What is Fade to Black?

A classic way to end a scene in cinema editing in which the screen image becomes increasingly obscured until it turns black. It has the advantage of being less abrupt than a simple cut.

The scene where it fades to black while they're kissing - you know what happened next!

Fade to Black - meaning

Track number four on Metallica's 1984 album 'Ride The Lightning'.

A depressing song about suicide/stolen guitar amplifiers.

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can’t be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he’s gone

No one but me can save myself, but it’s too late
Now I can’t think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

3: A fucking awesome song, which is NOT a power ballad, because its not some stupid song trying to show the sensitive side of heavy metal (pffhaha) like "every rose has its thorn".

1: *nerd voice* WHAT THE FAWKZORZ? FADE TO BLAX0RZ ADMINZORZ! YOU FAWKING NOOBS! OMYGAWD ILL JUST POP MY GOOD CHARLOTTE CD IN AND DREAM ABOUT KILLING MY PARENTS!
