Fade Away
Oasis feat. Johnny Depp Lyrics

When I was young
In my childhood, I believed that I had control over my destiny.

I thought I had my own key
I believed that I had the power to create my own destiny.

I knew exactly what I wanted to be
I had a clear vision of my future aspirations and goals.

Now I'm sure you've boarded up every door
Now that I am older, it seems as though every path I could have taken in life is now closed off to me.

Lived in a bubble
I used to be very sheltered and unaware of the outside world.

Days were never ending
My childhood days seemed to last forever.

Was not concerned about what life was sending
I didn't worry about what the future held for me.

Fantasy was real
I used to believe in my childhood dreams and fantasies.

Now I know much about the way I feel
As an adult, I have a greater understanding of my emotions and desires.

I'll paint you the picture
I'll give you a clear idea of what I am trying to say.

'Cause I don't think you live round here no more
I don't think you understand my perspective anymore.

I've never even seen the key to the door
I don't know what it takes to achieve true success or happiness.

We only get what we will settle for
We tend to accept the limitations that we place on ourselves and settle for less than we are capable of.

While we're living
As we go through life,

The dreams we have as children fade away
Our childhood dreams and fantasies become less important and less attainable as we grow older.

They fade away away away
These childhood dreams drift further and further away from our reach.

Now my life has turned another corner
My life has taken a new direction or entered a new phase.

I think it's only best that I should warn you
I feel it is necessary to advise you about what I have learned in life.

Dream it while you can
You should pursue your dreams while you still have the opportunity.

Maybe someday I'll make you understand
Perhaps in the future, you will come to understand the message I am trying to convey.
