Slow Fade lyrics

Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands
As darkness pulls the strings

Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you
That are sure to follow

It's a slow fade
When you give yourself away
It's a slow fade
When black and white are turned to gray

And thoughts invade, choices are made
A price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day

It's a slow fade
It's a slow fade

Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattering leads to compromises
The end is always near

Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises
Leave broken hearts astray

It's a slow fade
When you give yourself away
It's a slow fade
When black and white are turned to gray

And thoughts invade, choices are made
A price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day

The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking

It's a slow fade
When you give yourself away
It's a slow fade
When black and white are turned to gray

And thoughts invade, choices are made
A price will be paid
When you give yourself away

People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day

Oh, be careful little eyes what you see
Oh, be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh, be careful little eyes what you see

i love this song but im not gonna lie the little girl in the end is a little creepy. but its cute to

[rjbfair1]

This song is NOT about one subject....sex, affairs, etc. It's about ALL sin and how it can creep in and overtake you and your life.  You have to watch your, eyes...what they see, weather it be porn or anything that is not of God, ears...so much can enter through the ears, a LOT of it through music, feet...where are your feet taking you? The wrong, ungodly choices always end up BAD, etc., etc.

I actually think it's about a husband who has an affair. His son finds out and has a fight with the dad. The son drinks himself to death. Then the mom figures out about all of that, get's in a fight with the dad who's drunk. The dad then kills the mom, then kills himself later. The youngest, a daughter, sees all of this. Etc., etc. That's what I got from the video at least...

[iknew12]

The song is not just about sex. It's about anything that may open the door to despair. The theif comes to kill, steal, and destroy. This song is merely saying don't go there. It all begins harmless such as going to a party where there is beer or something similar. As soon as you enter that party, the door has opened. You can close it quickly, or go on in. Choices are made. People don't crumble in a day, it's a slow fade.

Actually it would be for you as well because we are all born with the same sin. But praise God he is so forgiving. I don't know where I would be if it were not for him.

@FaithGalvan well, it could be about sex, but christian songs dont usually have one meaning, its however it fits in ur life, for example (not 4 me thank God), people who use drugs would be depressed (thoughts invade) a choose is made (he uses drugs) a price is paid wen u give urself away (i really dont need to explane x])... so yea =/

[TheEmilyIrene]

I Didn't Either I Thought It Was About Life Experiences, Like In The Music Video. Like There's A Little Kid And The Parents Were Arguing And The Dad Didn't Want The Kid Growing Up To Be Like How The Mom And Dad's Relationship Was.

Really? Didnt know that......

@FaithGalvan Yes, I Do. xD.
