Lyrics
Fly like Icarus
Flying high, taking risks like Icarus from Greek mythology who flew too close to the sun.
Scared of getting high
Fearful of experiencing the consequences of taking those risks.
And when I come too close
Approaching a dangerous or risky situation.
I'll fall right through the sky
Anticipating failure or downfall if the situation is pushed too far.
And if I crash and burn
Expecting to face consequences or crash due to risky behavior.
Won't be my last goodbye
Even if facing failure or a crash, it won't be the final departure.
I fly a little farther every time these bruises multiply
Continuing to push boundaries despite accumulating emotional or physical scars.
Oh oh oh oh oh (yeah)
Expressing emotions, possibly about the accumulated scars or bruises.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh (bruises)
Repetition emphasizing the impact and presence of bruises.
(repeat x3)
Reinforcing the significance of the bruises in the singer's life.
Oh I get a little smarter every time my bruises multiply
Gaining knowledge or learning from the accumulated scars or experiences.
Run like Crazy Horse
Running fast and recklessly, alluding to Crazy Horse, a Native American war leader.
Set the trail on fire
Intending to create chaos or disturbance in life.
And if I miss a step
Avoiding potential danger but risking triggering a negative outcome.
I might trip a wire
Possibility of causing a significant problem or conflict.
But when it goes to hell
Expecting hardship or a difficult situation.
You gon' hear me cry
Expressing pain or emotional distress during difficult times.
But I run a little harder every time these bruises multiply
Striving harder despite accumulating scars or setbacks.
Oh oh oh oh oh (yeah, bruises)
Repetition emphasizing the presence and impact of bruises.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh (Ah)
Expressing the emotional weight or burden of the bruises.
(repeat x3)
Reinforcing the significance of bruises in the singer's life.
I run a little harder every time my bruises multiply
Pushing harder despite accumulating scars or setbacks.
(I get a little smarter every time my bruises multiply)
Repeating the process of gaining knowledge or learning from accumulated scars.
Nah nah nah nah
Repetitive vocalization, possibly expressing frustration or distress.
Nah nah nah nah
-Nah nah nah nah nah
-(repeat x4)
-Fly like Icarus
Reiteration of the fear of failure and the consequences of risky behavior.
Scared of getting high
-And when I come too close
-I'll fall right through the sky
-(whistle)
Instrumental break (whistle).
I get a little stronger every time these bruises multiply
Getting emotionally stronger despite accumulating scars or setbacks.
Oh oh oh oh oh
Expressing emotions, possibly about the accumulated scars or bruises.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Repetition emphasizing the impact and presence of bruises.
(repeat x3)
Reinforcing the significance of the bruises in the singer's life.
Oh I grow a little taller, get a little smarter
Continued personal growth and resilience from the accumulated experiences.
Feel a little stronger every time these bruises multiply
Strengthening emotionally and physically from the scars or setbacks.
