Cookie Music: Slow Fade

Slow Fade By Casting Crowns

Cookie Meaning:

According to lead vocalist Mark Hall: "Nobody falls, it's just a slow fade. It's a series of minor compromises until you're in a place you never thought you'd be, doing things you never thought you'd do and rationalising all of it".

Cookie Meaning For Christians: According to lead vocalist Mark Hall too: "As believers, as men, if we're not guarding our relationship with God, we're going down. There's too much going against us. If we're not careful, we're going to crash and burn".

Cookie Author:

Sometimes, we think we are strong, that nothing could affect us. But the truth is, what we see and hear could mostly pierce us if we aren't careful. And repeating something we think is alright. I just realize, it's not falling but slowly fading, never realizing on were you're risking your walk until you reached to the point that you'd look around yourself. Realizing you are already lost.

Lyrics Of The Music:

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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
