Music Video Analysis + Research



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 monsters 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 monsters running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded
the lyrics in this song is to represent that your life is falling apart. this is proved by using words such as "lost", "Faded" and the quote "Where are you now". this also shows loneliness by this quote. it is very repetitive sounding like the artist is lost for words.

Video
The video for this song is basically alan walker walking around in abandoned places alone. at the end it ends with a building which is destroyed with a over shoulder shot with him looking at a old picture of the house and this is why the song is called faded as the house is faded away which might of been his relatives or families house which is destroyed.
also the house is in the middle of nowhere and on the left side of the building it has graffiti showing that is abandoned. most abandoned places are decayed and this is why the song is called "Faded". the music isnt in sync with the video.

Instrumental
the instrumental is a mix of slow pace and fast paced, it all along very depressing because it is to represent that when things are missing in your life, you will be depressed.

The Artist (Alan Walker)

Alan Walker.jpg
Alan Walker, Born on 24th of august 1997. starting his carrer in 2012, he mostly dedicates his music in the electro-house genre. he got reconsidered when he made the song "Fade" which is posted on a royalty free music channel known as NCS(No Copyright Sounds). following up with songs like "specture" which weren't as popular as "Fade". his song which i am analyzing which is "Faded" made it into the top charts and that is when the properly blew up.
his appearance is him wearing full black with a face mask on. he wear this style because he has a hacker figure like under the radar feeling.
