Fade Away
Embracing Strength in Shadows: The O.C. Supertones' Journey
Lyrics
Seems like I spent the past three years,
Reflecting on the past three years of life.
Just struggling with these ideas.
Struggling with various ideas and concepts.
And the more I learn,
Increasing knowledge leading to a realization of limited understanding.
The less I really know.
Despite learning, feeling a sense of ignorance or uncertainty.
But to the things I do, I will hold tight.
Commitment to the things achieved through effort and perseverance.
Because I didn't win them
Acknowledging challenges faced in achieving personal victories.
Without a fight.
Recognition that personal achievements required a struggle.
It's all I have and I'm not letting go.
Emphasis on holding onto one's accomplishments and not letting them go.
I've never been less perfect than today.
Expressing imperfection in the present moment.
Is my heart or is my mind
Questioning whether emotional or intellectual aspects are hindering progress.
What's in the way?
Identifying internal obstacles.
I'm listening with nothing left to say.
Listening attentively but feeling a lack of words or expression.
Savior make this dimness fade away.
Seeking divine intervention to dispel confusion or darkness.
Confusion comes so easily.
Confusion being a common and destructive force.
Like cancer, it kills gradually.
Comparing confusion to cancer, emphasizing its gradual harmful effects.
You can't recall
Inability to pinpoint when understanding started to diminish.
When the light began to fade.
Referencing the fading of light, possibly symbolizing clarity or truth.
But I'll grab truth with both my hands,
Determined effort to grasp truth and hold onto it.
Hold it close 'til I understand,
Intent to understand truth by facing it directly.
Face the light and will not be afraid.
Commitment to confronting challenges without fear.
I'm so much stronger
Personal growth and increased resilience.
Than I was yesterday.
Comparing present strength to past weakness.
I can see clearly now.
Clarity and improved understanding in the current state.
Lord, make this dimness fade away.
Appealing to a higher power to dispel darkness or confusion.
