Faded Lyrics
Alan Walker - Faded Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
Another star, you fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us, alive
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you...
[Verse 1]
You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
Another star, you fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us, alive
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you...

You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
(We were different but complimentary, like night and day, yin and yang. Did you feel the same?)
Another star
You fade away
(But like the many stars in my sky you faded away)
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us, A light
(Our expectations were too high. We were young, chasing a fairy tale)
Where are you now
Was it all in my fantasy
Were you only imaginary
Where are you now
Atlantis
Under the sea
(Atlantis, an ancient paradise that is lost, that everyone searches for, that in reality probably never really existed. Here Atlantis represents the true love that we feel exists but remains lost beneath the surface.)
These shallow waters, never met
What I needed
I'm letting go
A deeper dive
(My shallow life and relationships never satisfied me. I'm moving deeper in search of 'Atlantis')
Eternal silence of the sea
I'm breathing
Alive
Where are you now?
(But I find that I'm alone down here. Where are you now that I'm ready for you?)
Under the bright
But faded lights
You set my heart on fire
Where are you now
(We shared an intense moment that I idealize but that moment is fading.)
Where are you now
Where are you now
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now
Another dream
The monsters running wild inside of me
(The loneliness is consuming me as I'm lost searching for Atlantis, but you're nowhere to be found.)
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded2TOP RATED

Or perhaps the constant search for something more. Whatever is the shadow to YOUR light. In other words: whatever you have created to be your LOVE. Maybe that is even the life of your youth or a romantic (general) and significant time in your life.
When I say “whatever your romance is” what I mean is that doesn’t necessarily have to be a lover. Maybe that “lover” is yourself or another side of yourself once discovered or still trying to discover. The relationship you have with yourself or with your life.3TOP RATED

click a star to voteOct 28th, 10:17pmreportThis song is close to my heart. I think it speaks of the feeling when you are getting into a new relationship, still unsure about where things are going and for a moment you get caught up in your past. Thinking of where your ex might be. You are making a new start, but still somewhere thinking about the good times you both had. Things you both did, and also about false or broken promises. But this time you have decided to make things work. The colour of your previous relationship is fading away slowly. And you keep on telling yourself that u are faded, ready to be full of colours again.anonymous
click a star to voteOct 20th, 10:16pmreportI think this song is about how sometimes we are so connected to our devices that we become disconnected from the world around us. It's weird to think that something that was made to bring us closer has driven us apart more than anything us. This especially applies to the time I am posting this, as we are stuck in our houses with little to nobody to talk to.anonymous
click a star to voteSep 17th, 9:26amreportAccording to me the song is talking about a relationship which seemed to last forever I think the two had done alot together and just were meant to be
however unfoftunatelly the two get apart in one way or another but didnt actually break up
walker still wants to find out if the partner still feels the same way like before because I bet she is still madly inlove.anonymous
click a star to voteSep 15th, 9:48amreportTo me this song has a lot of meanings...
Loneliness
Love
Searching for a better version of oneself
Importance of family and friends
Confusion...(maybe)
Dwelling in your fantasies and imaginations
Letting go of one's past...(Faded)or
Nostalgia,bittersweet yearning for the things of the past...
Nevertheless,I love the songanonymous
click a star to voteAug 29th, 8:04pmreportIt's about missing someone u loved most and consider he/ she as ur everlasting friend. On an other hand, the song may mean someone feeling lonely trying to remember good time went by or people left him/ she!
Anyway I like it's melody and it's words always!anonymous

click a star to voteJun 29th, 6:34amreportFaded has been my all time favourite song. Along with the melody of this beautiful song, this song has a beautiful meaning. The song mainly deals with loneliness. Both the song and the music video expresses the life of a lonely person, who has none in the world. Moreover, the song and the video also can be described as that there had been something on the earth that wiped out all the humans, just one of them survived. He recalls his life woth his family and friends, which was destroyed by something and he was left alone.
With all of these, Faded symbolizes the need of a true friend in one's life. It also gives a beautiful message that friends and family is the half part of a person.

