The song "Faded" by Lil M is all about being overserved and under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The first line "Baby I'm wasted" sets a theme for the entire song, as it is about being drunk and wanting to either go home or take someone to a nightclub. The main character is not quite in control of themselves and is at the mercy of their desire to give into their impulses.
The chorus is repetitive and emphasizes the desire to take someone downtown. The line is repeated over and over to reinforce the theme of being out of control and fixated on a singular goal without regards for proper actions or consequences.
The thematic elements of the song talk about making bad decisions and chasing immediate pleasures. The character is in a state of inebriation that leads to them only pursuing temporary happiness without thought or concern for the future. They are willing to put anything aside to achieve this singular goal, be it safety or caution.
Overall, "Faded" is a song about being lost and caught up in the moment of drunkenness or drug use, chasing immediate gratification above everything else. It speaks to how dangerous it can be to be under the influence and how easily one can lose control.
