Icarus Lyrics
seems like you just
started noticing
how noticeably bad things really are
and when you walked past this couple arguing
in a rolled up window
of a parked car
and all of that
gesticulated bitterness
and all of that
muffled yelling hell
its dark just starts wafting at you
like a big fury rat died
inside of that wall kinda-smell
breathe like it's rolling like a cold front
thunder is thundering and lightening in tow
and your tiny little life gets
even smaller
as you heed the heaven's mighty show
and i don't mean heaven
like god-like
the animal in me knows very well
nature is our teacher, our leader, and our lover
and god is just another story that we tell
and you're trying not to grasp-not to start grasping
at straws -or sticks- or stones
just learn how to sit inside your sadness
even if you're sitting there alone
it's just like icarus ascending
never intending to look back
nature's law and your tragic flaw
i find descending
flying into the arms of a venus flytrap
guzzle till the buzzer stops
guzzle till the buzzer stops
guzzle till the buzzer stops
guzzle till the buzzer stops
guzzle till the buzzer stops
very spiritual, and i makes me grin when she talks abou her god-nature perception because i share those beliefs and the way she words it is cute
the mythology behind icarus is that the boys father made him wings out of feathers and wax and he was flying and it was great, and he didnt heed his fathers warnings and had too much pride to listen and he flew too close to the sun and the wax melted and his wings broke and he fell into the ocean and died, so it was an ancient greek story about how pride gets the best of people...
as far as "or sticks- or stones" its like sticks and stones can break my bones but names can never hurt me dealy.
love this song.. it sounds more like church than church to me.. sort of buddhist as well..
some of the lyrics are wrong above:
"dreams like this roll in like a cold front thunder is thundering and lightening in tow and your tiny little life gets even smaller as you heed the heaven's mighty show
and i don't mean heaven like god-like the animal I am knows very well that nature is our teacher and our mother and god is just another story that we tell"
