Icarus Songtext
von Emma Blackery

You′ve got your eyes closed
Such a temper
Been so long that you can't remember
How it started
How they took you down

You got your wings up
Now they′re laughing
You're the food at the feast that they're having
And you know running away
Doesn′t prove them wrong

Well, have you tried apologising?
Do you know the mess you′ve made?
You believe you hold the answers
But your feathers are all frayed

Oh well, Icarus, Icarus
Why you so serious, serious?
You know you've gotta let it go
′Cause you're flying too close


There in your ego
Lies your weakness
Wrap it tightly and keep it at your chest
You are only
The front that you harness

′Cause silence is so underrated
Their voices are a loaded gun
You'll be swallowed up by the sun
′Cause you're trying to be someone

Oh well, Icarus, Icarus
Why you so serious, serious?
You know you've gotta let it go
′Cause you′re flying too close

Oh well, Icarus, Icarus
You're being so dangerous, dangerous
You know the higher you fly
The less you can hide


Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh

′Cause they're all waiting in the ocean (oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh)
With open arms to drag you down (oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh)
So have you tried apologising (oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh)
Before you start to drown? (oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh)

Oh well, Icarus, Icarus (oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh)
Why you so serious, serious? (oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh)
You know you′ve gotta let it go (oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh)
'Cause you′re flying too close (oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh)

Oh well, Icarus, Icarus (oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh)
You're being so dangerous, dangerous (oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh)
You know the higher you fly (oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh)
The less you can hide (oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh)
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
