Obscurity - Chen Chu Sheng, K.A, Lu Hu & Zhang Yuan

So many stories I could tell I had the world under my spell Does this even ring a bell? I wonder because Don't you know who I was? Interest in me dissipated All my methods antiquated I've been cast away Lost and friendless today I made a name for myself When one could do such a thing A reputation that's held Together by string And so I chose to cherish those Who think there's some purity To fading into obscurity What works on paper Has the tendency to ride on vapor Sometimes what's not to love But then other times what's to like I'm unable to tell if I know who I am A modest success a shill or a sham I'm not a afraid of what I've made But my trajectory Has me fading into obscurity You kids'll have to fend for yourselves Because your mother's gone and asked for the elves Who used to do all the work around here Well they're not gonna do it anymore You kids can kiss your mother goodbye And I'll give you twenty minutes to cry She used to do all the work around here But she's not gonna do it anymore And you're getting to old to be cared for by me And for that matter This cake is baked but I much prefer the batter Perhaps in part because it had so much potential To be delicious and still be influential I'm undecided If the evidence that I have provided Explains what I mean It's too late now 'cause I can't see or be seen And I know you don't shrug through my tears So I'm not gonna shed 'em anymore Out of favor with the flavor of the week's where I'll be And fading into obscurity An outsider but in good company Oh yeah I'm fading into obscurity I'm undecided
