Faded into One
Lost Integrity: Fading Reflections in Imperative Reaction's 'Faded into One'
Lyrics
You know the way it is
You understand the current situation
Everything is the same
Everything appears unchanged or monotonous
I'm losing myself
I'm losing my sense of self
So you'll remember my name
So you'll remember who I am
In another time in another place
In a different time and place, things might have been different
Things could have been different
Regret about missed opportunities
But you only see what's in the front
You only focus on what's immediately apparent
All the shades faded into one
All distinctions or variations have blended into one
Your apathy worn into me
Your indifference has become a part of me
You don't even know
You are unaware of the impact
What this is about
Uncertainty about the meaning or purpose
I see you now
I observe you in the present
Lost in the sound
You are immersed in the noise
Of this resignation
Acceptance of a resigned state
The endlessness of your routine
Your routine seems endless
This is your reflection
Your actions and choices reflect who you are
And I promise you
A commitment or assurance
That what you see
What you perceive lacks integrity
Stands without integrity
Regardless of its past state
No matter what it used to be
The current path is misguided
It's the wrong direction
A realization of a wrong direction
I can't fight this anymore
I can no longer resist or oppose this
I've turned to the past
I've returned to the past and closed off possibilities
And locked the door
Descending into despair or darkness
Sinking down to the depths below
This compromise was made on your behalf
This compromise was made for you
A plea for recognition of sacrifices
But can't you see how much you'll bleed
Recognizing the potential harm or consequences
When time ignores all that you need
When time disregards your necessities
And don't see the fading light
Failing to notice the diminishing opportunities
As it interferes with your narrow sight.
The fading light obstructs your limited perspective
