fade out
Slowly go dark
A fade out is a gradual decrease in sound or image until it disappears completely.
In audio and film, it's a standard transition technique: The song ends with a long fade out.
The verb form works the same way: The music fades out as the credits roll.
Figuratively, to fade out is to withdraw gradually from activity or attention.
