You were the shadow to my light

Did you feel us

Another start

You fade away

Afraid our aim is out of sight

Wanna see us

Alight

Where are you now

Was it all in my fantasy

Were you only imaginary

Atlantis

Under the sea

Another dream

The monster’s running wild inside of me

I’m faded

So lost I’m faded

These shallow waters never met

What I needed

I’m letting go

A deeper dive

Eternal silence of the sea

I’m breathing

Alive

Under the bright

But faded lights

You set my heart on fire

What It Means

Looked at closely, “Faded” is about the feeling captured in its very first words: “Published by：Warner Chappel/Copyright Control/Stellar Songs Ltd.”. The narrator keeps returning to the same images — “Were you only imaginary” — until the final line “You set my heart on fire” brings it home. It is honest without being heavy, and the repetition makes the meaning easy to follow even on the first listen.

Where It Works Best

• Relaxed evening and rainy-day playlists
• Study or focus sessions
• Driving, especially at night
• Any mood that calls for an easy, emotional listen

Summary

“Faded” is a well-crafted track that gets its strength from simplicity: a clear melody, a repeating hook, and lyrics that never overreach. It fits Alan Walker’s style well and works in almost any playlist.

Comment

The charm of “Faded” is how quickly it grows on you. The hook, built around “You set my heart on fire”, stays in your head long after the song ends, and the lyrics are easy to sing along to. It is an easy recommendation for fans of Alan Walker and for anyone who enjoys heartfelt, easy-listening music.
