it's better to burn out than fade away, out of the blue and into the grey....

where's the 'other' option?

Fading away is the worse scenario I think. Like, if you just fade away, that means everybody else forgets about you, you don't mean anything anymore.

i think they all suck. fading away might not be that bad because at least you can think back to the good old days

i picked fading away cuz it reminded me of a hospital scenario. if you had a few seconds to live, you can get out your final words. but if you just burn out, you wouldn't get the chance.

i picking fading away because it reminded me of margaritaville.

This makes me think of music and music stars. Like, would you rather just go from being really awesome to playing the worst music ever OR would you rather get bad slowly.

well if you faded away, it would be like you still had musical talent but it was no longer popular but could be just as good. burning out would imply that all your musical resources have been tapped and your creativity died. and a person with no creativity is dead.
