Marc Vinyls raps about how things in life will fade, even if it doesn’t look like its fading from a distance.
The song samples a clip of Shiloh Dynasty and it plays in the background of the track, giving it an even more saddening tone.
On top of that, the song is dedicated to Marc’s idol, Mac Mill...
[Sample: Shiloh Dynasty]
You, show me what I face, show me what you love
Promised not to break my heart
You lied to me, I love you too
So much, oh
[Intro]
Yeah I'm tired everything looking great from a distance
[Hook]
Friends faded
Now they gone
You could hate it
I got my songs
Friends faded
Now they gone
I fucking hate it
But I am strong
[Verse 1]
Looking at love
Looking at pain
It is the same
All deals with the devastation
All deals with having patience
I've been sitting back all alone
Too afraid to take the leap
So i'm still at home words stutter in my speech
Can't call myself grown till I learn
Me and my fate will meet
[Bridge]
I stay alone
I stay hiding
I stay loyal
I stay riding
I stay alone
I stay hiding
I stay loyal
I stay riding
Yeah yeah
[Verse 2]
Oh what does it mean
The system we in people hustle for cream
Most of em down low self esteem
Can't stop to try to chase all they dreams
Without the means to make it all happen
Without the team without the captain
Who steering this ship
Shit life is bitch
And i'm realizing this
Now
Keep pushing forward
Keep moving on
Reason why I still make these songs
Ain't to prove all them haters wrong
But for those people whom I share a bond
Its more for me and more for growth
More for my loved ones who mean the most
Put your glass up
Lets have a toast
To those people who remain close
(Remain close)
[Hook]
Friends faded
Now they gone
You could hate it
I got this song
Friends faded
Now they gone
I fucking hate it
But I am strong
[Outro]
I just hope I..
I learn
From my mistakes in the past
Y'know
From a distance things always look better
But that doesn't mean they actually are

Marc Vinyls via Facebook video: “…But the truth is the average human is not up to that standard. So you have to lower your expectations for society. So when I say about reaching back out to people, chances are, they’re never gonna do that for you, 9 times out of 10. So you have to be that guy…If you...
Yes! This is most likely the original cover art before Mac Miller died, and it replicates the meaning behind the song.
