fading fast
Losing ground quickly
Fading fast describes rapid decline—of health, consciousness, energy, or viability.
Someone fading fast is losing strength or alertness quickly: The patient is fading fast; call the family.
It applies to anything deteriorating noticeably: Our chances of winning are fading fast.
The phrase implies urgency—whatever remains won't last long.
