Icarus
Icarus: Striving for More
Lyrics
Look at how far we've come
Reflecting on the journey and progress made so far.
It's not much but it's enough
Acknowledging that the progress, though not significant, is sufficient for them.
For us
Highlighting contentment with the current state of affairs.
It's enough
Reiterating that the present situation is satisfactory.
But you're still not finished yet
Implying there's more to achieve despite the accomplishments.
You're twenty-three you still got plenty left
Addressing the age of 23, suggesting there's ample time for further achievements.
It's not over yet
Emphasizing that the journey is ongoing; it's not the end.
Wait, how is this not the ending for me
Expressing confusion about the narrative's continuation.
When the world around me keeps on crumbling
Feeling overwhelmed as the world appears to be falling apart.
Cause you were made for bigger things
Affirming a belief in a purpose greater than current circumstances.
And everything that's happening
Recognizing and questioning ongoing events.
Around us
Indicating that external circumstances are irrelevant.
It doesn't matter
Asserting the insignificance of external factors.
Then why am I still suffering
Pondering why suffering persists despite the stated beliefs.
Cause my life keeps fading in the sun
Describing a sense of life fading, possibly due to challenges.
Icarus
Referencing the mythological figure Icarus, symbolizing ambition and risk.
If there's a god staring at me now
Pleading to a higher power for guidance or intervention.
If you're there would you please call me out
Seeking a divine response to the challenges faced.
Cause I was made for bigger things
Reiterating a belief in a greater purpose and potential.
I don't want this to be the way it ends
Expressing a desire for a different outcome than the current struggles.
It don't make sense
Expressing confusion or frustration about the current situation.
But I'm tired and weary
Conveying exhaustion and the need for assistance.
And I can't keep going without help
Acknowledging dependency on others for support.
Is there anyone else
Questioning if there is anyone else available to provide guidance.
To teach me how to fly high
Expressing a desire to learn how to navigate challenges successfully.
And not burn these wings
Highlighting the importance of avoiding self-destructive behavior.
When it gets a little hot
Acknowledging the difficulty of maintaining composure in challenging situations.
Cause I'm made for bigger things
Reaffirming a belief in a purpose beyond current struggles.
And this won't be how my story ends
Asserting confidence that the story will not conclude in present difficulties.
No, not like this
Rejecting the idea of the story ending in the current adversity.
And no matter how hard it gets
Emphasizing resilience despite challenges.
I always look back in a glimpse
Reflecting on past challenges and growth.
Look how far I've been
Celebrating the distance traveled and progress made.
