Fade - Staind (With lyrics)

[@Jab_Xuddah]

a wise man once told me, "if you cant be yourself, who can you be." it was my cousin R.I.P. gary i love you.

[@MH-sm1kf]

I wanted to write an understanding yet optimistic post. Knowing the feelings of worthlessness most of my life, yet still clinging to my childish optimism of the future. Your cousin Gary nailed in one sentence to explain what would take me many paragraphs and I would still not be understood.

[@akwiseguy]

True.... too fucken true

[@mrmustangmam]

this song reminds me of my dad, he died when i was 15 , im almost 30 now, but still im angry that i was nvr able to talk to him about my life. please guys keep trying to communicate with the parent that you need, dont stop fighting for that relationship

[@samsmith4228]

The parent has to want a relationship with their children

[@diggocombs4548]

Thats deep bruh.

[@sandyk2948]

My Dad died when I was 15, too. I'm 49 now and still pissed off!

[@milliimaverickmuuzik1812]

Reading your comment really touched my heart and hit home because I lost my dad when I was 6 years old however within those 6 years I spent majority of all of my time with him and it's crazy because I can remember it just like it was yesterday and I'm almost 40 and I hated it was a lot of things I didn't get to ask him about life either. But I'm willing to bet just as I believe my life has been blessed with a male figure that I can look up to like a father, your life has been blessed the same way as well. Most times when God takes something away or a person he has already lined up the blessing to come behind that although no one can ever replace your dad nor mine.. I must say God knew and knows exactly what he was and is doing at all times. Prayers for you and the family although it's been 15 years or so since he passed away that hurt never goes away but I'm glad that you got to spend as much time with your dad as you did because it was much more time than I got. I don't even know you but I love you brother keep your head up cuz just as God is I'm sure your pops is with you every step of the way in spirit

[@JDOE1331]

Same bro lost mine at 14 and I’m 28 still sick about it

[@CheeseyGutterBall]

I had a buddy that loved staind. We would jam this all the time. He was killed in a shooting 4 years ago. Never got over that loss.

[@zestobouzombie]

Still fading in 2020 and it's worse. Now I'm older and my anger faded to bitterness and depression.

[@tracycolman7150]

💔

[@roygmartinez]

I had a horrible childhood with 2 alcoholic parents and abandonment issues plus lots more! I relate and get comfort from his music!

[@norinrad7676]

roygmartinez sorry man, life gets better trust me ☺

[@LalleMangaming]

same :(

[@danagrant8259]

Same! I can relate to so many of their songs!

[@Crippinbarbie]

Im here for u an it hits me hard like that 2😊

[@roygmartinez]

@@Crippinbarbie thank you!🙂

[@aliyahhhh336]

" I only know that I can change, everything else just stays the same. " hits different when you have changed so many times for so many people and they still dont give a crap about you

[@83joonior]

You may have misunderstood

[@KrimsonApoLLo]

My absolute favorite from Staind!

[@jasonraser40]

KrimsonApoLLo dad will show u how to work.

[@bornwithbsguards]

song still whoops ass many moons later

[@reneleazenby3972]

this song makes me cry every time, over my only love & loss,when you wrote I love you in stone , I thought you/she meant it for ever, I was so wrong this song just reminds me,you can never get back what was given freely, a trusting heart can be broken and never be the same and the pain will never fade away,turns you into a weak person or stone,thanks for the reminder staind great song,life time lesson

[@fatixavi36]

2019 still think of this song

[@williamwagner2687]

Hay you are right. They kick ass. Your as hot as them.

[@countrybill45]

This is one of those songs that have the power to hurt and the power to heal all at the same time.

[@nicolaconnolly33]

reminds me of a very dark place, nice to be able to listen finally and understand how true this is. Beautifully crafted though, despite the angst, full of power and emotion, he must have been very sad when he composed this

[@timothyrush5620]

I was in foster care and adopted. I feel this way toward my father. I love him, and forgive him, but this song portrais my feelings. beautiful song

[@1BigDaDo]

Please dont hate your dad for doing what he could at the time... you know now life can be a bitch and hard... plz just talk to him

[@lofrando]

it seems the surface I am scratching is the bed that I have made. Perfect combination of two cliches. As we dig into our problems, we find we created them. "Scratching beneath the surface," and "You made your bed, now lie in it."

[@domais68]

Well-done.

