Lyrics for As Your Voice Fades as interpreted by all_is_vanity

As Your Voice Fades Lyrics
somebody please tell me
what am I suppose to do
you died and i'm here
thinking that i hear your voice,
but it's somebody else
it's always somebody else
why did you die?
don't leave me please
i beg you God tonight bring me peace
i'll never sleep without the dreams of you alive here with me
the brightness left your eyes
as i held your face
don't tell me it's the right time
and your last words will sustain me
until my end...until i see you again
while words (your life) evade me (but a moment)
i'll wait to (i'll cling to) remember you (forever)
and what you had (your words) meant to me (on my blood)
could never be forgotten
the chains (why) of death (don't take)
are falling (away), but my heart still bleeds
it longs for (why) the day (did you die)
when we will be as one

well, since I'm a Christian, I go with the people that say this song is about God and here's why. 1st, like many people have posted, Emery is a Christian band. Second, the lines that read...."the chains (why) of death (don't take) are falling (away)..." I don't think that anyone can take down the chain of death besides Jesus Christ(isn't there a Bible verse that says something along those lines?) and Atreyukidd...i know that he wasn't there holding God's face but he could be putting himself in that position and asking himself, how would I react if I were there when Christ died.... well, that's my take on it...

I agree with OwenB55
Science hans't proved that Jesus didn't existes but
science has proved that the theory of evolution to be absurd.
its easier to belive in God than to belive in evolution
but yet that has nothing to do with this song
this song is Not about God, yeah they are a christian band
thats why he is asking God to bring him peace
this is about a close relative/friend or something
an another thing
"why did you die"
well we all know that Jesus GAVE his life it wasn't Taken away from him..
"until my end...until i see you again"
again? no, he didnt saw Jesus, this line goes to someone
he had a physical relationship with
"and your last words will sustain me"
Cbrownie wrote about that above.
this isn't a worship band, its a rock band that happens to be formed by members who are all christians, yet Christ is the biggest influences and inspiration to all of us so yeah the songs have to be about the HIm

alright...everyone needs to shut the hell up....and listen,,,this song i dont care what anyone says,,this song isnt only and directly towards God...why emery question about jesus dying "why did you die and leave me here"...they already know so why in the hell would they write about it...emery said personally they deal with elements in life not songs towards God..the only song on this album thats directed 2 god is "bloodless"....maybe toby didnt loose someone but he knows someone who went threw the situation and wrote it for them...."i beg you God tonight bring me peace, i'll never sleep without the dreams of you alive here with me"....

ok u see that is directed to God but doenst mean its about jesus....i feel as if this songs refers as someone questioning himself and God because he just lost someone threw death and doesnt know how to cope with it...so he questions God to help him...people need to stop looking at a damn simple line and trying to make it into something totally opposite...

its that fukin simple...for some reason i see it coming from someone whos in bed feeling theese emotions...something like "i miss you " by Blink...as in the title says "as your voice fades" msot people as God and go threw the situations at night.....so its from that prespective....

anyways this song bad ass..they closed with this one as an encore instead of walls.....WooOoooO

weren't His last words, "it is finished" meaning that we have nothing to worry about, because Jesus died for our sins? That would make sense why "your last words will sustain me." It is the last words of Jesus that give us hope in the promises of the Lord.

also, "until I see you again" we may not have knowingly seen the Lord, but He says in the Bible that He saw us before we even existed and created us in the image of the Lord.

and..."everything can be proven by science...be realistic"

Actually, nothing can be proven by science. There is no such thing as a scientific fact, only Scientific theories, and a theory isn't proven, it just hasn't been disproven.

Can you scientifically prove to me, that unless you can scientifically prove somthing, it isn't real?

You can't scientifically prove that love exists, so does that mean that I don't really love my Mom? because YOU can't scientifically prove it?

brokenstar57 is exactly right.
science is just opinions.
we can't prove it's true or not true.

however, we can prove that jesus was real and is the Christ.

i'm not going to go into details, because this isn't the place for that.

i think this song is about Christ dying because of these lines...


what am I suppose to do
you died and i'm here
thinking that i hear your voice,
but it's somebody else
it's always somebody else


i think he's commenting on how so many things in this world can sound so fulfilling and promising, but in reality they are just false lies.
i don't exactly know for sure, but that's one of many things i thought about for that part.

i do think it's all about God though.

I agree with the whole science is just opinions

and I don't know were I stand on this song it very well could be about Christ but I find it hard to see it that way but I don't think its absurd to think a Chrstian band would write about Christ.

I agree with Atreyukidd on this...
I thought it might be about God too until
that whole "As I held your face" stuff.
Though it could be about God AND somebody
close to him that's died, like some have said.
One reason I'm leaning twards somebody close to him
is that he's praying to God to help him
with it so...yeah that's just what I'm thinking..

"why did you die?
don't leave me please
i beg you God tonight bring me peace"

"while words (your life) evade me (but a moment)
i'll wait to (i'll cling to) remember you (forever)
and what you had (your words) meant to me (on my blood)
could never be forgotten"

Those two parts give me goosebumps EVERY time, especially right after the opening.



Definitly NOT about god. Heres why
"don't leave me please"
If your christian shouldn't you know christ is always with you unless you deny him?

'until i see you again'
Point blank he never saw him. Dead give away.

