What is the meaning of the lyrics in the song Faded by Alan Walker?

Not my interpretation but I really like it

You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
Another star
You fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us
Alight
Here, light refers to my capabilities and hardwork and You refers to the success and prestige, I earned because of it. But then came another star i.e another person who stole all the limelight away from me and my success just faded away. Now, I am scared because my goals seem to be out of reach. All I ever want is to see success following my hardwork.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Was it all in my fantasy?
Where are you now?
Were you only imaginary?
I am agitated as to where did all that accomplishment go? Why do I only see failure? I have started doubting my self worth to the extent that I feel as if everything I had earned before was just imaginary or a fantasy.
Another dream
The monster's running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
I have yet another dream but the monster of negativity and haplessness follows me and I feel as if I am lost. I have faded after losing all of my success.
These shallow waters never met what I needed
I'm letting go a deeper dive
Eternal silence of the sea, I'm breathing
Alive
I feel as if I only explored the world superficially and did not realize that the world is an ocean in itself. Therefore, I mustered all my courage and jumped into the real world to explore its depth and darkness. What I find is a never ending desire of million others working silently to see the same light that I was looking for. Yet I am patiently waiting for my turn. This sudden transformation from extraordinary to ordinary is killing me.
Under the bright but faded lights
You've set my heart on fire
I am madly trying to make a name for myself and to carve out my space in this world of glory but I find myself just existing under the most brilliant and invincible group of population and my talent in front of them is just like a flickering candle that can douse anytime.
Where are you now?
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now?
Success seems to be elusive but I am determined to find it. I am ready to cross the seven seas to reach my aim.

The Importance of investigating when a manager tells you "I've met up with the 18-year-old males mother, who says it's fine for him to be in the disabled toilet with his 15 year old girl friend since she was 12"!

 Everyday scenarios you'll need to deal with, fully investigate  and solve in order to create a Utopic Society Imagine the scene, you are in the largest and grandest hotel within 25 miles and in pops out of the rain two teenagers that look like drowned rats. The 18-year-old male heads straight to the toilets whilst the 15-year-old girl goes through her almost daily routine over the past two and a half years of asking reception if she can use their phone to contact her mum for a lift home.  Everyone carries on as normal except for the person who knows he's going to be called by reception to deal with these two within the next 20 minutes, just like he has been on more than a handful of times over the past couple of years.  The male is told to use the men's toilet and not the disabled, whilst the girl is approached at reception and asked;  "Are you getting a room today? because if not you're barred for having sex in the toilets".  Obviously all hell broke loos...