[@paranormalscavengers6625]

Loren Doyle well said.

[@DragonWingRayne]

This is quite literally the most epic song i have ever had the pleasure of hearing.

[@alexshaw3415]

This song has been a huge success mentally it really describes a huge part of my life thank you for this

[@lolag3663]

Boooyyyyy that band!!!! OMG!!!! 😩😩🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@fearrising10]

this was the good staind. break the cycle and dysfunction have to be my favorite cds from them.

[@fruitlupes314]

i love rock music but rarely like almost every song of a certain band but staind i could say i love each song their lyrics are incredibly written anyone can relate to them. one of theee best bands out there.

[@jeremygallimore924]

Breaking Benjamin.

[@redneckrebel2425]

staind straight up rocks and hits you deep in every song

[@amberwaller7152]

Totally reminds me of the relationship I had with all three of my so called parents growing up. Although I am a way better parent the pain in me still resides.. That's why I love this so so much!

[@theresagraney7113]

yea i get it me too...

[@QueenB9315]

After I found my father, I made him listen to this song. I haven't seen him in 24 years and I'm 26. I feel like this song really expresses how I feel not having him around when I've needed him, no matter what the situation is with that. Thank you for making this video. Great job!

[@crushed_soul4205]

I love this song so much its pretty deep.. ♥️

[@greenraven7962]

SMALLVILLE

[@irishtothebone13]

This songs describes how i feel toward my parents perfectly.

[@WastedMilkshake]

2024 still same feelings for this song 15 years later, thank you Staind

[@xdjackiedavisxd1]

again, i can relate to this so much. ugh.

[@fbobbyoh]

Right? I feel like staind speaks hella to people with daddy issues or chick trouble lmao . or I guess dude trouble in your case

[@xdjackiedavisxd1]

i had dad issues in my past actually. and it doesnt just speak to me about my family issues its alot of different meanings for me. staind is one of my favorite bands.

[@fbobbyoh]

You and me both . touches on a lot of emotions and struggles with a good heat

[@calebbartlett367]

xdjackiedavisxd1 Me too!! I had a terrible relationship with my mother and the line "I just needed someone to talk to" gets me everytime :/

[@dannyd7059]

Blacktoast1234 r u fucking stupid telling someone to kill themselves? shame on u. Ur going to hell quick

[@jonathanhicks163]

Sometimes we need music like this to help us think

[@EldaflyPonce]

Yeah!!! me too!!!!! I loved this song when appeared in Smallville!!

[@mattwils5069]

this song always gives me chills, it always makes me think when i hear this

[@rugbyobsessedblokestudios468]

[@dakodaaustin8549]

[@josephcingrani7161]

this never gets old.

brendenf244j It does now and the official video has almost 6 million

[@LilVegeta9000]

Thank you Smallville for bringing me to such an amazing singer!

[@dgngnd1594]

it's funny how their songs seem to say exactly what i feel

[@joeyflorez4301]

I love this song 2021 and still listening to it ,takes me back to a place I hate and live so much 😞😞😞😞

[@doorsfan711]

yeah, this album definitely had some good songs to help you through the tough times

[@Peoplesuuck]

This song is for any and all who doubted me, especially the one I loved. I never meant to fade... But I'll be the one shining in the end.

[@MrBurlingtonNorthern]

God doesn;t hate anybody, Your hate is confused and you only know how to blame it on someone else, or God in this case, when you realize and learn how not to hate yourself, you will then learn how to love everyone, and God for the strength to do this.

[@ritacolunga137]

This song is dedicated to an old friend, well someone I thought was my friend..

[@marksanchez8962]

Love the profile pic. Had to subscribe

[@MAODRAX]

this song reminds me of what the future is for me

[@prototype3947]

Exactly how I feel about my dad. He was never there for me when I was young. Always too busy with his girlfriends going out and getting drunk

[@moralesvenom6641]

mine was always out being high and shit i know the feels

[@angryhonker5331]

Literally the same for me.

[@LukeSkywalker-mq4zk]

Same

[@saywhat..]

Sorry guys just don't repeat the pattern no dad here l was and always will be there for my kids l let them fall but always pick them up

[@MushroomStampGalactica]

There’s a lot of self loathing in stainds music, but at 40 years old I really do get it.

[@vegcat8982]

Why did I forget this song!

