If one were to simply read the lyrics of Faded, they would think that this song is about lost love, but really, it's about losing your home and ultimately, your way. The video follows a man, presumably after an apocalyptic event, searching for his old home. He runs through ruins with this false hope (delusion) that his home will still look like the picture he has of it. When he finally discovers his home, it's devastated. There is nothing left that makes it how it was previous to the apocalypse. It's a shell of what it used to be. There is no hero to this story, no happy ending. Like many, including Holden, he's lost his way in the world. He can't find home or any way to settle down.

Faded - Alan Walker
You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
Another star
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've 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
