Though most people interpreted it as a song about a lost love, I would say it is about self discovery. (The loneliness is consuming me as I'm lost searching for Atlantis, but you're nowhere to be found.) (We shared an intense moment that I idealize but that moment is fading.) Where are you now that I'm ready for you?) I'm moving deeper in search of "Atlantis") (My shallow life and relationships never satisfied me. Here Atlantis represents the true love that we feel exists but remains lost beneath the surface.) (Atlantis, an ancient paradise that is lost, that everyone searches for, that in reality probably never really existed. (But like the many stars in my sky you faded away) (We were different but complimentary, like night and day, yin and yang.
It's about longing for the romanticized love of your youth and coming to question whether it was real. 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.
