icarus
Eden Lyrics

So this is how I die now
I am facing my downfall in this situation, feeling helpless and resigned to my fate.

Hands to the air
In surrender and acceptance of the circumstances that are beyond my control.

No, they can't stop that sky falling down, down
There is nothing that can prevent the inevitable collapse of my world.

Guess I thought that I'd feel good somehow, how
I had hoped that things would turn out differently and bring me some sort of happiness, but it seems unlikely now.

When all you know is up, it's hard not to feel like you ain't going down, down
When you are used to success and positivity, it becomes difficult to envision a downfall.

Disappearing through the silence
Slowly fading away and becoming invisible amidst the absence of sound and response.

Screams fade and blur
The desperate calls and pleas for attention gradually lose their intensity and clarity.

Conversating with a smile, though
Engaging in conversations while maintaining a facade of happiness and contentment.

Life invisible
Feeling unnoticed and insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Guess I thought that I'd feel better now
I had anticipated that things would improve and bring me a sense of relief and satisfaction.

Somehow, any how
In any possible way, I had hoped for some sort of improvement or change.

So now
In the current situation or state of affairs.

Icarus
Referring to the mythical figure Icarus, who fell to his death after flying too close to the sun as a metaphor for the singer's own downfall.

No, I can't escape this fall
I am unable to avoid or evade the negative consequences and decline that I am experiencing.

Falling in reverse
Descending and deteriorating instead of progressing or moving forward.

So how you gonna scream my name
How can you expect to gain my attention and demand my presence after all that has transpired?

When I gave all I got?
I have already given everything I had to offer.

I've nothing left to give you
There is nothing remaining for me to provide or offer you.

And I'm so burnt out and lost
Feeling exhausted and directionless, lacking clarity and purpose.

'Cause it all just feels the same
Everything seems to be repetitive and monotonous, lacking excitement or fulfillment.

And I got all I want
I have obtained everything I desired or aspired to, but it hasn't brought me the satisfaction I expected.

I had you where I wanted
I had control and influence over you in the way I desired.

I guess I don't know
I realize now that I lack understanding or insight in how to maintain a positive outcome.

How to live with a good thing
I struggle to sustain and appreciate something positive or beneficial in my life.

And not break it into nothing
Instead of preserving and nurturing it, I end up destroying it completely.

Self destruct just to feel, or so it goes
Engaging in self-destructive behaviors as a means to experience something, even if it is negative or harmful.

So tell me how you want me here now
Explain to me what your expectations are for my presence in this situation.

Keep crying down the phone
Continuing to express your emotions and plea for attention through phone conversations filled with tears.

Yeah, that's all I seem to hear now
Lately, that is the only message or sentiment I perceive from you.

Keep lying through your teeth
Persisting in deceiving and misleading me with false statements and promises.

Lie to me, lie with me now
Engage in a relationship founded on falsehoods and deceit in the present moment.

So tell me how you really feel now
Honestly express your true emotions and thoughts about the current situation.

Ain't been asked that in a while
It has been a considerable amount of time since someone genuinely inquired about your feelings.

Yet you still hope that they'll hear you out
Nevertheless, you maintain the optimism that they will listen and consider your perspective.

Just keep at it, bro, these things always seem to fix themselves somehow
Persist and continue your efforts, as problems and conflicts tend to resolve on their own.

Suck it up, some would kill just to stand
Endure and accept the situation, as some individuals would do anything to be in your position.

Where you're standing now
In the current advantageous position or circumstance that you find yourself in.

'Cause fuck it, it all feels the same
Expressing frustration and indifference as everything seems to lack distinction and significance.

I thought that I'd feel something
I had expected to experience some sort of emotion or reaction.

Guess I'll never know
However, it seems unlikely that I will ever find out or understand.

How to live with a good thing
I struggle to manage and appreciate something positive or beneficial in my life.

Fucked my life up for nothing, nothing
I have ruined and destroyed my life without gaining anything worthwhile or meaningful.

'Cause you don't care if I'm still bleeding
You show no concern or empathy for my emotional pain and continue to cause harm.

You just scream until you hear my name
You relentlessly demand attention and acknowledgement by shouting until I respond.
