Icaros
I-One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

descendo com asas tipo ícaro
eu nāo demonstro amor, pois sou timido
voando sobre o monte, olhando pro seu rosto
nāo toco os pés no chāo, nāo
vejo de tudo um pouco

caindo dos céus tipo Ícaro
eles nāo me aceitaram, pois sou impuro
cometi pecados, do alto ao mais baixo
se fosse ao contrario, eu seria aceitado

expulso do reino, o que foi que eu fiz?
eu ainda nāo sei bem, por favor, me tirem daqui
nāo sinto mais minhas asas, agora to sozinho
em forma de humano, me juntando com os impios

Eu era o mais belo, mais forte e esbelto
personificado da perfeiçāo
nāo sei se é certo

agora sou um mortal, limitado e racional
rancoroso e vingativo
o que aconteceu comigo?
essa terra eu desconheço
todo mundo tem sua ira
brigando por coisas fúteis
esse é o normal do dia dia

suas escolhas tem consequências
nāo era o que foi pensado
nāo era o que planejava
nāo era o que foi tratado

descendo com asas tipo ícaro
eu nāo demonstro amor, pois sou timido
voando sobre o monte, olhando pro seu rosto
nāo toco os pés no chāo, nāo
vejo de tudo um pouco

caindo dos céus tipo Ícaro
eles nāo me aceitaram, pois sou impuro
cometi pecados, do alto ao mais baixo
se fosse ao contrario, eu seria aceitado

Eu era o celestial
cobiçei demais vida
queria o trono pra mim
fiz o que eu nāo devia

to comendo o prato que eu mesmo amassei
ganância é pecado e eu mesmo que pequei
levei um terço do céu comigo
de fato, nāo é bonito
mas eu sou ruim, é isso que eu sinto
aqueles da terra fizeram mal pior que eu
vāo descer de tobogā e sofrer o que nāo sofreu

descendo com asas tipo Ícaro
caindo dos céus tipo Ícaro




descendo com asas tipo Ícaro
caindo dos céus tipo Ícaro

Overall Meaning

In the song "Icaros" by I-One, the lyrics delve into a narrative inspired by the mythological character of Icarus. The singer in the song reflects on his journey, likening himself to Icarus descending with wings. The initial verses convey a sense of introspection and shyness, with the singer mentioning that they do not show love openly due to their timid nature. They soar above the mountain, gazing at a face that captivates them, yet they do not touch the ground, hinting at a detachment from reality. The line "nāo vejo de tudo um pouco" suggests a sense of not fully comprehending or experiencing everything.


As the song progresses, the tone shifts to one of rejection and impurity. The singer feels cast out and sinful, contemplating their actions from high to low. There is a longing for acceptance and redemption, a desire to be embraced despite previous transgressions. The emotional turmoil of being ostracized and disconnected from the divine realm is palpable in the lyrics, as the singer grapples with their newfound mortality and the company of the wicked.


The lyrics then explore themes of pride, ambition, and downfall. The singer reflects on their former glory and perfection, questioning the righteousness of their past actions. They lament their current state as a mere mortal, consumed by bitterness and a thirst for revenge. The contrast between the former celestial being and the flawed human they have become is stark, highlighting the consequences of their choices and the loss of their former divine nature.


In the final verses, the singer acknowledges their own culpability and acknowledges the cycle of sin and punishment. They recognize their own faults and the consequences of their actions, admitting to their own downfall and the burden of their own mistakes. The imagery of descending with wings akin to Icarus and falling from the heavens emphasizes the themes of hubris, redemption, and self-awareness that permeate the narrative of the song. The repetition of these symbolic gestures throughout the song reinforces the cyclical nature of human ambition, downfall, and eventual reckoning.
