange anxiety lacking any sense of direction or what to do about it.
Eventually I realized I had lost all priority in my own life and I felt so dead inside because I put myself last for months in a row and was feeling the side effects of that. I continually ignored my needs and desires until I couldn't feel them anymore and that was the scary emptiness I was experiencing. It was such a relief to figure that out and be able to do something about it but I was so concerned/scared before I understood that.
If you've ever felt extremely overwhelmed yet completely clueless about how to fix it, just know that you're totally not alone and I'm right there with you. I'm glad I can share this story because if any of you are in the same boat, maybe it'll help you as well to prioritize yourself and your mental health and see if that kicks you back into gear.
Love you guys and remember, you are important. You deserve to feel seen and understood, especially by your own mind. Make sure you're giving yourself the time and attention you deserve 'cause no one deserves to feel so abandoned, especially not by their own heart.

LYRICS:

I feel like I’ve been gone for a long time
My body’s present but I cannot find my mind
I used to love feeling everything inside
But I’m afraid the well’s run dry

Every time I get a second to myself
I can’t help but give it up to someone else
My brain is like a cavernous empty shell
and I’m lost inside

What is going on?
Where has my heart gone?
I miss the sun

CHORUS:
I paint a smile on my face, I keep my hands busy
I try to trick myself but I know I am not okay
I’m breaking under the weight, of the guilt filling up my plate
I feel myself fading away...

I just wanna be left all alone
Don’t wanna say yes
Don’t wanna say no
Don’t wanna hear a sound anywhere I go
The pain is too much, just let me be alone.

It hurts me to stay, it kills me to go
Letting you down, hurts more than you know.
And I could never be, all that you want
And it's been tearing me apart

What is going on?
Why am I so numb?
I miss the sun

CHORUS:
I paint a smile on my face, I keep my hands busy
I try to trick myself but I know I am not okay
I’m breaking under the weight, of the guilt filling up my plate
I feel myself fading away...

And I know I can't keep living this way
All these sleepless nights and wasted days
I know what's to come if I don't change
I'll soon have faded away...

I think of everyone else
But no one's there for me
I've got to love myself
And tell them I am not okay

I'm buried under the shame
And there's nobody else to blame
I feel myself fading away
I won't let myself fade away...

Love you guys,

xo - Lisa Cimorelli

LISA ALL OF YOUR SONGS ARE WAY TOO RELATABLE😭

[Jasmine-nuqu]

This song is so special just like all of Lisa’s songs. The feeling of being numb is something that I’ve felt a lot recently so this so is hugely relatable. It’s not only the lyrics that make it special but the chord progression that takes cool turns and the runs. The whole song is full of metaphors it’s so raw and emotional. I spent a long time just tuning into all of the harmonies one by one. I don’t know why but I feel like I’ve never heard Lisa’s voice with this tone in any other songs it’s so soft yet so powerful. Thank you for creating such a beautiful song Lisa 💕

[daisy-pcxr]

If this is sadder than unloved, wrong, or I don’t deserve it then I’m assuming you want me dead 🙃

[meesan]

“I just wanna be left all alone
Don’t wanna say yes, Don’t wanna say no” I have never related more .... this is such a beautiful song..Lisa you’ve outdone yourself again 😭👏💞

[janina]

I don't like to admit it to myself how much I can see myself in this song. But you left me in tears

[laurencimarchives]

"Fading Away"

I feel like I've been gone for a long time
My body's present but I cannot find my mind
I used to love feeling everything inside
But I'm afraid the well's run dry
Every time I get a second to myself
I can't help but give it up to someone else
My brain is like a cavernous, empty shell
And I'm lost inside

What is going on?
Where has my heart gone?
I miss the sun

I paint a smile on my face
I keep my hands busy
I try to trick myself
But I know I am not okay
I'm breaking under the weight
Of the guilt filling up my plate
I feel myself fading away

I just wanna be left all alone
Don't wanna say yes, don't wanna say no
Don't wanna hear a sound anywhere I go
The pain is too much, just let me be alone
It hurts me to stay, it kills me to go
Letting you down hurts more than you know
And I could never be all that you want
And it's been tearing me apart

What is going on?
Why am I so numb?
I miss the sun

I paint a smile on my face
I keep my hands busy
I try to trick myself
But I know I am not okay
I'm breaking under the weight
Of the guilt filling up my plate
I feel myself fading away

And I know I can't keep living this way
All these sleepless nights and wasted days
I know what's to come if I don't change
I'll soon've faded away

I think of everyone else, but no one's there for me
I've got to love myself and tell them I am not okay
I'm buried under the shame and there's nobody else to blame
I feel myself fading away
I won't let myself fade away
