“I have lost the will to live, Simply nothing more to give” - Not wanting to go on living without the one you loved, if it means continuing to feel almost unbearable sadness. “Getting lost within myself, Nothing matters, no one else” - Dealing with one’s own feelings about the loss of someone they love deeply. “Life it seems will fade away, Drifting further every day” - Realizing people WILL & DO die!

The lyrics of “Fade to Black”, more than likely, have different meanings for different people. “Fade to Black” played by a grieving teenager on an acoustic guitar is music straight from the heart. For weeks, I could hear him (alone in his room), learning to play “Fade to Black “. Soon after his father‘s death, he discovered “Metallica” and “Fade to Black”. At the time, he was learning to play an acoustic guitar. My son was only 15 ½ years old in 1997 when his father died of heart disease just before Christmas.
