Lyrical Analysis of...
Faded Greatness
- (First 16 seconds is a rapless into.)
- I was born of this world not knowing what wrong or right is,
- I was sposed to walk the path of the righteous but why's it always seem like when I'm looking for guidance I end up following the path of the darkest. I ask this as I close shut my eyelids, always waiting for those scary monsters, to come greet me come take me hostage, but I'm already gone, yes I've already lost it.
- and all I can be asking, is just to shine a light on this situation, if even just to find the irony of where I've been placed in, millions of people among this nation, and yet my station's vacant, I'm waiting on the man to come and take it, yet they'll never take what remains of my brain because all that left is the wasted remnants, faded greatness.
- And it's because of this greatness that I'll never hate this, got no other options but to patiently watch this all unfold, the situation was never truly in my control
- Life's a long lonesome and tiring road, but it's like we've got no choice but to go, and at the end of it all what happens? We erode, buried. Six feet under the dirt, tell me what's it worth, when your body's decaying and all your friends start praying, simultaneously, for the same thing.
- Wishin' for an end to this nightmare we live in, but in reality it's just the beginning. No such thing as a happy ending, just low wages and crappy spending habits that I'll never break, they're what keeps me numb, what keeps me sane. A bottle of liquor helps keep the inner demons at bay, at least for most of the day.
- But what happens when the alcohol fades, drunkeness deteriorates, and I return to my sober state, Once again reminded of my darker days. Used to be great but like all good things, greatness fades, and for this situation, we have a special name.
- Faded greatness,
- And it's because of this greatness that I'll never hate this, got no other options but to patiently watch this all unfold, the situation was never truly in my control
