Faded
MRKTS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never loved me anyway
Kept me under you
I over loved you anyway
This state and this city's
Driving me insane
You go
Now we raise
Now we raise our glasses
To the sky
For the ones that made us stronger
Let us break
Let us break these glasses
Here's a toast
To the ones that left us faded
Haven't heard from you
Who'd you run off to this time
When he's over you
Do I even cross your mind?
This state and this city's
Driving me insane
You go
And leave me faded
Now we raise
Now we raise our glasses
To the sky
For the ones that made us stronger
Let us break
Let us break these glasses
Here's a toast
To the ones that left us faded
Can't see
Won't leave
Cut me off
Too intoxicated by her love
Not Enough, had enough
Pour just a little
It's too late, this date
Said it all
She's the prosecutor and the judge
Not enough, had enough
Now, now, now
Now we raise
Now we raise our glasses
To the sky
For the ones that made us stronger
Let us break
Let us break these glasses
Here's a toast
To the ones that left us faded
In the song "Faded" by MRKTS, the lyrics express the pain and frustration of being left behind by someone who never loved the singer in the first place. The song starts with the lines "Haven't heard from you, Never loved me anyway", indicating that the singer has not been in touch with the person they are addressing and also implies that this person didn't love them back. The next line "Kept me under you, I over loved you anyway" suggests that the singer was trying too hard to please their lover and that they were possibly stuck in a toxic relationship.
The second verse continues with despair, as the singer talks about how their location is affecting their well-being with the lines "This state and this city's driving me insane, You go and leave me faded". The use of the word 'faded' can have a double meaning here, implying that they have been left behind and feeling forgotten, but it can also refer to being intoxicated, which could mean that they are literally trying to forget the situation.
The chorus conveys a sense of togetherness with others who have suffered the same fate. "Now we raise our glasses to the sky, For the ones that made us stronger, Let us break these glasses, Here's a toast to the ones that left us faded" implies that even though they were hurt, they have grown stronger and can move past those who have left them behind. The lines "Can't see, Won't leave, Cut me off, Too intoxicated by her love" they feel unable to escape from the emotions of the relationship, even though they know they should let go. The bridge "Now, now, now" implies an urgency in breaking free from this toxic relationship and being able to move on.
