Don't fade out alone
Don't fade out alone
Don't fade out alone
Can you hear the storms coming
I can feel the weight of the world
it's gone
turn your face away
that moments gone
Can you see the skies falling
I can hold the weight
no not for long
I'm imagining visions
Swimming in a space
the only one
You're so cold, yet you turn me on (its on)
I'm at one with everything
Now you know, to take the step beyond (its on)
I get high like Everest
Hey I wasn't born yesterday
Will we live through to see the end
I can see the way you're listening
Seal the fate today
That moments gone
I can see the world turning
spinning into space, we're moving on
if you knew a fall was coming
would you turn your face and leave as you'd come
Pull me in from the side
I won't let go
Give me one more life
I miss you so
You're so cold, yet you turn me on (its on)
I'm at one with everything
Now you know, to take the step beyond (its on)
I get high like Everest
The song "Everest" by Looks speaks about the realization of the inevitability of challenges and the fear of being left alone in the face of an uncertain future. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the need to not fade out alone. The idea of being left alone, being unable to handle what's coming next, drives the sense of anxiety and urgency.
The following stanzas talk about various natural phenomena that highlight the impermanence of things. The singer hears the storm coming, feels the weight of the world disappearing, and sees the skies falling, indicating the end of things. The chorus that follows acts as a kind of a mantra to get the listener through the tough times.
The song's bridge sections lay down the idea of acceptance, both of the possibility of the world coming to an end and the acceptance of one's attraction to another. The moment has come, and one has to seal their fate today. Additionally, it speaks about the singer's connection with everything, becoming one with everything, and getting high like Everest. The final lines of the song sound like a plea of sorts. It speaks about pulling the singer in, not letting go, and missing the other person.