[@sd8448]

This is so fuckin right on point! It's hard to sleep, eat, or breathe when the memories overtake my mind. The newest of thoughts impossible to concieve. I know that I can and will change but those thoughts stay the same, powerful and consuming. I can wait, but not even the slightest of help will ever come, no matter whats at stake. This isnt the person I knew but the one I created by expressing and embellishing all that I loved about them. my anger is only scratching at the bed that I have made. It's hopeless when one has become completely apathetic and self absorbed.

[@kimberlyyoung1500]

Agreed

[@CapitanvanderCliff]

when i was in high school tis group safe my life. greetings from México

[@kearayuk]

I can relate to this song so much!I thank stained for their music it helps so much since in going threw family neglect myself

[@theallseeingeye9]

"i only know that i can change everything else jus stays the same". so you know what u have to do! i felt like some of you guysn ladys . u should express to them what u feel cause that energy is a costant vortex that only destroys and sometimes there is just no words that can slow it down (the vortex of anger.) be safe and peace to u all.

[@ravenman1967]

This song gets to me every time I listen to it !!

[@TwitchyMama86]

Always liked this song. Thought I "got" it as a teenager lol but now I understand much better! Come back to rock where u belong Aaron!

[@laudatosiadastra1218]

I have related to these lyrics. My own interpretation has been that the pain I held inside after going through my own hell was unable to come out because the closest people around me also experienced their own hell as a result of me when my life had been turned upside down due to an illness. When I needed others I didn´t have anyone ´they were too busy with themself`. Friends and family were living far away on other side of world. I had no friends and hid in darkness. My brain couldn´t handle lights, sounds or any complex situations. The anxiety within me was so overwhelming. The guilt had totally wrecked me and as a result I had created a prison that I sat within, away from all that was beautiful. It´s been a decade and now reflecting back, I was luckily released about 1.5yrs ago. The music of Nightwish released me and I will never go back to that darkness.

[@JWADDMollieVideos]

I love Staind!!!! How could someone not??

[@zestobouzombie]

Everyone I've loved since I was a child. I've related to this song way too long

[@yoitsFEARS]

Smallville brought me here

[@Dragnforce555]

The first Staind song I've heard, but it's beutiful . . it really speaks the truth about how tough life can be, I just hope that no one else has to ever feel as sad as he must've been when he wrote this . . like this if you agree.

[@PhilRockwell]

This brotha here Slept on this one surprisingly cause I was a fan in the 90's. One night listening to Pharrell on the bench he played and song in his raspy tone 😂. I was like this is a stone cold jam 🎸

[@bobshouse123]

Me too mate. Fantastic stuff, both of the aforementioned forms of entertainment.

[@SG_Acid]

People will always percieve things in their own personal way. Let them do so. I am just glad people are putting some feeling in their listening. The song can give whatever message you want it to give to yourself which is why we are listening. Is it not?

[@BenignAndaHalf]

Great song.

[@misaelguevara8746]

Here in 2018 this song/band will always be in my playlist

[@mrsmcknight83]

My dad died Monday and this song has always reminded me of him.

[@norinrad7676]

mrsmcknight83 I'm sorry I hope things get better

[@jazmindabner1399]

Good song.

[@denisehedden13]

🔥Awesome Song🔥

[@unrivledblue]

i love this song...

[@MrTravis233]

Fuckin Staind till i die, Aaron Lewis is the brother i never had. This music is life.

[@johnpyro881]

Sad and depressed song can reach parts of your emotions you never knew existed

[@norinrad7676]

john pyro yes it cuts the core

[@QuHrrr]

Aaron Lewis = Ear Candy ❤️

[@isasecret]

I might have diabetes now lol

[@busch2174]

Was just thinking of my girl of 8 years, I lost bc of my actions. This song came on as I was thinking of her, and man, did this hit me. O'how I've been a fool 💔 😢

[@3Oh3metrostation]

just heard this song on the radio like 10 seconds ago an had to hear it again an again an ..again!hahalove it

[@missleo2003]

this song makes me think of my husband ...he never gave a fuck about me!!

[@AndrewWarrenPatriotsfan]

+nichole bryan My EX Girlfriend

[@chidieberetravails]

nichole bryan sorry to hear sweetie. What a loser

[@Sjudit84]

I keep returning to this video and your comments...thank you for answering..I guess I am in that state now and have to try to restore my faith too...

