This song is The Avener’s take on Phoebe Killdeer and The Short Straws original track, “The Fade Out Line”.
The song was released as the first single off The Avener’s debut album; The Wanderings of the Avener.
[Verse 1]
Deeper down
It's everywhere I look
From Las Vegas to right here
Under your dresser
Right by your ear
It's creeping in sweetly
It's definitely here
There's nothing more deadly
Than slow growing fear
Life was full and fruitful
And you could take a real bite
The juice poring well over
Your skins delight
But the shadow it grows
And takes the depth away
Leaving broken down pieces
To this priceless ballet
[Hook]
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line
[Bridge]
Did we build all those bridges
To watch them thin down to dust
Or blow them voluntarily
Out of constant trust
The clock is ticking its last couple of tocks
And there won't be a party with weathering frocks
[Hook]
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line
[Verse 2]
Heading deeper down
We're sliding without noticing
Our own decline
Heading deeper down
We're hanging onto
Sweet nothings left behind
Deeper down
Deeper down
Deeper down
Deeper down
Down deeper down yeah
[Bridge]
Did we build all those bridges
To watch them thin down to dust
Or blow them voluntarily
Out of constant trust
The clock is ticking its last couple of tocks
And there won't be a party with weathering frocks
Did we build all those bridges
To watch them thin down to dust
Or blow them voluntarily
Out of constant trust
The clock is ticking its last couple of tocks
And there won't be a party with weathering frocks
[Hook]
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line
[Outro]
We are all plunging straight towards our own decline
Without noticing
We slide down, deeper down
The shadow grows without ever slowing down
We are heading straight into the fade out line
Deeper down
Yes! On January 28, 2015, The Avener interpreted the song live with Charlotte OC at C à vous.
