Fading Light
Engel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A new way of abuse
Set on false protection
Make up your mind and choose
Every time I try to help another
Everything turns into shit, why bother
Turned away from you
Pain piercing time
Blinding my crime
Pain piercing time
Blinding my crime
Fading light into another world unknown
You will never be the one
Fading light into another world unknown
You will never be the one
Take away the life force
Carry the devil inside
Burn me out with no remorse
There's no where left to hide
Fading light into another world unknown
You will never be the one
Fading light into another world unknown
You will never be the one
Here right now
Blind, they're rising
Fading into the light
The world, it's still unknown to me
Fading light into another world unknown
You will never be the one
Fading light into another world unknown
You will never be the one
The lyrics of Engel’s song Fading Light revolve around themes of self-obsession, abuse, false protection, pain, and a world unknown. The lyrics suggest that people often hurt others while seeking a way to protect themselves. The lines “Their own self-obsession, A new way of abuse, Set on false protection, Make up your mind and choose” convey this message concisely. The singer laments that every time they try to help someone else, it always ends up bad, so they’ve turned away from their previous course of action. This line is repeated twice in the song, emphasizing the futility of helping others.
The lines “Take away the life force, Carry the devil inside, Burn me out with no remorse, There's nowhere left to hide” suggest that some people carry such darkness within them that it can become a poison that affects others around them. The singer seems to have given up on trying to help or find a refuge from such people. They suggest that somewhere out there, there’s a world full of mysteries and unknowns that are yet to be explored, and they’re fading away into that world.
Overall, the lyrics of Fading Light convey a sense of despair and futility that many people can relate to. They suggest that sometimes, the best course of action is to let go and move on, no matter how much one might want to help or change something. The song encourages listeners to accept that sometimes, things just aren’t meant to be.
