Background

Logic said in an interview with Genius that "“Fade Away” is about accepting death and that no matter who you are, what historical figure, any of that, one day your name will be forgotten. Whether a comet hits the Earth or we all repopularize one day, you'll be forgotten. Do something for you before you fade away."[3][4]
