about

Being a twenty-something, I’ve been feeling the pressure of having to choose between security and freedom. We wrote icarus? as a way of dealing with these fears, to remind ourselves that if you wanna fly, you have to risk a fall.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hi there, hey
Doesn’t this love taste a little bit strange?
Plastic buffet
I think I’m missing something

Eat, full, hungry, repeat
Goin’ insane, it’s always the same
And I can’t last another day
어떡해?

[Pre-Chorus]
Vision set on something high
Out of sight
Where’s my mind?
Cos I think I need to find it

Just a little left of the right time
Never thought I’d see myself this blind
But if it’s jump or giving up
I hope I’m not an icarus

[Chorus]
Bye
I’m gonna go fly
Yeah I might fall but it’s better to try
See me slippin’ and slidin’
Imma keep smilin’
I found me when I lost my mind

(I said) Woah
Look at her go
Said that she couldn’t
What the hell do they know?
Ya might see sweat drippin’ down my eyes (but)
I found me when I lost my mind

[Verse 2]
Hold up, wait
Carry on bag full of things that you say
Can’t hold the weight
(It’s gettin’ heavy)
I think I might be crashing
Life vest under the seat
It’s never too late to drink the Kool-Aid
But I don’t wanna live that way
어떡해?

[Pre-Chorus]
Vision set on something high
Out of sight
Where’s my mind?
Cos I’m feelin’ kinda sideways

Just a little left of the right time
Never thought I’d see myself this blind
But dude if it’s jump or giving up
I hope I’m not an icarus

[Chorus]
Bye
I’m gonna go fly
Yeah I might fall but it’s better to try
See me slippin’ and slidin’
Imma keep smilin’
I found me when I lost my mind

(I said) Woah
Look at her go
Said that she couldn’t
What the hell do they know?
You might see sweat drippin’ down my eyes (but)
I found me when I lost my mind
