As the light in your eyes
Fade from your lifeless body
Transcending on your way out

I was listening to Out and i decided to point out that fade should be fades. ok.....that is all. (here come the bombardment of insults and "stfu"s)

Oh yea.....i do realize that ironically, i spelled "grammar" wrong in the title. just savin you guys the time and trouble of adding it to your bombardments.

Actually, I don't think that is supposed to be FADES because adding the "s" would make it past tense. Leaving it as FADE means that it is currently happing. Transending is what the fading does- that's why transend is written in the form it is.

At least that is the way I thought it was to be.

fade is right yo! fades would be more like past tense..
i just woke up i can't do better this second...
but it make sense in my head

 

[Marlies]

Huh?? How can an s mean past tense? A d would..

To fade:

Present
I fade
you fade
he/she/it fades
we fade
they fade

Past
I faded
you faded
he/she/it faded
we faded
they faded

In the lyrics fade refers to the light.. the light fades.. so with an s I would say!

 

[Marlies]

unless fade was meant as a noun... but then there should've been another verb before transcending, like "is" (as the light in your eyes is transcending)

 

[MetalRose]

You're right with adding the "D" not the "S". I'm still exhausted from moving in... and back to no hot water again. *sigh*

I still don't think the "s" belongs in there though. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The noun before "Fades" and "Transending" could be implied as well. I guess that's what I was trying to get out.

ok.. I'm awake now and can't remember how the gears were working to come up with anything... so just nevermind me...

 

[Marlies]

but I'm happy to see you! I miss you.. are you never online anymore? did you solve the hotmail thingie? are you not lonely? how's everything?

 

[Pakistexican88x]

it should be FadeS because its the light thats doing the fading not the eyes. most verbs get Ss at the end of them for singular nouns. taking away "in your eyes" it would be "As the light...fades away"

We're with the thread starter on this one.

 

[Pakistexican88x]

haha schweet!

 

[King Size]

I thought you were going to comment on the "now your on your own", but yeah you're right here too. It should either be "fades" or "lights".

But meh you know what they mean, right?

 

[SirDidymus127]

fades would be grammatically correct.

 

[Jester Jake]

woah i thought it was Grammar and not "Grammer"

 

[Pakistexican88x]

[MetalRose]

fades would be grammatically correct.

Regardless if it should be fade or fades, they're Canadian, so give 'em a break, eh? /tease

affirmative action doenst really apply on the internet. actually its kinda the complete opposite XD

 

[Dmanx Pit]

Hard to explain, but it works rather well as is in poetic form, even as 2 seperate strands of thought in the same chorus.

I should of paid attention more in english But I know the way they put that is right in a poetic sense.

 

[Chester Desmond]

If you read it in this way it makes sense (to me anyway):

(In the same way) As the light in your eyes (is fading,)
Fade from your lifeless body
Transcending on your way out

 

[Pakistexican88x]

but then what is it that is fading from the body in the same way as the light in the eyes?
