[Verse 1]
Everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout the new sensation
Everybody’s claiming it’s the next big thing
And I am always quick to fall for that temptation
Yeah I’m the first in line for the grand opening
Everyone’s predicting it’ll sweep the nation
Saying if you try it it’ll blow your mind
And though there’s nothing wrong with chasing innovation
You’re the only one that’s ever changed my life
We are living in a world that longs for change
Cause we’re all searching for a love that will remain
Yeah the day will come when we’ll see love and its beautiful face
But we’re all living in a world that soon will fade
Everybody’s looking for a true contentment
Searching for some pleasure that will last them awhile
But all that’s left inside is guilt and strong resentment
This world only provides a temporary smile
(…That soon will) fade away with stars and the moon
‘Til there’s only love and truth
Soon Will Fade
Song Meaning
Jonny Diaz catches a familiar cycle in "Soon Will Fade" — "everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sensation... everybody's claiming it's the next big thing," and admits he's not immune to it either: "I am always quick to fall for that temptation, yeah I'm the first in line for the grand opening." The song isn't scolding trend-chasing from the outside; it's describing a habit Diaz shares.
"Though there's nothing wrong with chasing innovation, You're the only one that's ever changed my life" draws the actual distinction the song cares about — not that new things are bad, but that they're incapable of doing what only one thing has actually done. "All that's left inside is guilt and strong resentment, this world only provides a temporary smile" names the letdown that follows every trend directly rather than leaving it implied.
The title phrase becomes almost liturgical by the end — "we're all living in a world that soon will fade... 'til there's only love and truth" — framing every passing sensation against the one thing the song claims won't pass.
