Icarus
Icarus' Odyssey: Navigating Taboos and Bad Luck
Lyrics
She says she thinks we're fresh
She believes we are new or original.
But I know that we're stale
Contrary to her belief, I know that we are unoriginal or lacking freshness.
I think I'll hold my breath
I consider holding my breath.
She can watch my face go pale
I want her to witness my face turning pale, possibly due to holding my breath.
She says she'll hold my dress
She offers to hold my dress, indicating a lack of necessity to impress anyone.
There's no one to impress
There's no need to impress anyone, as implied by her statement.
I think I see my mama in the crowd
I believe I spot my mother in the audience.
Well hey my names Icarus and welcome to the show
Introducing myself as Icarus and welcoming the audience to the show.
I can probably sum it up for you in one two three four
Summarizing my situation succinctly using a countdown of numbers.
See I'm drenched in bad luck and taboo ha need I say more
Expressing being soaked in misfortune and taboo, suggesting more troubles exist.
If you try to shoot for heaven you'll wind up on the ocean floor
Advising against aiming for something lofty like heaven as it might lead to a downfall.
Well now she's wondering if we're understood
She's curious if we are understood or comprehended by others.
Well baby I swear we're not
Assuring her that we are not understood as she thinks.
And now she's thinking maybe I could
She's contemplating taking action or making an attempt.
Well fuck it baby give it a shot
Encouraging her to go ahead and try despite the uncertainties.
Well hey my names Icarus and welcome to the show
Reintroducing myself as Icarus, repeating the welcome to the show.
I can probably sum it up for you in one two three four
Reiterating the concise summary of my situation using numbers.
See I'm drenched in bad luck and taboo ha need I say more
Reaffirming the theme of being surrounded by bad luck and taboo.
If you try to shoot for heaven you'll wind up on the ocean floor
Reemphasizing the caution against aiming too high, as it might result in a significant failure.
