Faded
Ivette Moraes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
Alight
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Was it all in my fantasy?
Where are you now?
Were you only imaginary?

Where are you now?
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now?
Another dream
The monster's running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
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

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Under the bright but faded lights
You've set my heart on fire
Where are you now?
Where are you now?

Where are you now?
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now?
Another dream
The monster's running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded




I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Faded" by Ivette Moraes express feelings of loss, confusion, and longing for someone who was once close to the singer but has now disappeared. The first verse uses imagery of light and shadows to describe the relationship between two people, with the singer feeling like the other person was their guiding light (shadow to my light). However, as time passed, the other person slowly faded away, leaving the singer feeling lost and unsure of their connection (afraid our aim is out of sight). The chorus repeats the question "where are you now?" which represents the singer's desire to find the other person and possibly rekindle their relationship. The lyrics also allude to the mythical city of Atlantis, which serves as a metaphor for the lost connections that the singer feels.


The second verse of the song has more references to water and the ocean, which can also represent the singer's emotions and feelings of being lost at sea. The lyrics mention a "deeper dive" and "eternal silence of the sea" which could represent the depth and intensity of the singer's emotions. The chorus repeats again, with the addition of the line "under the bright but faded lights, you've set my heart on fire" which could be interpreted as the singer acknowledging the positive impact that the other person had on their life.


Overall, the lyrics to "Faded" by Ivette Moraes are about the loss of a meaningful connection and the longing to find it again. The use of imagery from water, light, and mythical places like Atlantis all work together to create a dreamlike quality to the lyrics.
