Means that the loved person was a perfect complement to him, means can be darkness to his light, the purpose here is also about sin and negativity cause that could mean that a good person can love, deeply love, a bad one and this happens often, cause love it's truly blind in reality, people should not be similar to love one each other. Means that Walker's older self has, indeed, faded and he has to find a way to get along as he is now. Which means he is indeed starting to let go and accept that his older self was shallow, but not completely, for he starts calling out to his old self again in the pre-chourus. "these shallow waters were never what I needed In the chorus, the reference to Atlantis means Walker's other self was pretty much as mythical as the lost city, yet he keeps trying to find it. Walker, in the very first line "you were the shadow to my light," is talking about how who he was was always keeping him from being who he was meant to be yet he keeps trying to him. He is apparently looking for his lost self, hence the iconic line "Where are you now?" Walker is talking about having been someone different than who he is now, and the song being as nostalgic as it is, probably misses who he was. Though most people interpreted it as a song about a lost love, I would say it is about self discovery. If you think about it, the relationships weve had dont fade, theyve happened n cant change, its us who change and with it our perceptions of past experiences change aswell. but that the persons perception of who he/she loved has faded and with that the perception of the relationship has faded too.Thats why she says "im faded". Its probably not true but we hope it is, cause that would be so cool.įaded doesnt mean that the relationship faded. Maybe they dont see it the same way and the act of looking back in such a way might be like hopefully believing in atlantis, a myth we enjoy entertaining and theres always some evidence that points to it but we still cant be sure, it requires imagination and fantasy. They wonder how the other person looks back at the same relationship. They hope that the other person also felt something special. They are addicted to the emotions they felt then. has the realisation/doubt that maybe it was all in their head, but they still yearn for how they felt at that time and dont want to accept that it couldve all just been in their imagination/perception. The relationship comes to an end, the person starts a new relationship and. its about recognizing that most of the time its how we look at things that determine how we feel about them.Īt the time of the relationship, the way the other person was,how they looked, all that made them attractive and how special the relationship was,was only in the perception of the person, inflated with their imagination and desire to feel love and give love.
Its about how people idealize someone they love then look back later and have difficulty reconciling how they felt then to now.
