FADE AWAY
The Soul Syndicate Lyrics

He who seeks of only vanity
Those who are only searching for fame and attention will disappear eventually.

And no love for humanity
Those who do not possess compassion and empathy for others will face the same fate.

Shall fade away, fade away
These individuals will eventually disappear from the spotlight and be forgotten.

He who checks for all his wealth
Those who prioritize money over their physical and mental health will suffer the consequences.

And not for his physical health
If someone only pays attention to their financial assets and ignores their well-being, they will suffer the consequences.

Shall fade away yeah, hear what I say
The result of neglecting one's own health will lead to a similar fate as those seeking only vanity.

(They shall fa-aa-aa-aa-de away)
The repetition emphasizes the inevitable disappearance of such individuals.

Though some believe in diamonds and pearls
Those who prioritize material possessions over genuine connections with others will discover the flaws in their priorities.

And feel like they're on top of the world
They will feel as though they are invincible and above those with less wealth.

They shall fade away, yeah
This illusion will come to an end and they will face the same fate.

Hear what I say
This is a warning of what will happen.

The rich is getting richer every day (richer, richer)
The imbalance between the wealthy and impoverished is only increasing.

And the little that the poor man's got
What little possessions the poor have can easily be taken away.

Shall be taken away
This is a warning of what will happen.

Do you hear what I say, yeah
The message is clear and should be a warning to all.

The man who's always acting smart
Those who appear to be intelligent yet are lacking true intelligence (empathy) will be forgotten.

And forget to carry some love in his heart
Those who do not embrace the power of love will face the consequences.

Gonna fade away
This is the inevitable fate of those who seek vanity and wealth over love and compassion.

The man that worships silver and gold
Those who prioritize material possessions over spiritual connections will suffer.

Shall surely, surely lose his soul
This refers to the metaphorical loss of one's morals and ethics.

And fade away
They will disappear and be forgotten.

God is here, there and everywhere

And He's got, His eyes are watching you

God is here, there and everywhere
