A mass of dust, world's momentary slave, Is man, in state of our old Adam made, Soon born to die, soon flourishing to fade.
I'm not able to change the tools that I bring to the table. I've tried to fade into the background many times, and I just can't do it.
Some people, they don't get a few takedowns, they start getting nervous, and they fade. That's just not in my character.
My dreams of taking the West End by storm as a dancer flickered but then faded; my father’s ambition to see me in a steady office job was tried and abandoned.

'That Wasn't Me' is no exception - it came together more quickly than any other song I have ever constructed on my own.
At the surface, many people's goals are to lose weight, tone up, feel better, etc. But superficial goals get superficial results that usually fade. Dig a little deeper, and the 'why' is usually unveiled: to be more confident, to be more happy, to feel sexy again.
The older we get, the swifter time seems to pass and the quicker memories seem to fade.
