The story behind Faded by Alan Walker is one of transformation and success. Originally released as Fade in 2014 without vocals, the track was re-released as Faded in 2015 with lyrics, quickly becoming a viral hit and cementing Walkers career as an artist.

Lily was a little girl
Afraid of the big, wide world
She grew up within her castle walls
Now and then she tried to run
And then on the night with the setting sun
She went in the woods away
So afraid, all alone

They warned her, don’t go there
There's creatures who are hiding in the dark
Then something came creeping
It told her, don’t you worry just

Follow everywhere I go
Top of all the mountains or valley low
Give you everything you’ve been dreaming of
Just let me in, ooh
Everything you want in gold I'll be the magic story you've been told
And you’ll be safe under my control
Just let me in, ooh
Just let me in, ooh

She knew she was hypnotized
And walking on cold thin ice
Then you broke, and she awoke again
Then she ran, faster and
Start screaming, is there someone out there?
Please help me
Come get me
Behind her, she can hear it say

Follow everywhere I go
Top of all the mountains or valley low
Give you everything you’ve been dreaming of
Just let me in, ooh
Everything you want in gold I'll be the magic story you've been told
And you’ll be safe under my control
Just let me in, ooh
Just let me in, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Everything you want in gold I'll be the magic story you've been told
And you’ll be safe under my control
Just let me in, ooh

Follow everywhere I go
Top of all the mountains or valley low
Give you everything you’ve been dreaming of
Just let me in, ooh
Then she ran faster and
Start screaming, is there someone out there?
Please help me
Just let me in, ooh
