Faded
DJ Too Tan Lyrics

The lyrics to DJ Too Tan's song "Faded" is a journey of love and heartbreak. In the first verse, it appears that the singer fell for someone who they considered to be their support and subsequently lost them. The first line, "You were the shadow to my light," symbolizes the individual as the source of the singer's inspiration, but they "fade away." The singer is afraid that their "aim is out of sight" and they do not want to see their love "fade" away, so they search for them to bring them to life once again. The second verse begins with the singer asking "Where are you now" in a dreamlike state, hoping that the love of their life is not imaginary, but rather, they will find them. The singer refers to "Atlantis under the sea" as an example of a missing person that they hope they would find, but they feel "lost" and "faded."

The chorus repeats the same questions that the singer asked earlier. The singer yearns to know where their love is now as they long for the time they spent with them under the bright lights but express determination to find them. The singer eventually turns to desperation, begging for the person to come back to them, saying that they're "faded" without them. The final stanza expresses a sense of letting go of their love as they move on to new and deeper experiences that they find with themselves with the "eternal silence of the sea." The singer seems to find their inspiration as they are "breathing," acknowledging that they are "alive."
