Throughout “icarus,” glaive uses Greek mythology and story-telling to tell the story of a partner who he sees slowly slip out of the relationship. As he reflects on his newfound success, glaive sees the cons in his relationship, using the sun as a peak as he loses himself.
The experimental pop-trac...
[Intro]
I'm like Icarus
Not trying to increase the dissonance between you and your father
I know it's not my business but I just keep on calling
I know that you're indifferent but I can't help from falling
(One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four)
[Chorus]
We're flying too close to the sun (Too close)
And it's been fun, she point at me like I'm the one
Looking for houses like we're spouses
We're flying too close to the sun (Too close)
You call me love, you probably say that to everyone
She's checkin' me, not textin' me
We're flying too close to the sun
[Verse]
I feel like Sisyphus
'Cause my antithesis is pushin' things to work
And have it fall back on me again
And I can't take it
She must think I'm famous
She must think I'm brainless
Every day ignoramus
It's a never ending story
Call me then ignore me
I hate it, hate it, hate it
But I'd do it all again
[Bridge]
I'm setting fire to my room
'Cause I don't know what else to do
It's getting hot in here because
[Chorus]
We're flying too close to the sun (Too close)
And it's been fun, she point at me like I'm the one
Looking for houses like we're spouses
We're flying too close to the sun (Too close)
You call me love, you probably say that to everyone
She's checkin' me, not textin' me
We're flying too close to the sun
