Love Fade

Tamaryn's 'Love Fade' is a haunting exploration of the transient nature of love, set against a backdrop of evocative imagery and melancholic tones. The song opens with the lines 'Turn the heart / Turn the sea,' suggesting a shift or transformation, possibly in the emotional state of the narrator. The mention of descending 'under city lights' and the feeling of being 'not the same' hints at a sense of loss or change that has affected the narrator deeply. The city lights, often symbols of vibrancy and life, here seem to cast a silvering, almost ghostly, light, emphasizing the theme of fading and impermanence.

The chorus, 'Fade, love fade / As the sunlight,' uses the metaphor of sunlight fading to illustrate the gradual disappearance of love. Sunlight, a source of warmth and life, fading away, mirrors the diminishing intensity of a once-vibrant relationship. This imagery is powerful in conveying the natural, albeit painful, process of love losing its initial spark and intensity over time. The repetition of 'fade' underscores the inevitability and the slow, almost imperceptible, nature of this decline.

In the second verse, the 'walls struck white' and 'diamond pointed light' create a stark, almost clinical atmosphere. The light 'across their backs' could symbolize the harsh reality and the cold truth that the relationship is facing. The use of 'diamond' suggests something precious yet sharp, indicating that while the memories of love are valuable, they can also be piercing and painful. The song closes with the repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the central theme of love's inevitable fade as the sun descends, leaving the listener with a poignant sense of melancholy and reflection on the fleeting nature of love.
