Wither Away
40 Below Summer · Invitation To The Dance
A twist of fate that leaves me open
Will it all fade away?
From my life, and leave me broken
It's all just a game
As you left me here to wallow
It's all been a fake
And it's hard to swallow
And I wither away and die
Tomorrow's just another day to cry
I wither away and die
Clip my wings
Without you I can't fly
Can’t fly
Can’t fly (Can’t fly)
What if life were a dream?
Would you be they’re waiting for me?
Suicide in a sleep
I'd rather die and have you miss me
And it all went away
The pain of watching you deny me
I've fallen again
Inside
And I wither away and die
Tomorrow's just another day to cry
I wither away and die
Clip my wings
Without you I can't fly
And I wither away and die
I can't get away from myself (So far)
I can't get enough of your love (I can't escape)
I can't get away from myself (So far)
I can't get enough of your love (I can't escape)
I can't get away from myself (So far)
I can't get enough of your love (I can't escape)
I can't get away from myself (So far)
I can't get enough of your (I can't escape)
And I wither away and die
Tomorrow's just another day to cry
I wither away and die
Clip my wings
Without you
And I wither away and die
Tomorrow's just another day to cry
I wither away and die
Clip my wings
Without you I can’t fly
And I wither away and die
Tomorrow's just another day to cry
I wither away and die
Clip my wings
Without you I can’t fly
Fly
Fly
Fly
Fly
Fly
Wither Away
40 Below Summer's 'Wither Away' stands as a defining track from their 2012 album 'Invitation To The Dance,' a pivotal release in the UK indie pop and shoegaze revival. The song exemplifies the band's signature sound, blending dreamy, reverb-drenched guitars with melodic vocals to create an atmospheric and emotive listening experience. Released during a period when the group was solidifying their place in the modern indie landscape, the recording captures the introspective mood characteristic of their discography. It serves as a testament to their ability to craft lush, textured pop that resonates with listeners seeking both sonic beauty and emotional depth, marking a significant contribution to the genre's evolution in the early 2010s.
