Nothing's Real
Fading Away: Embracing the Illusion of a World Moving Too Fast
Lyrics
It was yesterday when you stopped by
Reflecting on a past encounter when the person visited.
And you looked as if you had no cares at all
Observing that the visitor seemed carefree.
But behind those eyes
Suspecting that there is more to the visitor than meets the eye.
And a fragile smile
Noticing a delicate smile on the visitor's face.
You said good-bye
The visitor bids farewell.
Nothing's real anyway
Expressing a nihilistic perspective, suggesting that nothing in life is genuine.
When people move so fast
Commenting on the fast-paced nature of people's lives.
You're standing back
Observing from a distance without actively participating.
You can't pretend
Acknowledging the difficulty of pretending to be part of the societal scene.
You're part of the scene
Succumbing to the pressures and expectations of the environment.
You're just caving in
Feeling overwhelmed and collapsing emotionally without understanding why.
And you don't know why
Expressing confusion about the reasons behind one's actions.
You never try
Not making an effort to understand or change the situation.
Someone tried to call
Revealing a missed call, possibly from someone attempting to reach out.
But you let it ring
Choosing not to answer the call, avoiding communication.
It's an invasion
Describing external pressures as an invasion.
You don't know why
Questioning the reasons for others caring about the person.
They care about you
Feeling the intrusion of the world into one's life.
The world keeps
Highlighting the continuous encroachment of external influences.
Creeping in
Expressing the desire to resist and hold back these external forces.
You want to hold it back
Feeling pursued or followed by these influences.
It's following you
Embracing a sense of detachment, finding solace in the unreal.
Nothing's real anymore
Reiterating the belief that nothing in life feels authentic anymore.
And you like it that way
Expressing a preference for the unreal, finding comfort in its unreality.
It's not giving up
Clarifying that it's not giving up but rather seeking an escape.
It's just a means of escape
Embracing a coping mechanism to deal with the challenges of reality.
You're just wasting away
Describing a sense of wasting away, perhaps due to the struggles faced.
And you don't know why
Expressing confusion about the reasons for deterioration.
You didn't try
Regret for not taking action or trying to change the situation.
Now the day is done
Reflecting on the end of the day, possibly with a sense of emptiness.
Without a sound
Describing a silent conclusion to the day.
And when tomorrow comes
Anticipating a forgetful tomorrow, symbolizing a loss of memory or purpose.
You can't remember a thing
Emphasizing the inability to remember significant events or feelings.
You just disappear
Experiencing a sense of disappearance, perhaps a metaphorical fading away.
And you wonder why it happened to you
Expressing wonder or confusion about the circumstances leading to this state.
