Faded
Navigating Shadows: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Matt Sterling's Faded
Lyrics
I'm kind of faded
I am experiencing a state of being faded or mentally distant.
Makes it hard for me to trust this love we're making
The faded state is causing difficulty in trusting the love being created.
Who am I to fake it?
Questioning one's authenticity or genuineness in the situation.
It ain't easier to justify my patience
It's not easy to justify my patience in the given circumstances.
It done been a long time, but we're both making do
Both individuals are making do despite the passage of a long time.
Playing in a sulfur mine, it ain't no way to soothe
Metaphorical reference to a challenging environment (sulfur mine) without a soothing solution.
And I know these thoughts are stubborn, they hate to lose
Thoughts are persistent and resistant to losing.
The more I fight, it's clear to see I'm made a fool
Fighting more only reveals that I am making a fool of myself.
I'm worried 'bout money, I'm worried 'bout time, I'm worried 'bout spending too much of my youth
Concerns about money, time, and spending youth are causing worry.
Spin that honey, entwine
Metaphorically spinning honey and entwining, possibly referencing relationship dynamics.
I'm making my dime
Earning money (making my dime) and working on reaping the rewards.
I'm working on clutching my fruits
Working on securing the benefits of one's efforts or labor.
I can't find a thing to offer, I've been cut down to my roots
Unable to find anything valuable to offer, feeling stripped down to the core.
On your own you're bound to blossom 'cause I, I, I
Being alone allows personal growth and flourishing.
I'm kind of faded
Reiteration of feeling faded or mentally distant.
Makes it hard for me to trust this love we're making
Repeating the challenge of trusting the love being created in a faded state.
Who am I to fake it?
Reiterating the question of authenticity in the given situation.
It ain't easier to justify my patience
Emphasizing the difficulty in justifying patience.
Maybe you're a product of my high
Suggesting that the other person may be a result or consequence of being in a heightened state.
Smoke among the ashes left behind
Reference to the aftermath, with smoke among the ashes left behind.
Lingers in the fabric of my mind, mind, mind, mind
Implies that the impact lingers in the mind.
I'm kind of faded
Reiteration of feeling faded.
Makes it hard for me to trust this love we're making
Repeating the challenge of trusting the love being created in a faded state.
Who am I to fake it?
Reiterating the question of authenticity in the given situation.
It ain't easier to justify my patience
Emphasizing the difficulty in justifying patience.
