Icarus
Elizaveta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where I come from
I don't believe
In many things
I don't regret
A single fall
Cause I know why
The caged bird sings
And this is why I try
To fly
I only wanna find
A way to shine
A way to be
Away from here
Where colors bleed
Into the sky
If all I see
Should disappear
If we are free
We'll never die
And this is why I try
To fly
I only wish to find
A way to shine
Yeah this is why I try
To fly
I only hope to find
A way to shine
A way to shine
A way to shine
A way to shine...
I don't recall
Where I come from
I don't believe
In many things
I don't believe
I'm gonna fall
When heat of sunlight
Melts my wings
And this is why I try
To fly
I only wish to find
A way to shine
Yeah this is why I try
To fly
I only hope to find
A way to shine...
The lyrics of Elizaveta's song "Icarus" speak about the desire to escape from the mundane world and to find a way to shine. The singer does not recall where they come from and does not believe in many things, which suggests a sense of displacement and estrangement from their surroundings. However, they do not regret any of their past failures or falls, since they have learned from them and know the meaning behind the caged bird's song. This refers to the idea that even though something might be seen as a failure or a restriction, there is still a lesson to learn or a meaning to find.
The singer wants to find a way to shine and to escape from their current environment, which is represented by the bleeding colors in the sky. They are searching for freedom and believe that if they become free, they will never die. The lyrics also mention the story of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and melted his wings, falling to his death. This analogy suggests that the singer might face a similar fate if they don't find a way to fly without burning out.
In summary, the song tells a story of wanting to break free from the mundane world, to learn from failures and aspire towards greatness, and to find a way to shine.

Why did Icarus fly to the sun? Here is the myth of Icarus:
His father, Daedalus, was a skilled inventor who created
wings for him and his son, Icarus, so they could escape
King Minos of Crete. Excited about this new freedom,
Icarus, ignoring the warnings of his father,
flies too close to the sun, and falls into the sea.
The original has this line: I don't recall [where I come from
I don’t believe in many things I don’t believe
I’m gonna fall when the heat someone melts my wings.]

(All I can do is hope and wait on Him for
salvation. I am poor in spirit and I see there is no
strength in me to measure up to His standards,
He is my only help, He is my salvation. John
1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave
he power to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on his name: 13 Which were
born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God. [Only those
born again by His will.] Lam 3:25 The LORD is
good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul
that seeketh Him. 26 It is good that a man should
both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of
the LORD.

Чуваки, объединяемся в клуб! Кстати, а как искали, голос понравился? Что побудило? Я под Найджела так то частенько медитировал, а Icarus включал ну когда настроение херовое, например, а вот спустя два года поймал себя на мысли ну почему мне так нравится этот голос, думал девочка какая то сессионная, а оказалось такое талантище и так по цепочке вот пришел к вам, братья 🙂
