Icons Lyrics

I think it's starting again
The same thing that happens when
I'm sure what I'm thinking about is right
But I don't know anything
The inhibitions decline
Decided to make up my mind
I'm sure what I'm thinking is right
But I don't know anything

So why are you loking to me for the answers?
It's only the truth if you want to believe in it

Everyone wants to live another life
So many aspirations have been placed upon you
Everyone wants to live another life
So many aspirations have been placed upon you

I'm not sure where to begin
I've taken a lot on the chin
And everyone else seems to win
And I don't have anything

Convinced that this is what you want
Are you really sure you know it all?
So willing to trust in anyone
Confused by what they call the truth
The only thing you know for sure
Is you don't trust a single thing about yourself
So who am I to decide?
I've tried my best and I've tried

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I interpret this as a song about the search for self and the struggle to overcome self-doubt. Also, deals with the issue of how expectations are placed upon people by parents, teachers, society, etc, and how people feel like they need to live up to them, when really, they don't know what they want.