Song is amazing none the less and the beauty of it (aside from just the pure feeling it puts in you) is you can interpret it anyway you want.

lmao this song does not have anything to do with God other than the main character's close friend/family member/girlfriend has died and been taken away from him, and is now in God's hands.

That is the only thing that has to do with God in this song.
The ONLY thing. Sorry people. It's a girlfrend.

In response to all who say that this some has noting to do with God, I have one thing to say. They are a Christian band, yes they do have songs that might not be specifically about God, but I can guarantee that God is the ever present inspiration to all their music. Nothing that they write will be written without the influence of God in their lives. So maybe this one song is not specifically about God, but it is most definitely written for the glory of God.

This song is clearly about someone close to singer who died. The singer is now relying on God for encouragement and strength to make it through. I have a lot of respect for bands like Emery who are able to have such amazing, smart lyrics which aren't just blatantly obviously Christian, but definitely have Christian meaning when you actually think about them.

everyone who says this is about anything to do with religion isan ignorant one-track minded fool.

first: 'Why did you die?'

why the hell would he ask that? its written down in paper why 'Jesus' died.

second: i beg you God tonight bring me peace

yes, they are religios, so he is asking god for help/guidence.

Thirdly: i'll never sleep without the dreams of you alive here with me

unless i'm mistaken the singer really wasnt cruising around with Jesus back in the day.

so to all you dumbass relgios freaks that think every freaken song ever written is about jesus, this one is DEFENATLY NOT.

Alfungo, if you would have read what I wrote right above you, you would realize that not all of us who think this song has religious implications say it is about Jesus dying. Just because a song is "christian" doesn't mean it is directly about God. A song could be "christian" and not mention Gods name or be about the bible. I would just have a view of the world that a Christian would have. This song is about a friend or family member of the singer dying, and he is trying to look to God for strength through all his pain. I think its pretty obvious this song is christian judging by the lyrics of this song and the fact that the members of emery are themselves christian.

personally i think this song isnt about a person but about Jesus and how he wants him to stay close to guide him as he goes about life.... and of course died for our sins and that one say we will meet again in heaven when we die.....

In the acoustic, when he says "the chains (why) of death (don't take)" It sounds like "the chains (why) of death (today)"

I agree with trjn71 and t_p_akbound in ways.


and people are just posting their ideas on this shin dig. Why does every non religous person on here have to shoot the Christain ideas down? I haven't seen any Christians say "DUH this obviously isnt about a girl friend" theyre keeping it open. I personally feel this song is about Christ... Reason being is he constantly keeps sayin you even when hes talkin to God. " I beg you, God, bring me peace" so there whether you think logically or religously. if you also think gramattically you can see that the "you" hes talkin to is God.
It also says in the song "While words (your life)" obviously "the words" in this fragment is talkin about the Bible. and the new testament is all about Jesus' life. And like someone said earlier Jesus is the only person who can make the Chains of Death fall.
I think all the parts where its talkin about physical interactions with the person are metaphorical and arent supposed to be taken literally. Im sure in the guy's actual life he has never held jesus's face. but ive heard people say that in theyre lifetime that they've been so spiritually strong that it felt like u could touch the face of God... i think thats something close to it. and when u feel distant from God its almost like ure lost without him and you cant "hear" him anymore. Maybe thats y the song is called As Your Voice Fades because maybe hes becoming more distant from God b/c of a certain thing in his life most likely a death. You could also say that the "Until i see u again" is a statement that could only be said to someone you knew and physically saw. But if you think of Jesus as the Alpha and the Omega if u saw Him in the end u saw Him in the beginning as well. and Alfungo i think the reason y he screams Why Did You Die is because its a rhetorical question. and the DOnt leave me please is just a state of mourning... maybe hes sorry for what hes done and is asking God for forgiveness. Just like if i did something wrong and i told my Mom please dont hate me. Its just a way of sayin im sorry because really i know my Mom will always love me no matter what. All in all i think this song was disguised. What i mean by that is that this song if you analyze ever piece it comes out to be about Jesus and sayin that i cant wait until i finally meet you. But i can also see it as other people find it asking God for him to help him and the person he lost ease their pain until their in heaven together. I think this song wasnt meant to have just ONE specific meaning but TWO. So that Christian could find it inspiring and so that Secular people could find some hope out of it too.

I could be very wrong about all of what i just said but i just wanted to lay some things out on the table so people could truly decide what they want to believe in this song. I mean my meaning are just like science: based only on theories. HAH!

P.S sorry if offended you by pressing the Shift key to much

In my opinion, Emery (along with many other Christian Bands: like Underoath, etc.) will always have positive lyric. Meaning that in a sense it will sound positive in a male/girl relationship. But also, will be meaningful speaking of a personal relationship with God. So, either way, it's a Great Plus! for bands like Emery. Cuz, they are fulfilling their Calling as Messengers. Cuz, at the end of all, a positive note will always Brighttened the listener. Interpretations are all good here, cuz it fulfills the question in this "Comment Add". Just, please, don't fight over wut the true meaning of these songs may be. Just, rejoice that the songs have a positive ending with a motive to change of life's (personal good)character in one's life. This is an AWESOME BAND! ...BECAUSE, AT THE END OF ALL, THE DIVINE POWER WILL REACH. One song in the album reads at the end of the track of "Listening to Freddy Mercury"... "...it is not our job to make them believe..." The Bible says that it's the power of the Holy Ghost that opens up the conscious in man (humans) to bring understanding of our wrong. Emery is truly a Messenger and great Writer!
