Five Tribes – Fading Thoughts

Fading Thoughts is an emotional post hardcore / alternative metal track about losing your identity, watching your memories fade and feeling disconnected from your own life. Driven by haunting melodies, crushing riffs and explosive breakdowns, the song follows a voice caught between emotional collapse and the desperate search for something real. A powerful portrayal of inner decay, isolation and the struggle to hold on when your own mind begins to slip away. #posthardcore #alternativemetal #heavymusic #newmusic #fivetribes ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📜 Lyrics ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Every morning starts the same, a name I know, a face I fake. My memories peel like dying paint, leaving nothing I can trace. I count the cracks above my bed like they might tell me who I was. The silence knows me better now than anyone I've ever loved. If I'm still breathing, why do I feel buried? If this is living, why does it look like decay? These fading thoughts are eating me alive. Every memory rots before my eyes, rust digging into my mind. Waiting for a God who never liked my life. I'm the one who pays, I'm the one who slaves. I just want my fucking mind back. This is where I was supposed to grow. Home never felt like mine. I keep on playing every role, trying to win at another lifetime. Every mirror tells a different lie. Every heartbeat sounds rehearsed. Maybe I disappeared years ago, and no one had the nerve to tell me first. Tell me how many pieces does it take until there's nothing left? How many times must I say my name makes nothing? How many prayers until the terrors sink into the back? Bury the memory. Bury the past apart. If this is who I've become, bury the fucking heart. I can't dig it for a way out and bury myself a grave. These fading thoughts still trouble me, my skin like broken glass on a burning sea. I've become a ghost inside my own cage, watching my life from the outside now. I'm not a person, just my blood and my bones. Now let it swallow me whole. © 2026 Five Tribes. All rights reserved.
