(Deeper down)

It's every where I look
From Las Vegas to Richter here
Under your dresser
Right by you ear
It's creeping in sweetly
It's definitely here
There's nothing more deadly
Than slow growing fear

Life was full and fruitful
And you could a take a real bite
The juice pouring well over
You skins delight
But the shadow it grows
And take the depth away
Leaving broken down pieces
To this principles ballet

The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the fade out line

The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the deeper down

Did we build all those bridges
To watch them thin down to dust
Or blow them voluntarily
Out of constant trust
The clock is ticking, it's last couple of tocks
And there won't be a party with weathering frocks

The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the fade out line

The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the fade out line

Heading deep down
We're sliding without noticing
Our own decline
Heading deep down
We're hanging onto
Sweet nothings left behind
Deeper down
Deeper down
Deeper down
Deeper down
Down, deeper down, yeah

Did we build all those bridges
To watch them thin down to dust
Or blow them voluntarily
Out of constant trust
The clock is ticking, it's last couple of tocks
And there won't be a party with weathering frocks

Did we build all those bridges
To watch them thin down to dust
Or blow them voluntarily
Out of constant trust
The clock is ticking, it's last couple of tocks
And there won't be a party with weathering frocks

The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the fade out line

The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the fade out line

We are all plunging straight towards our own decline
Without noticing we slide down
Deeper down
The shadow grows without ever slowing down
We are heading straight




Into the fade out line
(Deeper down)

Overall Meaning

"Fade Out Lines" by The Avener is a song that reflects on the gradual decline of life and relationships. The lyrics describe the singer's realization that fear is slowly creeping in and taking away the depth of their existence. It begins with describing the presence of fear everywhere, from Las Vegas to Richter, even under the dresser and by their ear. The song then explains how life used to be full and fruitful and the singer could enjoy it to the fullest, but the shadow of fear grows over time, taking away the depth of their life and leaving broken pieces behind.


The song questions whether bridges were built to watch them dissolve into dust, or were they destroyed voluntarily out of constant trust. It seems like the singer is reflecting on the bridges they may have burned, causing their life to become shallower and fainter until they reach the fade out line. The clock is ticking, but there won't be a party with weathering frocks.


Ultimately, the song ends with the ominous warning that we are all heading straight into the fade out line, plunging towards our own decline without realizing it. The shadow grows without ever slowing down, and we are headed straight into the fade-out line.


Line by Line Meaning

It's every where I look
The feeling of impending doom is pervasive and impossible to escape.


From Las Vegas to Richter here
The fear extends from superficial pleasures to core aspects of life.


Under your dresser, right by your ear
The fear is always present, lurking just beneath the surface of our consciousness.


It's creeping in sweetly, it's definitely here
The fear is subtle and insidious, gradually taking hold of our minds and bodies.


There's nothing more deadly than slow growing fear
Fear can be more dangerous than any external threat, and the slow build of fear can be particularly destructive.


Life was full and fruitful, and you could take a real bite
At one point, life felt abundant and satisfying, and we were able to fully engage with it.


The juice pouring well over your skins delight
We were once able to fully experience the pleasures and joys of life.


But the shadow it grows and takes the depth away
The creeping fear gradually erodes our ability to appreciate the depth and richness of life.


Leaving broken down pieces to this principles ballet
The fear leaves us fragmented and unable to live by our guiding principles.


The shallower it grows, the shallower it grows
The more we give in to fear, the more shallow our experience of life becomes.


The fainter we go, until the fade out line
As fear takes hold, life becomes less vibrant and ultimately fades away.


Did we build all those bridges to watch them thin down to dust
Have the efforts we've made in life been ultimately futile and destined to crumble to nothing?


Or blow them voluntarily out of constant trust
Have we made choices that have led to the destruction of those bridges, perhaps due to misplaced trust?


The clock is ticking, it's last couple of tocks
Time is running out, perhaps more quickly than we realize.


And there won't be a party with weathering frocks
There will be no celebration at the end of our lives, no matter how much we may have accomplished or how successful we may have been.


Heading deep down, we're sliding without noticing our own decline
We may be unaware of the ways in which fear and decay are gradually affecting our lives.


We're hanging onto sweet nothings left behind
We cling to memories and pleasures from the past, hoping to recapture their sweetness.


Deeper down, deeper down, deeper down, deeper down
Our descent into despair and fear continues, spiraling ever deeper.


Down, deeper down, yeah
The depth of our fear and decline is ever-increasing.


We are all plunging straight towards our own decline
Regardless of our best efforts, we are all destined to experience decline and decay as we age.


Without noticing we slide down, deeper down
We may not even be aware of our own decline as it happens, but it is happening nonetheless.


The shadow grows without ever slowing down
As our fear and despair grow, they seem to take on a life of their own and become harder to shake off.


We are heading straight into the fade out line
Without intervention or change, our lives will inevitably come to an end, fading away into nothingness.

(Deeper down)
It's every where I look
From Las Vegas to right here
Under your dresser
Right by you ear
It's creeping in sweetly
It's definitely here
There's nothing more deadly
Than slow growing fear
Life was full and fruitful
And you could a take a real bite
The juice pouring well over
You skins delight
But the shadow it grows
And takes the depth away
Leaving broken down pieces
To this priceless ballet
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the fade out line
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the deeper down
Did we build all those bridges
To watch them thin down to dust
Or blow them voluntarily
Out of constant trust
The clock is ticking, it's last couple of tocks
And there won't be a party with weathering frocks
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows

Absolute masterpiece! Timeless...

@Liex09

Everything exists with its opposite, we must remember death so that we can understand the value of life, seek to live life correctly and beautifully and prepare for death in the best way. Sometimes we must remember.
Transitory life..
