Faded
Alex Mali Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I go numb when I'm not with you
And I get along with all my issues
Am I really wrong if I just came through?
'Cause I'm faded
I go numb and I get clueless
And I know we can't afford to do this
'Cause I'm faded
One more shot to the head
One more drunken text
Don't leave me on read
You know how I get
I ain't thinking twice, Let's just roll the dice
Whiskey over ice, got me feeling nice
I'm faded
I go numb when I'm not with you
And I get along with all my issues
Am I really wrong if I just came through?
'Cause I'm faded
I go numb and I get clueless
And I know we can't afford to do this
But we'll never know unless we prove it
'Cause I'm faded
One more shot to the head
One more drunken text
Forget what I said
Need you in my bed
Let's not fuss or fight
Long as it feels right
You can spend the night
Give you what you like
I'm faded
I go numb when I'm not with you
And I get along with all my issues
Am I really wrong if I just came through?
'Cause I'm faded
I go numb and I get clueless
And I know we can't afford to do this
But we'll never know unless we prove it
'Cause I'm faded (Faded)
The song "Faded" by Alex Mali and Thutmose speaks about the intoxicating feeling that one gets when they are around someone they are attracted to. The first verse of the song talks about how the singer gets "numb" and "faded" when they are not with this person, implying that the attraction is so strong that they lose touch with reality when the person is not around. Additionally, the lyric "And I get along with all my issues" suggests that the singer is aware of their flaws and how they can damage a relationship and yet they still go through with it because the allure of the other person is too strong.
In the second verse, the singer continues to talk about their attraction to this person as they plead with them not to leave them on read after sending drunken texts. The singer admits that they are not thinking about the consequences, they just want to be with this person. The chorus repeats the same message as the first, that the singer becomes "numb" and "faded" when they are not with this person, and they are willing to take the risk to prove that this feeling is real.
Overall, the song conveys the message that overwhelming attraction can often cloud one's judgement and push them to take risks in pursuit of that feeling. However, the lyrics also acknowledge the consequences that come with such actions, as the singer is aware that they "can't afford to do this" but "we'll never know unless we prove it."
