The instrumental opens with an upbeat major key guitar melody. A heavier chord progression swallows the melody. A minor key piano melody swallows the chord progressions. Then a violin swallows everything, spiraling downward, except for a surprising ending. Even though this is an instrumental, it has a meaning. It also fits into the band's theme EP. Here's what the band posted on their website:
"The EP will feature eight songs, broken into four 2-song couplets. The EP is loosely based on Ecclesiastes, and tells the story of a young man's journey to true manhood. The tracks follow a young man who thinks he has everything in life, loses it all, despairs over the loss, tries to find meaning where it cannot be found, despairs that no meaning exists - and then finds the only true meaning in life.
Track 1 is an instrumental, called "Fade." It sets the mood for what follows, capturing a lighthearted melody that is all too soon subsumed by a darker reality."
