#4 English song: Faded



Lyrics:
You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
Another Start, you fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us, alive

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Was it all in my fantasy?
Where are you now?
Were you only imaginary?

Where are you now?
Atlantis
Under the sea, under the sea
Where are you now?
Another dream
The monster's running wild inside of me
I'm faded, I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded, I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded

These shallow waters never met what I needed
I'm letting go, a deeper dive
Eternal silence of the sea
I'm breathing, alive

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Under the bright but faded lights
You set my heart on fire
Where are you now?
Where are you now?

Where are you now?
Atlantis
Under the sea, under the sea
Where are you now?
Another dream
The monster's running wild inside of me
I'm faded, I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded, I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded

Singer:
Iselin Solheim, born on June 20, 1990 in Norway, is a Norwegian pop, folk and electronic music singer and songwriter. In 2015, she was followed by fans of Alan Walker 's song " Fade ".

Music's Background:
The music video of the song is starring Shahab Salehi and filmed in Tallinn, Estonia. The music video tells the story of a young man with a backpack holding a photo to find his home. He traveled thousands of miles and searched hard in the ruins of countless cities. He finally found his parents' house under the guidance of the photos, but found that the house was completely unrecognizable. At the end of the video, the actor pulled down the mask and desperately confronted this ruthless fact.

Vocabularies:
1.     fade (v.) (also fade away) to gradually disappear
e.g. Over the years her beauty had faded a little.

2.     shadow (n.) the dark shape that someone or something makes on a
surface when they are between that surface and the light
e.g. It was hot, and we decided to walk in the shadow of the wall.

3.     shallow (adj.) measuring only a short distance from the top to the bottom
e.g. The lake is quite shallow.

My thoughts:

I want to be crazy about this song in the world, except for the special singing voice of the female singer and the special soundtrack of the electronic sound, the " metaphor " of the lyrics is very spiritual and artistic. The appearance of me and in my heart, there is a conflict. And find a happy and worry-free way, return to a sentence: "Retrieve self and confidence, don’t forget the original intention!"
