Fading
Embracing Shadows: Pretty Crooked's Fading Reflects on Imperfection and Redemption
Lyrics
I'm not gifted
I lack exceptional talent or natural ability.
I'm just insecure
I struggle with self-confidence and doubt myself.
I'm not fitted for this to occur to me
I'm not prepared for this situation to happen to me.
I'm not guilty
I'm not responsible or deserving of blame.
I'm just into blame
I tend to shift blame onto others.
Seek it find me hiding all my shame
I hide my feelings of guilt or embarrassment.
I'm just fading
I am gradually losing significance or importance.
I'm not blown away
I am not extremely impressed or overwhelmed.
Dust is shaking makes me feel the same pain
Dust in the air evokes a feeling of pain or discomfort.
But our life's not over
Despite challenges, life continues.
Why am I not sober
Questioning why I am not emotionally stable.
Why be older
Why age when there is uncertainty?
Why get closer to me
Questioning the need for emotional closeness.
God's the ocean
God represents vastness, and fishers are filled with hatred.
Fisher's full of hate
Metaphorical reference to a fisherman filled with negative emotions.
You're a fish and you know what I am
A recognition of identity and acknowledgment of the speaker's own nature.
Drowned and fading
Feeling overwhelmed and losing significance.
Now I'm blown away
Now experiencing a profound impact or emotional reaction.
Skin is breaking makes me feel the same pain
The skin breaking suggests vulnerability and shared pain.
But our life's not over
Despite challenges, life continues.
Why am I not sober
Questioning why emotional stability is elusive.
Why be older
Questioning the significance of age in the face of uncertainty.
Why get closer to me
Questioning the need for emotional closeness.
To me
Reiteration of the questioning directed at oneself.
But you're falling down
You are experiencing a downfall or decline.
But you're falling down
You are in the process of descending or losing status.
But you're falling down
Continued descent or decline is happening.
But you're falling down
Emphasis on the ongoing process of losing significance.
Falling down I'm fading
Expressing a state of fading and falling down.
Falling down I'm fading
Reiteration of the fading and falling down state.
I'm fading
Emphasizing the gradual loss of significance or importance.
Life's not over
Life is still ongoing despite challenges.
Why am I not sober
Questioning the lack of emotional stability.
Why be older
Questioning the significance of age in uncertain times.
Why get closer
Questioning the need for emotional closeness.
