Fading Away

James Taylor

Transposer:

When I've got something to say don't I always let you know? So that you and I can go my way together. And if I get carried a-way I could be sailing on a song and maybe we could carry on forever. But lately this old dog has been chasing his tail round and round and round. And the circles in my mind they have been winding slowly down. Everybody's breezing up but I'm seizing up I'm freezing up and I'm fa-ding away. I've got a hold on a night in June I've got room for you and me. I've got moonlight up in the trees I've got sixty-eight degrees. I've got nothing on my mind but I've got loving in my heart And I've got something out in the garden I want to show you. Well it really doesn't matter after all if we quit this round about and no one will really notice if we just sit this next one out. You can strike up the band without me you may have your doubts about me But I'm just fa-ding away. You can hardly even see me because I'm fa-ding a-way. (Instrumental) Well it's hard to find a label for this feeling in my bones. That this is all a make-believe but my cards are on the table and there ain't nothing up my sleeve. And here I thought I was a thinking man but I'm a shrinking man I'm sinking man I'm fa-ding fading away. Well it's really not so bad to be fa-ding a-way. Come on along with me and we'll go fa-ding a-way. You can hardly even hear me because I'm fa-ding a-way.

La chanson évoque un sentiment de perte et de confusion, où le narrateur se sent en décalage avec le monde qui l'entoure. Malgré son désir de partager des moments simples et authentiques avec un être cher, il se rend compte qu'il est pris dans un tourbillon de pensées qui lui échappent, comme s'il n’arrivait plus à saisir le fil de sa vie. Il exprime une volonté de se retirer de cette agitation, préférant la douceur de l’intimité à la frénésie ambiante. Le contexte semble être une réflexion sur le passage du temps et les difficultés des relations humaines, où l'on cherche à se reconnecter avec soi-même et avec les autres malgré les incertitudes. Cet élan vers la quiétude souligne une quête d’authenticité dans un monde qui ne facilite pas toujours les liens.