click a star to voteMay 27th, 2020 5:12pmreportIts about how people idealize someone they love then look back later and have difficulty reconciling how they felt then to now... its about recognizing that most of the time its how we look at things that determine how we feel about them.
At the time of the relationship, the way the other person was,how they looked, all that made them attractive and how special the relationship was,was only in the perception of the person, inflated with their imagination and desire to feel love and give love.
The relationship comes to an end, the person starts a new relationship and... has the realisation/doubt that maybe it was all in their head, but they still yearn for how they felt at that time and dont want to accept that it couldve all just been in their imagination/perception. They are addicted to the emotions they felt then. They hope that the other person also felt something special. They wonder how the other person looks back at the same relationship. Maybe they dont see it the same way and the act of looking back in such a way might be like hopefully believing in atlantis, a myth we enjoy entertaining and theres always some evidence that points to it but we still cant be sure, it requires imagination and fantasy. Its probably not true but we hope it is, cause that would be so cool.
Faded doesnt mean that the relationship faded... but that the persons perception of who he/she loved has faded and with that the perception of the relationship has faded too...Thats why she says 'im faded'... 'where are you now'.
If you think about it, the relationships weve had dont fade, theyve happened n cant change, its us who change and with it our perceptions of past experiences change aswell.anonymous

Older and wiser, that freedom seems like an illusion.
Unsure of what reality really is.anonymous
click a star to voteApr 27th, 2020 4:03pmreportThe simple chord progression of Am F C to G, this masterpiece, like many other songs, talk about a past memory. Not necessarily love or friendship but rather emotional connections and memories from the past. I guess you could call this a modern poem for it features non-traditional instruments but rather electronic generated beats and melodies. The opening lines mentions a non-traditional relationship: rather a light to the shadows as for guidance, the guidance was taken away by someone. The person also puts into question whether they felt the same, strong feelings as they did. They go deep into their minds and compares the memories to Atlantis, a majestic palace that is now gone and impossible to find. The same feelings the person is looking for are no longer felt and are lost but instead of giving up, they make an effort to search for their happiness by metaphorically diving into their sea of memories. With no luck, they get lost in thoughts and what they thought was real was pure imagination and are unable to seek joy. They become lonely while the dark abyss surrounds them and while the loneliness slowly consumes them, they are lost and faded. Not only does the song have some darkness behind it, but it also shows many characteristics of a poem. With the basics, there are rhymes throughout this piece. Light and sight, fantasy and imaginary, sea and me, dive and alive are some of the rhymes mentions. Another feature of the song is the motifs. The lister gets a lot of “faded”, “now”, and “sea” to truly understand the distress of the person in the song. While it is a song, it is also a story. It introduces the subject/purpose (the search for escape or guidance to the light), the adventures and trials of attempting to accomplish, and a bitter ending. Like all poems, this song teaches us something. Through the metaphors in the song, the meaning lies in the first lines. The person in distress looked at the shadows taking away the light, taking away the opportunity for escape and life. While they are free now, this dark memory made its way back into the thoughts like a flashback and this person is searching a way out of this terrible memory and searches deep in their minds to get rid of it, but fails. They try to get their happiness back from this shadow but fail. The meaning behind this is to avoid the shadows in the first place. The person is going through the pain for others. It means to live in the moment and enjoy the given opportunities to make happy memories and not letting the dark ones in. It means to leave the past behind and move on because by looking back you just relieve the moment and it becomes an endless cycle. This song a very popular among the EDM fan base, maybe it is because of its sick beats but maybe it is to show how hard it is to move past this song and listen to another and how hard it is to let go. These dark memories may represent abusive parents, abusive relationships, a victim of being bullied, a war veteran, or others.anonymous
click a star to voteApr 24th, 2020 4:04pmreportAs in all true art, it has a different meaning for each person according to their own experiences. As for myself, I'm not sure about all of it, but it makes me think of the deep love my husband and I had for each other. We found each other late in life, each others first everything, especially true love. We were together for 12 years, then he died suddenly from a blood clot. I have been lost without him and sometimes almost wonder was it really true, did that beautiful time in my life really happen or was it a realistic fantasy. But then I look at our son and know it was real. I find that little details of memory are starting to fade and I desperately want to remember every detail. That life with him WAS me. To lose any of it isto lose myself. But, of course, the most important things, and sometimes the actual feelings I had then, come back to me and it's wonderful, but then the grief of his not being here is still there after 9 years. He was 37, I was 39, we had never been married and we hit it off so beautifully and were so happy. One of us would think something andthe other would say it. We married on my fortieth birthday. I am now 61. We had adopted a baby, who is now 12 and he is my heart. Hopefully this gives you a glimpse of what the song means to me.anonymous
click a star to voteApr 22nd, 2020 4:15pmreportIt’s unlikely but Walker could be talking about Atlantis, the last space shuttle we launched in July of 2011. Under the bright but faded light it set the hearts of its occupants on fire and it certainly went under the sea! We haven’t had any space shuttles since...so we ask “Where are you now, Atlantis?” And the answer is UNDER THE SEA!
