Faded
Opia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I took a walk on New Year's Day
Thirteen blocks in pouring rain
And all the darkness of this place
I may never be the same

You could say we took our time
Traded silence back and forth
What a day to lose my mind
I'm so much different than before

The way I'm talking in my sleep
And when I dream, you're there with me
You're leaving me faded
I'd say three words to keep you here
But every fear is leaving me faded, you're leaving me faded

A couple months through other eyes
Entire lifetimes pass through mine
I've forgotten all their names
But I still dream about that face

Breaking habits overnight
Scattered pieces on the floor
All the fragments of my mind
I'm so much different than before

The way I'm talking in my sleep
And when I dream, you're there with me
You're leaving me faded
I'd say three words to keep you here
But every fear is leaving me faded, you're leaving me faded

It's no different than before
It's no different than before

I'm gonna box the pain
Wait for the summer rain
Heaven knows that I adore you
Heaven knows that I care

I'm gonna box up the pain
Wait for the summer to rain
Heaven knows that I adore you
Heaven knows that I care
Heaven knows that I adore you
Heaven knows that I care
Heaven knows that I adore you
Heaven knows that I care

The way I'm talking in my sleep
And when I dream, you're there with me
You're leaving me faded




I'd say three words to keep you here
But every fear is leaving me faded, you're leaving me faded

Overall Meaning

Opia's song "Faded" is a poignant reflection on the human experience of loss, pain, and longing. The lyrics begin with the singer taking a walk on New Year's Day, thirteen blocks in pouring rain. The darkness of the place they walk through hints at the emotional turmoil within the singer, as they imply they may never be the same. They then proceed to share how they spent time with someone on this day, trading silence back and forth. The day seems to have pushed the singer over the edge, as they lose their mind and find themselves so much different than before.


The second verse signals the passage of time, as the singer reflects on a couple of months that feel like entire lifetimes have passed. They dream of someone's face, but have forgotten their name, and the scattered pieces of their mind attest to changes that have occurred. The chorus repeats the phrase "leaving me faded" several times, capturing the feeling of being slowly drained away by the pain of loss and the fear of rejection.


The bridge gives a sense of resolution, as the singer decides to box up the pain and wait for the summer rain. The chorus repeats once more, providing a sense of closure to the song. Overall, "Faded" is a beautiful expression of the human experience, capturing the complexities and nuances of loss and longing.

Keep on trying Opia, I wasn't too much a fan of this song but I still think your on the right track, never give up and never loose hope, you are going to be an iconic music figure in the future, believe in yourself and your friends who have helped you get to this point. Please don't let modern day sheeple dictate who you are.
