Fader
Fader's Melancholy Journey: A Pledge to Find Shelter from Life's Storms
Lyrics
I'm in transit
Expressing being in transition or movement
Floating stranded on this boat
Feeling adrift or stranded, possibly lost or uncertain
And I pledge myself allegiance
Committing oneself to a better rest or comfort at home
To a better night sleep at home
Desiring a peaceful sleep at home
And the sweet, sweet sun's comin' down hard
The intense sun causing discomfort or hardship
The sun's comin' down hard, it burns the bones
Emphasizing the harsh impact of the sun, causing pain
So hold a hand for cover, hold a hand for cover
Seeking shelter or protection, metaphorically
Hold a hand for cover from harm
Seeking refuge from harm or danger
Woo, ooh, ooh
Repetition emphasizing that talking or words don't create change; something is fading away
Talk don't change a thing (woo, ooh, ooh)
-Oh, it's fading fader (woo, ooh, ooh)
-Words don't sink it swims (woo, ooh, ooh)
-Oh, it's fading fader
-This mess, so we tried our best
Continuing the theme of seeking protection, shelter, or cover from troubles
That's all that we can do
-While the angels walk with the lonely ones
-In the cold rain to rescue you
-And this fable world's comin' down hard
-The wall's comin' down hard on all our homes
-So hold a hand for cover, hold a hand for cover
-Hold a hand for cover from harm
-Woo, ooh, ooh
Reiteration that communication doesn't alter circumstances; something is fading or disappearing
Talk don't change a thing (woo, ooh, ooh)
-Oh, it's fading fader (woo, ooh, ooh)
-Words don't sink it swims (woo, ooh, ooh)
-Oh, it's fading fader
-Woo, ooh, ooh
Further emphasizing the ineffectiveness of words or talk in changing the situation
Talk don't change a thing (woo, ooh, ooh)
-Oh, it's fading fader (woo, ooh, ooh)
-Words don't sink it swims (woo, ooh, ooh)
-Oh, it's fading fader (woo, ooh, ooh)
-Oh, it's fading fader (woo, ooh, ooh)
Repetitive emphasis on something fading away, possibly a sense of loss or diminishing hope
Oh, it's fading fader (woo, ooh, ooh)