[@aliyahhhh336]

Dedicated to my dad in 2010 rededicated in 2020 and all the years in between...

[@Crossf4ce95]

dedicate this to my dad.always only worried about his booze and never his kids.

[@calebbartlett367]

Whenever I listen to this song I cant help but think of the relationship I had with my Mother!! The chorus of the song practically sums it up to a T

[@metallicak5]

I absolutely agree. My mom always brought me down, though horribly of me, never appreciated me, and was negative about my life.

[@calebbartlett367]

+metallicak5 I guess it's important for us to realize that we are someone and that we deserve to live a life where we are appreciated for who we are as a person

[@calebbartlett367]

+mhajri35 I am not looking forward to them dying but they were really bad helicopter parents and never let me make decisions on my own they always made them for me. Now that I am an adult I struggle with being my own person because of the fact they made decisions for me and I have a hard time thinking for myself!!

[@rishi62]

me too. I was an angry depressed teen and i used staind to cope. Now its almost a decade later and im glad i went through that and i love Staind

[@jubileeofpuppies]

When you realize a song you listened to years ago explains everything you feel to the T.

[@96guitargirl]

ive listened to these guys since i was a lil girl i still love them and i wont stop

[@bradleypestyk1036]

Love the beginning of the song with the guitars

[@lynngayearon]

oh im smearing on the chorus *thumbs*

[@The4thLetter]

just another amazing Staind track..

[@kristenhinton3484]

2020 is still one of my favs..🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@akashsharma6827]

BEST SONG EVER

[@Yourloozer25]

DAMN! This song is powerful.

[@Prestige29]

gotta lover the chorus to bits... I just needed someone to talk to You were just too busy with yourself You were never there for me to Express how I felt I just stuffed it down Now I'm older and I feel like I could let some of this anger fade But it seems the surface I am scratching Is the bed that I have made

[@hunterlee4412]

I'm just putting this out there but, since the song never specifies who it's directed at, how many of you think it can apply to friends.

[@melrubright]

I personally think its about family... When I listen to it I think of my family... Guess it could apply to just about any type of relationship really

[@funnyvideosRawesome5]

Why would anyone be friends with someone who was never there for them? People choose friends. If someone chooses to be friends with someone like that, they don't deserve to bitch. Family can't be chosen. That seems more likely to me.

[@hunterlee4412]

I think so to but since I don't really have as much family problems as friend issues due to social anxiety I choose to interpret it in my own way. And I was wondering if anyone else felt like it applied to more than just family.

[@melrubright]

I think it could apply to whatever you FEEL it applies to. Open to interpretation I suppose.

[@fbobbyoh]

I hear "romantic relationshittt" or like in my case my pops . problly jus depends on yur background

[@bmschneider30]

2001 MTV music awards ,the end of summer prior to 9/11 those were the days !!!

[@jf752]

probably their best song... in my opinion

[@InjectMeSweetly79]

Both of my parents, honestly.

[@davidwatson2327]

TiltedSaturn ur different from the ordinary person...

[@richardcastillo3568]

no matter how much I say I don't give a fuck that my parents werent their deep down I know im lying

[@sheapantera]

When I was 4 I walked in on my mom drunker than a skunk crying on the floor with this song on repeat. I think that was the night she tried to kill herself.

[@DeviantBris4nce]

Ditto

[@brookelickliter9821]

I feel you in my own way

[@Vampirelove48]

Is it weird that I prefer sad or deep music. Even though, I've had a great childhood (not bragging)😊.

[@anthonys4455]

Your not bragging. You have to be at peace with yourself. This world is evil. Bless you my friend.

[@anthonys4455]

Learn about human behavior . Psychology.

[@MasterMiser21]

Vampirelove48 can i take a guess and say you prefer to be by youself in a "safe spot" rather than out with friends?

[@cristiansantos5023]

Vampirelove48 well you don't gotta brag about it....

[@reinerdxb]

Bahaha If u had a great childhood- You wouldn't be here

[@eliasestrada16]

staind always gives me the feels man😭

[@arinross523]

i'm surprised Staind made it; they are still relevant and their music proves to have passed the test of time. it's still real good, what, 20 years later?

[@KeithBlanding]

I love this song

[@TheStatuatoryApe]

Great chorus.

[@katylavere9258]

There isn't a single staind song that I can't relate to. I can always sing along.
